Laser diodes
To get stable laser power out of a laser diode and good power supplier is needed. For Michael Paul's project we borrowed a Tetronix CPS250 triple output power supply from Bill Hetherington (25V 600mA).
The cheap 532 nm laser diode that Michael used does not have a good beam profile. Two options, buy and expensive laser or couple the laser to a single mode fiber.
Unit
eV to nm: 1 eV photon has wavelength 1240 nm.
