So, I soldered leads onto this diode, and when I did, the little chip fell off, leading a bare solder pad. I originally thought nothing of this. So, I made a simple driver with an LM317 and a potentiometer to test the diode, as I was afraid I overheated it during the soldering process. I plugged...

It seems as if a round host could roll around, causing you to lose control of the beam of the laser. However, most of the builds I see here are 100mW + lasers put into a round host. Why put it into a host that could roll around, causing the beam to go anywhere? It seems that if everyone used...

Thanks a ton for this!

I do realize how large an electrostatic drop generator is. Thanks a ton for all the info!!

Is this possible? Or does a TEA Laser using air as the lasing medium require higher amperages than an electrostatic generator would produce? I know the time between pulses would be much slower than using say, a neon sign transformer, but this would be much easier and cheaper. My goal is to make...

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and I recently took the diode out of a NEBO 5077 flashlight. I know this is a red diode, but I do not know the wavelength or power of this diode. Does anyone know the specs for this diode? On the case, it says it is a Class IIIb laser diode. At the bottom of the...
