Does that make sense? If so, the only other things I may have to concern myself with is temperature regulation and consistent power. I assume if the current is consistent then the diodes will maintain their 5mW output, but I realize this may change if the temperature rises. And I do need these...

Actually, I miss spoke it looks like they do sell a driver. https://mi-lasers.com/product/acc-laser-diode-driver-kit-2/ They say the current is adjustable, so I take it that will depend on what resistors I sodder onto the board and what voltage I attach to it. Since they don't tell me what...

Alan, Thanks for the response! I did come across the AixiZ website. I didn't know the modules came with built in drivers. I am hesitant to purchase them on account of the lack of information (e.g. mA range, divergence, temperature...). I want to make sure I can safely run the lasers. mi-lasers...

Yeah I have scoured Ebay but there is no product out there that meets my specifications. Most are LEDs and not lasers and the lasers that are out there either have the wrong wavelength or are simply glorified laser pens. There are commercial products that meet my specifications but are only sold...

@ RedCowboy I see. I was planning on running them in parallel, so maybe I can drive 4 rows of 4, using 4 different drivers... I've searched a lot and I am still no closer to finding the components I need (at a reasonable price) I saw DTR's webstore, but unfortunately they only have 638 nm, not...

I'm basically just trying to build a laser array that I can use in low level laser therapy. It needs to be able to give out 635 nm and cover a large area of skin (maybe around 50 cm^2) resulting in around 2-3 joules per cm^2 after 30 mins. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am very new to electronics but I have done a lot of research and would like your assistance on finalizing my setup. My goal: An array of 16 evenly spaced 635nm 5mw laser diodes that can hold that wattage and wavelength for 30 minutes uninterrupted Things I know I need: 16...
