Hello. I am going to build my first blue laser. I have a question about diodes.
The most popular for an affordable price are these:
PL450 single mode
9mm diode
m140 diode
Questions. What are the main differences? I understand the single mode is going to give the best beam profile, and I am interested in the beam mostly. But, at only 150mW its not that powerful. So, what are the main differences between these, mainly the 9mm vs the m140 in terms of beam profile? Im looking for the nicest beam possible for this build. Thanks again in advance for any help.
