SUPPLIES: Laser Diodes
Basically, 5mW/650nm with REMOVEABLE LENS CAPS is what you are looking for!
Basically, 5mW/650nm with REMOVEABLE LENS CAPS is what you are looking for!
From what we have covered in other parts of the site, you probably know that the lasers we are looking for are 5mW, 650nm. One note, remember that the "output" energy could be different than the "input" energy, so you might want to ask the manufacturer for those specifics if you want to ensure what you are buying is strong enough.
We are ALWAYS looking for good places to get cheap diodes, so if you find some good ones, please let us know!
Their website is www.aixiz.com, and they also sell on eBay. So far, this company seems to be the best deal out there, and the five major manufactures of commercial device use these exact same diodes (as well as "The Amazing Laser Brush" and Lasermax systems).
The ones that most of us use are the 650nm 5.0mW 8x13mm for $4.00 a piece. [You can get discount pricing --EMAIL ME to inquire about it --and I can often put you right in touch with Dr. Maricle!] These have an input rating of 5mW, and an average output rating of 4mW... and don't worry, that's still just fine. These have the "focusable" lenses that we unscrew and remove so the lasers will diffuse. They have other models available, as well, including 10mW ones (I don't know if they can be made to diffuse or not, so you might want to check that out).
UPDATE: AiXiZ really wants to help out us Do-It-Yourselfers, and in response to the volume of our site, they have agreed to give us volume discounts! The first increment is 50 diodes, and the price drops from $4 to $3! This takes a big hunk off of our costs so we can now make a very effective device -on par with the commercial devices- in the $300 range now! ...And we know they will have the same quality and powered diodes that the commercial devices use!
This is great news, and here is the link to the note from Dr. Maricle of AiXiZ:
"AIXIZ LLC DEALS FOR CUSTOMERS ON THIS SITE! -A note from Dr. Charles E. Maricle"
...and this is the page with the special discount links to their PayPal order forms:
"AiXiZ O.M.G. Site Volume Discount Form"
Times just got much better for Do-it-Yourselfers!
-O.M.G.
...hopefully, as we are made aware of them! Competition is a *good* thing... In fact, if you know of any other sources, PLEASE let us know! Even if you are a manufacturer! I hate only having one reliable source for anything.
