Hey!
I'm really curious how the power output can be achieved with cheap SFP modules or more integrated fiber optic switches, can it go over 1W of laser light? Maybe more advanced ones will output red, green or blue/violet light instead of IR?
A little project with scrap 780nm laser diode form CD burner :D I pressed the diode to metal pen and I can "write" on dark plastic, wood and gray cardboard :D. Diode is powered by LM317 set to 180mA.
Here is a video of this:

Watch in HD !
Merry Christmas
rafalrrrr
I'll want to show you my burning laser harvested from Pioneer BDC-TD01 Blu-Ray combo drive. It outputs about 90mW. Driver is my own modified Joule Thief and it runs off 3,7V accu.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BTW ! :D
There are videos of my laser:
DVD burner laser burns hole in white paper and ignites red matches - YouTube
DVD burner laser burns various objects (ignites firework and cuts match in a half/slices duct tape) - YouTube
This laser outputs nearly 300mW/650nm with standard acrylic Aixiz lens. The...
Hello :D
I want to show you my laser engraving pen which can write on dark plastic and wood. This idea came me when I saw my 780nm laser diodes lying around which I salvaged out from DVD burners. The advantage of 780nm is the human eye almost isn't sensitive to this wavelength, but is dangerous...
I want to show you my DVD laser. It's made from cheap 9 LED 3xAAA OEM flashlight and Lite-On Short Closed Can diode. Collimator has variable focusing and is made from metal part from VHS tape recorder. Lens is acrylic and came from 1Euro laser pointer - it's cheap but it works :D. Power source...
Hello! :D
I want to show my little 150mW Blu-Ray laser. It contains acrylic lens and custom made heatsinking collimator. It was made from cheap OEM flashlight bought in builder shop. I snipped out the Blu-Ray logo in the flashlight with razor-blade. It's powered by 3xAAA 1,5V batteries and...
Hello, I'm from Poland and I'm 18 years old :yh:
I'll want to meet some people from this forum.
In my country lasers are unfortunately hard to find :/ Especially high power laser diodes.. The only way I can get laser diodes/or modules is internet auction. In my small town (about 50 000...
