The coupon doesn't work anymore. Plz fix

Is a copper heat sink necessary for a decent duty cycle? I've seen builds with just an aluminum heat sink.

I'm looking to build a 405nm laser with the 16x diode pretty soon but I'm not sure what lens is best. I know the difference between the G2 and the 3 element lens but I just can decide on one. I'd like your opinions because I'm finding both lenses being used for this diode.

I've been lurking on this forum for like a year now but kinda forgot to announce my presence. I now realize that's probably why some of my questions weren't taken seriously. I found out about lasers from StyroPyro's YouTube channel and am now regularly saving up for new laser builds.

Re: Does Anyone Have A Need For a Bunch of Practically New 16340 Li-ion Batteries ? Well if your willing to give them away, I do have a laser that uses 16340s and planing on building another one that uses them as well and I only have a pair of them.

What lense did you use? I'm assuming everyone uses the G2 for high powered builds correct?

I live about 2 miles from an airport and the runway for the planes is positioned directly twords my house so planes are constantly flying over me. It really sucks when when trying to play with lasers

So I just build my first laser with a Oclaro 700 diode and I just realized I don't know how to figure out which way the battery's would go if you build your own laser. Is their some rule I can follow? Can seem to find any info about this.

Ok I'll do that too, thanks for the advice.

So if their isn't a cheaper driver I can buy I guess I'll just buy the diode from DTR with the pre installed nano driver.

I'm looking to build a laser with the Oclaro 700. I want to save money and buy a cheaper driver than just buying the diode with the nano driver. But I can't seem to find a driver set to 1.2A, survival lasers sells this one: Survival Laser Driver But I'm not sure if it's bad that it's slightly...

I'm confused on if certain diodes need certain drivers since I heard that red diodes need a soft start driver. So I would like to know for future reference what diodes can I just use a plain driver that comes with Survival Lasers host assemblys and what diodes need a special driver?

I was looking around on eBay for a red laser to see if I could find anything cheaper than what it would cost to build one and came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/222353700299 The seller claims its 500mw with a 12mm beam at 10 meters. The seller has very good feedback but are these specs...

I mean beam visibility. How does the red multi mode beam look when pointing in the sky? Does it still look like a decent beam?

Well how visible would a single mode red laser be at night? I know i can't get a red laser to closely match the visibility of my green and blue laser but i would like a red laser thats not going to look like nothing compared to them. I've heard some people say that multi mode red lasers...

Hello, I've purchased a green and blue laser over the last few months of being on this forum. Now i want a red laser to complete my simple collection and though this would be a good time to try and build one. I'm stuck between the Oclaro 700 diode and the Mits 500. Which one would be better for...

What's the driver set to?

Do you know approximately how much hours this laser has been run for? Has it been used much?
