I bought 8 pieces of sharp SM diodes to my new home build 4W RGB compact module - incl. beam corrected 1W DI greenie + 465 nm diodes. I like the sealed modules with external beam overlapping adjustments
Any suggestion from the experienced laserists to not kill any of them by overcurrent?
I wanna use all the 8 diodes to get at least 1.5W red beam .
I've already tried the given amperage 230mA for one diode by the datasheet. Nice and bright 5mm beam with G2 lens at 39 feet/12 meters
Who has a long term stability test yet please?
