thank you so much for the knowlodge, wise sir, i shall remember thee. i will post a reply to you on this post if i manage to get this one working, even tough i will proabalby fail, i may find experience or whatever...
i will drive a single diode tough. datasheet says it goes from 220mA to 420mA. I think that 3.5 A is to drive the whole block ain't it?btw do you think that the default ball lens of a single diode can burn stuff up close?
edit: yeah, you are proabably right i was reading the treshold current...
the shipping cost to my country (65 dollar) is above what i can pay to import legaly without paying huge taxes... i will buy g2 lenses separetly from china i guess
long story short, i made a post a few months ago asking on advice on how to build my first laser... i was very dumber and pretty much knew nothing about eletronics, i tought it was some easy thing, peak dunning kruger effect moment.... of course i fried the diode instantly. i didn't even...
thank you my friend, i will try to do that, and hopefullly, not die or blind myself, it does not seams too hard to do it, i think i can do a hetsink with some Processor heatsinks and some computer fans.
yes, that is what i tought, i bought a diode online, it will arrive in 12january, it is ml101j29, but I don't know how I am going to turn it on, the datashet says what is writen in the image.
i have a feeling I just need to feed 300mA at 2.6 volt without burning my house or the diode, if it is...
So, i want to build a laser, I never built one before, and I don't have much knowledge in eletronics, I know a little bit tough, so I saw a video on youtube of a guy building a laser from a dvd reader, and I think that even though I am dumb I can make one, the thing I want to know is how do I...
