Hello guys, I'm new in the forum, my name is Erick.
I'm building a Green DPSS laser for my final project, what I need help is if the parts I'm buying are the correct ones, I recently bought the Nd:YAG crystal and the KTP one, I'm looking forward to buy the laser diode and I found this one on ebay:
808 nm 2W
808nm 810nm 2000mW 2W TO3 Package Infrared IR Laser Lazer Diode LD | eBay
I need help deciding what driver should I buy, I found this one on ebay, and seems capable of driving up to 3 A and can be modulated, which is desirable , the driver is the next one:
3A Laser Driver
3A Analog Linear PWM Laser Diode Driver with Thermal Protection | eBay
Does that driver going to be good for the diode? I also have 2 other diodes of the same mount(TO-3) but with 1W power, can the driver also meet the requirements for those other 2 also?
Ok, seems a lot of questions but I wanna build the laser in the right way(without blowing some expensive stuff). Also searched for heatsink for the laser diodes and found these ones:
Inner diameter 13mm Cooling Heatsink/Heat Sink for Laser Diode Module
2pcs TO3 Transistor Heat Sinks to 3 Black Amuminum 45x45x14mm | eBay
Should one of them or both be capable for just testing the laser diodes?
Well, that's pretty much what I need to know, I really appreciate the help and thanks in advance for it!
