This is demonstration video of homemade red laser.
It uses high power LOC diode, LPC-815.
I'm using an LM317T driver to supply 410mA to diode and delivering about 200-250mW (or more, don't know) with acrylic lens in axiz module.


This laser cuts, melts, burns and more.
And beam is great !!!

  • I used LM317T....

    You can't use any driver because laser diodes are sensitive.

    This is probably boost driver for flashlights and they won't work for LDs

  • I'm not really sure.

    Brand is HMMüllner , I don't know model.

    It's supposed to be 2xAA low-power flashlight.

  • Nothing is safe.

    In dvd writers these diodes work on significantly lower current.

    It's not safe to overdrive diode and not to use heatsink.

  • Woopty dooo! Everything being burned is black or has to be colored black. I'd only be impressed if the laser was powerful enough to burn most materials regardless of having a dark color. BUT.... good work and great housing. Might want to put a warning label on that powerful of a laser though. :)

  • i wanna know how to make it :)

  • @ThatKidInKrutches lol...

    nm = wavelenght of the diode.. ( or something... )

    wut do u mean by high level..

  • what is a nm and what is so good if there a high level?

  • Thats the RIGHT way to do a "Laser Flashlight Hack"

    Good Job.

  • what driver did you use?

    i use a 500mah, 2.5-5v driver, it wouldn't power the diode, maybe the driver is dead

    -.-

  • Good divergence.

  • What kind of host/flashlight body is that?
