Broke my laser

[escapefate]

after a year of use i broke my laser via dropping it. I shook it and heard a rattle so i took it apart, this is what i have

I need help.

Was it a cheap eBay laser? The host looks like it.

It seems the crystals have dis-aligned...unless you are great in making green lasers and how the crystals must be place, it's as good as dead.

Sorry

yeah cheap 15$ ebay laser. ~30mw i loved it.

Yea, it's dead.

Not trying to be rude, just stating the truth. I would pick up a laser from LaserGlow, good prices/durability :beer:

 

[escapefate]

ive already got a new laser on order. just picking around at this one.

Alright :beer:

Curious: What one did you get this time?

 

[escapefate]

JD 850 200mW (~100Mw)

JD 850 200mW (~100Mw)

Link? Hehe.

Don't mess with that unless you have some 808 - 1064nm safety glasses. The diode in there is emits very
strong infrared (much more than 30mW). It is a light which cannot be seen.

the JD850 ?

 

[NightExplorer96]

the JD850 ?

Escap?

Not wanting to ruin the party or anything...but for $45 you aren't going to get 200mW of 532nm

And yes, every green laser uses IR to produce green.

For example:

100mW 532nm uses a 1W IR diode

500m 532nm uses a 5W IR diode

etc..

I expected it to be overrated. Here is a question. How do I know what is rated correct and what is going to be overrated. Is there a set price zone for REAL 200mW?

Yes,

On average expect to pay around $150-200 for 200mW of 532nm.

Basically $1 for every 1mW.

So...

100mW=$100
200mW=$200
1000000mW=$1000000 :wtf:

 

[escapefate]

so you think the JD 850 is around 50mW

A 100mW 532 wont have a 1W pump... Just saying I'd predict the laser you bought will be maybe 90+mW :eg:
