I'm from Germany The housing in the images is from a 50 Watt CW fiberlaser - have several with different wreckage types ... some with exploded fiber-couplings for backreflection ... some with broken electronics (one with 130Watts is emitting fine, when supporting the diodes with current only) ... some with cut external fiber ...

Re: Info about complete laser module system - 4 months ago
... you can try to apply enough current at the specified voltage to one or more of the diodes, so they start lasering and check, what amount of IR power is emitted by the corresponding fiber. To start lasering, this should be something like 4 Amps at 12V (absolute max. current is 44 Amps) with cooling on or for a short time, so the diodes won't overheat. Without reattaching the fiber you have tby VDX - Laser Cutter Working Group
