Diode Lasers.... What's Under the Hood 01

- THis video series goes where none have gone before. It is not a "look at what I can do with my diode laser" or "Buy this laser because it is so much better than the competition" The very nature of the technology prevents any serious exploration of how it really works at destroying materials. However I think I have the knowledge and experience gained from other laser types to penetrate and explain/demonstrate why and how a diode laser has limited capabilities.

The video notification from this channel is by far the one that makes me most happy on all of CZcams. Thank you very much for so much knowledge.
really good lecture, looking forward for upcoming episodes. thank you ☺️
What a masterclass 🙌👏❤ thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights!
Once again you nailed it! So much mis and .lack of information on diode lasers. I am so glad you are hitting this one head on.
Great video as usual, Russ
This is very interesting as I also have resin 3D printers that uses resin that cures with 365 to 405 nm light. I'm still lost, but learning.
Great to see you back and especially about diodes lasers
Super informative, thank you!
i bought my first co2 laser over 12 years ago. i bought my first blue diode laser over three years ago and i've owned machines from four different companies.
i know these chinese manufacturers do NOT know about their machines. most of the time the laser modules are outsourced and the laser companies are not involved in the engineering process. anybody who has owned a blue diode laser machine and had to contact product support will know what i'm talking about and it's very frustrating. but to keep things in perspective - blue diode laser are very cheap compared to co2, both in price and quality.
full disclosure - i am an authorized distributor for sculpfun so i know a bit more that happens behind the scenes.
Before I approached Cloudray, I had already asked many techniical questions of the big names in the diode arena with alsmost zero response. The only question that was ever answered was one I already knew the answer to and that was the speed at which the diodes could be switched by the PWM. Answer was 20kHz but as theserare diodes, I supect it is actually much higher. Yes, these are products manufactures by a few specialists (probabaly the people that make bluray players) and sold for rebadging in conjunction with branded XY plotting machines ...the simple part of the machine. I will eventually get round to looking at the complex optics in these devices because it bears no remblence to most other laser technonolgy but achieves and end result by a different means. I cannot be critical of any particular manufacturer because my samples are unbranded.
Thanks for the comment
Russ, just when I think you have about run out of rabbits to chase, you find another hole. I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey you have embarked on. I tell everyone that I meet that wants to meddle in lasers, that they need to watch your videos so they can get a better understanding of how lasers work.
