Different diodes need different drivers to mitigate the voltage and current. For example, the driver from Na UBM44 or NUBM47 laser will not work for the diode M140 laser.

Laser diodes work on the same principle as the bigger gas lasers. They function as an optical oscillator by stimulating a chain reaction of photon emission inside a tiny chamber.

Tunable laser diodes are the latest manifestation of that old problem, but they have a much more severe set of parameters—after all, these lasers operate in the 200-THz region. For example, ITU ...

[Smells of Bikes] wanted to add laser etching to the list of tricks his home CNC setup is capable of. He has a diode which will work for the task, but he needed a driver that could be interfaced wi… ...

BluGlass demonstrates working 405, 420, and 450nm laser diodes 15 Oct 2020 Australia-based semiconductor developer says its 405nm model is approaching commercial specification.

Thankfully for our eyes, laser headlights don’t work in this way at all. Instead, laser headlights consist of one or more solid state laser diodes mounted inside the headlight.

The S1 from xTool is something a little different. It's a diode laser with a large enclosure and a powerful 40-watt laser that can cut and etch just about anything you need, with a few caveats.

Researchers say they have designed a laser diode that emits the shortest-wavelength ultraviolet light to-date, with potential applications in disinfection, dermatology, and DNA analyses.
