Laser diode

I wasn't able to find another dvd burner to take apart to make a stronger laser diode. So instead we are sticking to using the 50mw laser. I have  thought of a way to improve the quality by making the image of the slide smaller this in turn should make the image projected smaller but the quality of the projection better since it is more concentrated. Besides cutting out the slide we will also use the reminder of the of the plastic to cut out letters to decorate the projection slide. This should all be done by tomorrow or on the day we do the projection.
