Hey guys I like lasers and i want to know what sort of things can help stop a diode braking.

 

In your laser lighter rog you said yur putting "way too much power" through than you're meant to, so you have to keep it cool.

 

If i want to make a portable high powered DPSS, should i look for a laser diode that can take more power / use more cooling / use more than one diode

 

pics of my ideas will com soon...

Heatsinks, correct input voltage and sensible duty cycle will help your DPSS laser last longer.

 

Combining beams is not really an option for a hand held.
