Coherent high power laser diode

This project was self initiated to experiment with lasers because lasers are cool! Furthermore high power laser commercial equipment is usually very expensive and the research around lasers is often very prestiguous. The mess below is a high current (up to 80-90A) low voltage 2V supply along with water pumps and a microcontroller to monitor temperature of the laser head.
