Does anyone have any thoughts on using one of the new 1Watt 650nm T03 Diodes for use in a scanner system? I have the opportunity to buy 1pc from a manufacturer for as discounted price of $250.00 + 30 DHL Shipping charge. I already have the T03 heat sink and collimating tube. I am however concerned about the size of the beam and if it can be made usable with a focusing lens.
Would be great if this has already been tested by one of the pro's out there.
