Hi Guyz
Is there any way to combine lots of these DVD RW Laser diodes to produce a powerfull laser beam ?
Each Modern 16 speed DVD burner has a diode of around 100-200mw output.
If say 10 were used in a tandem sort of fashion it could give a beam power of say 500mw - 1watt based on optic power losses ...
I thought of useing Dicros with each laser doing a 90 degree turn with all beams being parallel ....
Any ideas
Many Thanks Ritchie
