That HL63520HD is a dual beam diode There's also the ML562G84 triple beam diode I don't think you can get >2W red from a single diode and have a single beam. Either multiple beams or multiple diodes combined into one beam

Thats a masterpiece, that fact you can adjust those dichros on such a small assembly is mind blowing

Welcome to LPF! Thats quite a nice set you got there. I'm sorry to hear about your mishap, lasers can be dangerous but worth it!

Thats incredible! What collimator lenses are you using for the diodes, the block they are mounted in is tiny so I can only imagine the lenses are super small too. Also, how did you go about lining up those dichros? Do you hold them with the lasers aligned and wait for them to set or do you have...

I'll take it!

I wish I had a Micro Center nearby, every time I see pictures of them they just look like candy land

^that will be glorious

That caught my eye too, you have an RGB?

It is an ACS1500SE driver. They are hard to find now unfortunately

Well that's a shame that one of the diodes was a dud right out of the box. Is all the alignment and aiming of the lasers for proper overlap done with the single combining element?

It’s has a G8 now It was originally 5mw of 1064nm, without the led you wouldn't even know it was on

The black and gold host has always been my favorite. I didn't even know there was a keyed version of them until I came across this one a couple months ago.

On todays episode of things that shouldn't be done but it looks pretty cool anyway, I've made a 1W green pen laser. The diode is a Sharp GH05C01B9G, I have several of these but this one doesn't wavelength shift as much as the others I have. Where others push up to 525-527nm @ 1W, this one...

None of the usual suspects seem to have Efest or Vapcell 10440's on hand, but amazon has them in stock.

She's a beauty, I'll bet that curving channel would have looked amazing filled with glowing plasma.

Unprotected is fine so long as you, the user, don't allow the battery to drain excessively. In my experience high power lasers start to produce sub-par performance before the battery gets low enough for the protection chip to take over so it usually finds itself back on the charger before...

It looks great, amazing photos too

Water loves to corrode exposed bare metals, especially those used for battery contacts in small electronic devices. It's possible a small bit of corrosion is acting as a resistor on the battery contacts in the laser reducing power through put. Low power pointers are cheap and easy to come by...

That’s some incredible power!
