Hey BoomDog
I agree, I,ve heard and read too many stories of low power from those units, .. like half power.
Its gunna take about 450mW of 658nm Red to be about equal brightness to the green.
And finding a 635nm laser with the same thin beam spec as the green will be almost impossible with...
Hehe , Yeah.. I read that too.
I am sure they meant the laser projection tv itself as a whole would produce a wider color gamut because of the deeper blue and the deeper red diodes, as compared to CRT or lamp driven units.
I guess they didnt proof read it first.
it'l be interesting how the green...
Hi Aaron, No ours look much brighter
Hey guys
Thought I'd let you know of some of my results with these diodes..
My two, purchased from the same seller on ebay netted two
combination Violet/Red/IR diodes.
Both started threshold at about 22 and 27ma both output 22mW at 42ma..
I didnt push...
Thanks Guys
It was fun to build it..
We did it just to see if we could do it..
And to share it...
Spec came down to visit us and it gave us something "laser" to do.
Note: These diodes are extremely fragile and can be damaged
so much faster than any other kind of diodes we have experienced...
We (Marconi and Spec) looked at a Blu-Ray pointing device and realized we could
probably put one together.
As far as we are able to tell this is the first one in the nation.
We made a neat new toy. Have a look. ;)
405nM: a beautiful blacklight purple, yes the beam is visible with light...
Trident
It is very important to include all lenses
That particular lens helps form the wide beam from the diode
to a much narrower one to get to a small spot beam .
The power in the spot beam is what is needed for the ND crystal to go above threshold to generate harmonics...

Hi Fred
Please put me down for #57

Thanks
Hi Ivar..Welcome to CPF
The yellow wires as they are shown connect to the two
outer connections...
The red wire goes to the center..
You will need a soldering iron
Be careful ,
not to do this over carpet
as this will blow the diode.
Discharge yourself by touching something like the case

Re: anybody have one of these modules? { 650nm 100
Yep
It would be nice to have an APC circuit in those, but the diodes used do not contain a photodiode.
Their are other ways to make them stable.
one way would be to at least have a regulator inside .
Another way would be a a zener (altho not...
Yes, Its output varies quit a bit..
You might want to check out the link below , It might have some answers for you.
I just wanted to give you my experience without sounding too biased with that unit..
I didnt come here to try to sell you on anything ... see for yourself.
