Hello everyone,
I have owned 2 lasers for a while now and always have wanted something fairly stronger than my 150mW green one. Unfortunately I have no experience when it comes to building these things and what exactly is involved, nor do I want to risk ruining one attempting to do so. If you are at all interested I am looking for someone with prior knowledge of custom building lasers to make a hand held green one with the following specs:
Housing: Not Picky Whatever Works Best
Wavelength: 532nm
Power: 1W (would be OK with a bit lower)
Beam Divergence: somewhere close to 2.5mRad
Power Consumption: 3.7V @ 1A
Battery: 18650 Li-Ion (similar to the ones made by ultra fire)
Battery Life : Minimum 10 minutes
Modes: At least Low Power/High Power
Switch: Push Button With Constant on/off
Duty Cycle: Continuous
These are all the specs I currently know that I would like. None of these are definite and I am fine with compromises as long as it can have a continuous duty cycle powered by a 18650 battery with a decent battery life. I have no knowledge of every part involved, so if I missed something or listed something that seemed odd please let me know (I am new to his whole procedure and forum so excuse me for any mistakes). Also I would entertain the option of trading my current 150mW one to cut the cost a bit. If you are up for the job message me and I will be more than happy to discuss terms and other specifications.
