Well that would solve the problem of focusing and eye damage, so how essential is grounding myself to prevent ESD when working with the diode and driver?
With night vision would I be able to see the beam itself as is the case with green lasers or would I just see the spot where it hits an object like a red laser?
I tried to take on the task of building a high power laser with an understanding of the physics of electricity but little knowledge about lasers. I read that you needed a diode, driver, and a few other things and bought the first cheap IR diode and some cheap driver I found on Ebay. This was...
Hey, My name is Jeremy. I am from California and have always been interested in lasers but until recently have not thought about building one, which is how i stumbled upon this informative site.
