DIY: How to Make a High Powered Burning Blue/Violet Laser Pointer

The video shows you how to build a high powered burning violet laser (reason why it says Blue/Violet in title is because half the things you point the violet laser at fluoresce and cause the dot to turn blue)

For written tutorial go here: http://styropyro.com/tutorials/violetmodule.htm

Parts List:
PHR-803T sled-

(Use this link instead of the one in the description, this place is cheaper! This is the laser diode only so you don’t have to deal with the rest of the sled)

101mA Driver- http://tinyurl.com/dnam4q

Aixiz Module-

Helpful Notes:
For extra output, cut out the plastic on the back of the lens

This set up should yield you just under 100mW of 405nm (violet) light, easily enough to burn.

DO NOT “test” the laser diode by hooking it up to a 9v battery, if you do you will break your laser

NEVER EVER point this laser in yours or somebody else’s eyes, the wavelength of this light is more energetic then most visible light so a hit in the eye will damage your eyesight! Also do not stare at the dot from up close with out proper protection, if you stare at the dot too much when burning things your eyesight could get damaged.

    uhh man, oreder that thing aixiz module which I just got delivered and laser diode which shoudl arrive soon. But I didnt know I have to get driver. Can I just craft it myself? Just by buying board and all those little resistors ? Or is driver somehow special? Please reply as soon as you can. Thanks.

    Hello !
    Is it supposed to hurt the eyes ? I just purchased a “100mW blue-violet laser” from budgetgadgets, and it’s not really bright. (I’ve no experience with these lasers, so I prefer ask ^^)
    Thank you !
