The lighting characteristics with the self-made diode laser are discussed in this research, and compared with the He-Ne laser which has high coherent light. It is found that the He-Ne laser surpasses the diode laser in coherence length and divergence angle, however the diode Laser still has the advantage of the high brightness and low cost. In inquiring into the influence of the temperature upon the diode laser power, its the most high power is 5.2 mW and down quickly under the diode laser adding not any metal tube for spreading heat and focusing. When laser diode is added a metal tube after focusing, the power has been maintaining in the 18 mWs, and display very stable.
