Collimator for RED laser diode

[badger1666]

Ther is no lens for sale that we know of tht will help you.ike I said andyf97 is the only man who can help you, and at the moment he is not saying what lens it is

gee your hardwork!

read post 18 of this thread it anwser that question which you have already asked

[badger1666]

geez tonix read my posts properly

prism = no

prisms = 3mrad at best

understand

collimation first
prisms second

looks like you wasted a lot of money untill somone fine a collimation setup that works

i am understand it of course is clear that collimation first and prisms second. i give link to you just for asking - p1t8ull have prisms, not collimator right? so what collimator i need to use with this prisms?

yes p1t8ull has prisms not collimator

you just dont get it do you ?

there is no collimator thats good for your diodes...... period

i know its not what you want to hear but thats the way it is
the only way to find one is spend $$$$ on lens and keep trying till you find one
and even then dont expect anything great

pm andyf97 and ask him

understand. you say for my diodes, so maybe for others diodes you know acceptable collimator?

[badger1666]

yes for other diodes like the 150mw 640nm
but you need to wait those lens are being made now and will be for sale in a few weeks.
the other good lens was the roithner len27 but they have stopped making it
you could ask mccarrot on the forum he has collimators for other red diodes
but they are expensive but quiet good
