I came to this forum in hopes for some helpful input. "no knowledge, esoteric interest wild projects, no real purpose" "This is either a stupid application, or a purposefully vague application to try to make yourself sound important." Seriously, you people are the worst. first thing you do...

I can't go into detail about the application or system. There are power constraints. 5v and 5amps should cover this diode though for 30 sec burn. having a heater for this amount of time is a huge power drain though. I'm more concerned over it's potential feasibility of cracking the lens or not...

I will be performing quite a few experiments to prove out the laser feasibility In theory you could encapsulate the laser and provide it with a heater. Drawback to that is the heater would have to be on all the time while the laser wasn't in use. That burns a lot of power. Who said anything...

Will that large of a temperature change between the ambient (-100F) temp and the initialization of the laser not produce a thermal shock and shatter/crack the lens? the laser no longer being at 450nm wouldn't be an issue for me as long at it still had sufficient power allowing it to cut...

Hi all, I'm looking for some info on how cold I can get a laser before I turn it on to see if it will still work. Theoretically, could you use a laser in space? The laser I'm currently using is the NUBM44 450nm 6W+ laser. If it was -100F and I tried turning it on, would it? Thanks
