Let's drive the worlds most powerful visible laser diodes FAR beyond its original specifications!
Running at hundreds of volts and over 80 amps, with a home-made Avalanche Nanosecond Pulsed Laser Diode Driver!
Alternatively, please share this content on your social media platforms, it really helps me out!
