    Laser Warning Looking for drivers laser

    Hi guys I haven't been on here for a long while
    About to start a new build
    A pair of single mode rgb projectors
    Drivers were a nightmare to get last time I was on there
    Has anyone got any
    And from DTR's diodes is there any that stand out
    I'm looking for the projectors to be around 0.5 to 1 watt
    Cheers fellas
    Hope everyone has been well
    James

    My favorite low power driver remains the SimpleDrive by X-Wossee/Vladimir. I can't recall what his handle was here in PL. BBE maybe? Anyway, the SimpleDrive came in several power versions that you'd match to your diode's needs. This specificity allowed better fine tuning of bias/zero-balance settings. The SimpleDrive had stand-by beam suppression, bias, optional high-temp monitoring of the diode, and optional interlock. I routinely get my singlemode diodes (in the 30-700mw range) to lase reliably to as little as 1mw.

    There is one huge snafoo at the moment though; Vladimir is located in Russia. At this time I doubt he can ship anything out to most countries.

    i have a few (4 to be exact) like new flexmod p3 drivers. these were the gold standard a while back. they have analogue modulation and a ton of safety features. iirc these drivers were so safe you could hot swap diodes on these things. i'd sell them for $30 a pop if interested.
