IR Laser Build

[Alien Laser]

Ir laser build see video looks nice the balloon pope instant when the beam touched it

Update-
The power on it is will measure it soon :thinking:
The diode used is a see the data graph.

Nice build. What's that diode's power?

Welcome back to the hobby Alien

Nice build. What's that diode's power?

I second that, good build. It would be nice to know the power and wavelength. It must be pretty powerful.
If it a diode laser, they usually have poor divergence and you popped those balloons from a distance with ease. Good job Alien Laser

Hi,
Nice build , question you build lasers all the time my question is when are you going to purchase a LPM seeing a read out is all about the finished product. You have lots of beam shot and no LPM figures.. Just curious.....take some pics of the actual laser being LPM'ed that would be great.. See how nice this is to all our reader and members..

Am still waiting on you to send me one LPM as a gift

Even without the LPM do you know the power of the diode? Just a ballpark figure? :thanks:

 

[CurtisOliver]

It would be interesting to know.

Not to derail Aliens nice build:beer:
but lifetime that pic sure looks like the 520nm you built for me:thinking:

Hi Gss,
Yes it is the build buddy love that green beam nice..
@ Sta,
It would be nice to know the outputs ..
@ Curtis,
We will never know his out puts.

@Alien,
By the time i send you an LPM you will be collecting social security .. Come on break out ...

Info updated hehehe

Wow, your divergence has got to be pretty good for a 808. Very nice.

The diode used is a 800mW+ 808nm 5.6mm i set me driver at 510mA, Max is 1.1A

Be careful with that. I've got an IR keep hidden in a box, very dangerous w/808

Mine is over a watt and is VERY dark red up close and personal, but from a foot or two away you can't see the spot at all.

Get an LPM to measure

Built a 4W 808nm IR c-mount about a month or so ago it's in a Kryton groove. 3W diode running off 5A driver for 4W output.

Mine is over a watt and is VERY dark red up close and personal, but from a foot or two away you can't see the spot at all.

You can distance focus it with a cell phone cam or security cam, many photography digital cams have an IR blocker you have to remove from inside.

By the time you get close enough to see the dot wouldn't you already have eye damage with a 1 watt:thinking:
