LD405120H7J (kinda like 6x)

Heres the diode

Heres a chart

So with that chart

I would like to know if 160ma would be safe for this diode to get 160mw. (then put on a 32 USD lens and get 200mw.)

The chart link does not work but hey if you can get me a lens that costs $32 and increase my laser power output by 20% I will take 100 of them!
A lens will reduce power due to loses not increase it.

Me too

This is what can appear to happen if you try measuring an un-collimated diode; you don't fit the whole beam on the sensor head and when you add a collimator, you do do do do...

The lens in question here is a custom coated lens to be AR at 408nm. The graph power (160mW) is based on a measurement from the regular AixiZ acrylic lens. The other reading (200mW) is based on the reading through this custom collimation lens.

I believe the source for this is eBay, but I have not personally tested this to verify these numbers or stand behind them...

There you go 63 USD, inculding mod, lens and shipping.

Around 25 percent more power then aixiz arylic!

[stanwax]

It still does not increase power - it just introduces less losses providing more available output power - the diode will still be making the same output.

Yea that's true its just a better lens, well way better!

But still its really good to see 25% more power then using this instead of a Aixiz arylic.

You betcha!
