Yes, ofcourse. Will do.

Thanks Alaskan, I've looked into that before I was sketched something like HIMML9's and then found his was ideal for me as it will allow me to customise it eadily. I've still not given up on the TI one.

Thanks Alaskan, 30+ watts of laser power and 60+ for both LD will be enough pumping for squezing a nice cool 'juice' of 1053nm wavelengths @ hefti ~26+ watts YLF output I think. Which also means I don't have to drive my LDs hard at their max either. Any sugestiins guys. Thanks.

Thanks Diachi for explaning it using simple Ohms law. I understood it thanks. Also all the others for offers and your experiences with this type of LD. I thank you all. Just, wondering. I realise that I don't have much head room if I use a 40A SMPS, but, will the LD run at lower currents. I...

Also had another thought. I've just found another SMPS for sale from the same vendor. that is exact same spec as the one I already have. Wondering if I should just use one 5v 40A SMPS via liner sink driver for driving one 40W diode bar. If so, will each provide enough 'juice' for the LD bar...

If you can explain the diffrences that would be great. What is the spec for the SMPS should be? Should 5v 60A SMPS do? (It is being used on another ptoject at present, I can compenscate it for this project for a moment. But, what spec SMPS be better? Thanks.

'You probably could run them both off of that SMPS at full power, but not with a linear driver, it'd need to be a switching buck driver' Can you please elaberate on that. Linear sink driver will be the best choice for the diode bars, I thought. I don't understand how the design principle for...

Thanks diachi, Ok, I can make 2 x sink drivers (driver schematic as from HIMNL9 and ronald1711 as per the thread in year 2010). Each will drive each diode bars seperately. I can supply these sink drivers from the SMPS that can deliver 5V at 40Amps (regulated). What is the best way to connect...

Hello HIMNL9 or any other Gurus out there, I have 2x40w Coherent diode bars from Surplus. I want to run both similtaniousely (at the same time together) from one driver supply if that possible. I am planning to have these two bars (simultaneously) but transversely pumping a small...
