    Info On How To Build a Laser?

    Thanks DTR! That would be awesome except that I want to learn how to do it all myself. Soldering and everything. But I would definately appreciate a link to a detailed tutorial that explains putting everything together (Including wires, heatsink, host etc) Thanks again! :)

    Info On How To Build a Laser?

    Awesome! I have contacted FlamingPyro about both the heatsink and the focus adapter. Hoping to hear from him soon! Is there a good thread or tutorial that you could reccomend that would explain how to hook up the wires to the batteries, driver, and diode? Also, do I NEED a host in order to...

    Info On How To Build a Laser?

    Hey all! I'm planning on building a 1.5-2W laser. I'm about to order all the materials but I need some advice on actually how to put it together. Here is the list of materials that I know I'm using: - 5.6mm Module (Copper) - 445nm M140 Diode (1.5 - 2W) - 405-445nm Three Element Glass lens -...

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    Sweet! Thanks for the info guys! Below I have listed the diode that I have already decided I will probably be getting in order to build the 1w-1.5w laser. 445 M140 1W-1.5W diode (I'm going for heat and power, not for length of beam) Can anyone give me advice on the other items I will need to...

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    I may be missing something, but is the module the host? Or is the module the laser as a whole? I'm trying to get together the materials I need, and I know I need a lense, a diode, and a focus adapter. But I need something to house all of that and the battery. Is that the host? Module? Sorry...

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    Awesome! Thanks guys! Do you know the pricing of DTR's Laser diodes? A highly well reviewed seller on Ebay for $45. Also, does the lense cause the laser to change colors? How do you make sure you have a suitable enough host for heat sinking?

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    Fantastic! Thanks! What is the operating current? Sorry, I'm still learning. And which diode will give me the highest intensity of laser? The higher the power/intensity the hotter the beam will be, correct?

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    Ok, so these are people on this forum? Is there any site that I can go to or do I have to contact them directly? Also, does the intensity of the laser have to do with the diode, lense, or Focus adapter? Or all three? Thanks so much for your help!

    Advice On Building High Powered Lasers?

    Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to the field of laser science and creation. I'm looking to eventually start experimenting around with creating lasers. I have a few questions though. As far as I know, the highest power of laser that is sold on the internet is about 1000mW. Correct? (Unless you're...
