HL63133DG lens/housing

What kind of lens/housing are you using for the HL63133DG?

Hi,
I am using Lenses from Marco Lauschmann and a simple diode block from LF-User Nohoe.

Have a Nice One

There are a few options.

I recently made a couple of 2 diode modules with the 405-g-2 lens.. losses were minimal, and I simply knifed the 2 diodes together. This works well with the diode housings I have for sale.

Also, the new lenses I sell allow knife edging many diodes together @ ~1mrad, without the need for secondary collimation. However these work best with a diode housing that will allow the diode position to be adjusted

Other options that work well are the optima lens

Dave,

What beam spec did you get when you used the 405-g-2?

[dave]

Good question - ~3mm, but as I was matching it to a green, I wasn't going for low divergence, so I cant give you a accurate divergence figure :/

Dave do you have any picture of your 2 diode modules? I'm looking for something like that...

If you got a 3mm beam from a single 405-g-2 lens. Don’t you get a 3x6mm beam if you knifed them together??? Or do I miss something?

The new lens that you talking about, any more info?

Or do I miss something?

what you are missing is what dave forgot to mention

if you use an 405-g-2 or other short FL lens, what you get is not a dot but a line

so, with such a lens you usually get 1 or 1.5 x 3mm of a beam, thus knife-edging two is the way to go

small sample here, an aizix 8mm lens side by side with the 405-g-2. both diodes are LOC 815, but beam properties are almost identical to the 63133

The new lens that you talking about, any more info?

It would help more if you told us what beam specs you are after. Do you want to match a dpss green or do you just want the thinnest beam at apperture, or the lowest divergence for the thinnest beam at distance? This sort of info pretty much determines the kind of lenses you will use

Thank you LaNeK799. Now I understand

I'm looking for something like:

3x3mm
1mrad
170*2=340mW or how hard can I push the HL63133DG?

[dave]

I think i got pretty close to 3mm x 3mm@ 1mrad with the 405-g-1 - I'm sure its possible with the optima lens..

I have been told max current or 170mw from one of the 63133's, but 170mw always comes well before max current.. I have been running them at 280ma ( well below max current ) and see quite a bit more than 170mw, more like 200mw a piece
