Ah, I was trying to find a good wiki page, thanks for the link.

Alright, I'm making a custom burning laser lighter, something I'm sure others have done, and I have a few questions. Battery size is a major concern for me, and since I'm using a high powered infrared laser (1W, 808nm) it takes a lot of juice. I've obtained a driver that can limit the...

From what I'm understanding doubling crystals are very specifically made, not something you can just use on any laser. Not to mention they cost more than the laser itself in many situations. I'll admit I was just trying to get a quick answer when I asked if they could be doubled more than once...

Thanks a ton, that helps out a lot. Any good sources for buying said lens/crystal? Cheaply if possible, since my wallet is extremely tight at the moment. I'll poke around some on the forums, but I don't remember seeing much in the way of 808nm lenses. If I'm understanding correctly though...

Alright, that helps, but I'm still a little confused. Basically, from what I'm understanding, the focal distance and AR have to do with choosing a lens based upon wavelength. Well, that particular question was actually a two part question, and I may have not written it to sound that way, but...

Alright, this is probably a noob question, but I can't seem to find any other threads that explain it (not saying there isn't one, I've just given up on looking). I did however find that basically from your LD wavelength, you can determine what the focus can be, which if I remember right is 1/2...
