Thanks for that information! I really appreciate how everyone is willing to help. The Coherent CCP diode bar that is 100w is basically the same as my Everphotonics package. Yes, I will definitely need to run my diode bar in QCW mode. Do you know of any circuit schematics out there of drivers...

Thank you so much for posting that circuit. It looks really good! I noticed that it was only capable of putting out 1.5A though. How would we make something that would give us the 100A we need at the same low voltage? What are the specifications that you are going to need for the circuit that...

Okay...I will go and see what kind of driver the PM3-100 has. I will let you know as soon as I get that information on it. Thanks so much for your help! This is all just so great! I will also check out Tahmid's blog on SMPS. :)

Thanks for your post! We have a switched mode power supply that is a converter/charger for an RV (originally). It is 12V 100A. We are trying to figure out now how to build a driver that will do QCW and give us the 2-3V @ 60-100A max.

Thanks again diachi! Do you have any suggestions for the switched mode power supply that we have? It is a 12V 100A converter/charger. It is a PowerMax PM3-100.

Thank you so much for your suggestion! That sounds like the way we are going to go. We have a 12V 100A switched mode power supply now. We are trying to figure out how to make a driver that will do QCW and give us a variable voltage and current we want (~2.2V @ 60-100A). Do you or anyone know how...

Yes, I am starting to believe the same thing about Everphotonics as well. Wow! All this information is so great! Thank you again. We are really focusing most of our efforts right now trying to find out about the driver for this thing. You mentioned that you had one of these in use right now...

Yes, focusing the beam is one of the issues we are addressing. We are first just tackling being able to turn it on first though. One of our goals is to do this for a little money as possible as we don't have much of it to work with. That is why we have the just the diode itself instead of...

Wow! Thanks so much for your help diachi! That was really fast! I will definitely fill out my profile. A little background for you. I am a physics student at University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I am part of a group of physics majors that is building a high power laser metal engraver...

Hello, I am very new to laser pointer forums. I am wondering if anyone out there knows anything about the Everphotonics 808-100W-QCW. This is a 100W 808nm laser diode bar. I need to know if this has a driver module on the input. Does anyone know? Any help would be very much appreciated. Here...
