I just received the $12 "10mW" green laser show thing from LED Shoppe, it's pretty cool. I've already taken out the diffraction screen thing, and turned the pot down. But before I play with it more, I'd like to know what resistance I should set it to. I think it was at 880 Ohms when I got it...

So some of you may have seen that I am going to build a blu-ray laser in another thread. I figured I'd make a separate thread for the actual build. I should have had the diode today, but I didn't get to the mail center at school earlier enough. Hopefully I'll be able to get it first thing in the...

As the title says, I found a 106-1 laser. It says the output is 20mW, but that's about all I know about it. There is no power source. I'm not sure what voltage/current requirements it has, but I'd like to play around with it. The only other info I have is that the positive wire is rated to...

I'd like to build my first laser, and I think I'd like to go with the 803T diode. Can any of you guys steer me in the right direction as to what driver to build/buy? I don't really have any problem soldering stuff, so I'd like to build my own driver because I'm sure it would be much cheaper...

Like the subject says, I'm a total noob. I at least know not to come in here making all kinds of demands. So how do I build a laser? Just kidding. But really, there's so much info here, I'm on like overload right now. If there's any way to build a laser that can heat things up (even if just a...
