apart to see the parts. I don't know if it glued or screwed. The lens
is screwed and glued, but I don't want to fool with the focus
right now. I don't know if I can measure the laser current, but
I think I will try, and get all the current parameters before hooking
up the other controllers.

The opperating temperature of the current laser is above room
temperature.

Current conditions.

29 deg C
2 A
1.78 v
1.49 v idle

Its working with the new controllers. I didn't need to know much
other than what the previous settings were. If I were selecting
a new diode, then I should know a lot more.

You can safely adjust the temperature to see if that gets more
output power but you should NOT increase the diode current beyond
what it is now.

According to the researcher, they need more power for the confocal device.
