Anyone have an example of a laser pointer they have made, that uses a single mode diode, to produce a circular spot. Is it possible to make a handheld class 4 laser using a single mode diode? What diode did you use? I'm curious what the build might be like, since most here are using multi...

No objections at all. Not sure how to spec it. I'm just interested in making a blue or green laser, with an expander (adj. preferable) that allows me to have a smaller dot at distance. If I can get one to fit my existing lasers that would be great (S4 and Stainless Survival hosts), but if not...

I have a couple 2W blue lasers and I'm thinking of making one with a beam expander. I've been using the survival laser S4 host. I also have one of the stainless hosts. But I'm not aware of any beam expander (5x or 10x) that work with these. 1) Is there a beam expander that will work with...

Yes, U.S.A.. Yes, I'm familiar with Survival Laser. In fact, I just built one I'm looking for a host, for a 5W plus, that has a side momentary button, in addition to the end. That's what sent me here.

Thanks, I'll check it out. It's not how they work or "what" I need that I have questions about. It's about fit. It's how I know which components are compatible with which hosts. For instance, for a give host, some diode drivers might fit and some might not. Diameters for circular ones as...

Parts and pieces, names, terminology and sizes. In looking for a host assembly, to build a laser, I'm confounded by all the terminology and sizing. For the one I built already, everything came in 2 bundles. I bought a host assembly, that included a heatsink, driver, driver module, and...
