ndrew thanks, but I think I'll leave the optical option alone per LPF user recommendations. Kage, do you have desired output requirements available for that schematic? ~ Dave

Thanks!

Thanks! ~ Dave

Newbie here looking for Meredith glass lens sources. Little help? ~ Dave

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm probably going to use one of the kits that you recommended for the first build. Once I get to know the LDs a little better, I'll lay out some proto boards. I wouldn't mind seeing some of those schematics. I get most of the prototype parts for free through my...

Thanks Rog. I intend on not blowing "many" LDs, but I guess we'll see. If there's one thing that I'm really good at, it's Power Circuits. I'm used to higher power, but it's all the same, just lower values. I'll keep y'all apprised of any findings. ~ Dave

So, it seems as though I've been reading some old information and please correct me or confirm. I just read the data sheet for the Sony SLD1239JL-54 diode and it says that the third pin is not connected. Have laser diodes evolved enough to not need optical feedback? Please remember that I'm an...

I'm still learning to navigate this site and so far I've come across only one built driver. It looks like a good regulated driver, but I don't know if it has the optical feedback. Are any of the kits or built drivers offering regulation with the optical feedback? If so, where do I find them...

I'm planning out my first build attempt. I'm great with LEDs and building circuit cards, but I know little about lasers. Are there any regulated reference, off-the-shelf driver circuit cards available with optical feedback?
