Green line laser close range

------Question for VLM-520-28 LPT Please Put your question below------

I’m new to this field and need some help. I’m working on a custom project where I need a line laser to be as wide as possible in a short distance. I know the lens, well… I think I know the lens is responsible for this distance and angle. is there a green line laser that has a maximum wide angle of about 13” at a 10” distance?

Hello @dv8tech,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, the amount of focus and size of the line or dot are determined almost completely by the lens.

I do have a fair amount of other laser modules that would work the same as the one you mentioned, but you would need to choose a lens that fits your requirements.

Do you have anything with an adjustable lens?

Hello @dv8tech

I am sorry, I do not see any adjustable lens that we carried for laser diodes.

I just made an order for a couple line lasers with a 110* flare and a fsr switch. hopefully I can get these mounted and start playing with them in a few days. I’ll definitely be back for more if I can get a good outcome.

Thank you for the help, you’ve led me in the right direction. I do appreciate it.
