    For a temporary driver (constant current) you can use the trusted DDL driver (daedal): http://www.rog8811.com/laserdriver.htm... For high power broadband mirrors Pat should still have some from the group buy, I have personal stash but.... Try the red sled mirrors for a andythemechanic did a nice analysis of those awhile back for a knife edge dual.

    Thanks sugeek. We concidered of using a lm317 but i decided to wait for a driver like the one from andy. The mirrors of the sledge are nice but i need a long time supplier because i will seling these modules . Since most front surface mirrors have high losses on red it isn,t easy. Mccarrot has a good supplier but the size is 10mm by 10mm. Hopefully we can get them in 5x7mm when buying them in bigger quantaties.

    Laserman has 6x6mm mirrors but he didn,t respond on my PM for some reason. I asked about the loss on the mirrors because if they are good i would order a lot more of them.

    In that case I would contact One Stop Laser Shop and check out the broadband dielectric white light mirror, they can also cut custom sizes. Before I would order those, check if they have a red specific mirror. A bunch of the stuff they have is not listed on the website, give them and email and a call.

    google a curve they are all the same

    the new mirrors i have and sugeek and others have from the group buy are 98% R at 660 im not selling mine may sugeek will sell you his

    if you need a mirror >98% you will have to have one special coated and you are wasting time and money.
