Re: A DVD diode and some questions about it's abil Ah ok, thanks a lot for those replies. They cleared-up all of my questions and should help me with my next project. I guess choosing the 1x DVD-R burner for my first harvest wasn't the best idea lol.

So I was harvesting a DVD-R diode and it got me wondering about a couple of things.  First of all, this thing must have different modes...one for CD-R, one for DVD-RW, and then DVD-R, etc.  I've heard that CD-R is infrared so you most likely wouldn't see it, but when we power these diodes, we're...

ok great, thanks a lot for the replies.  That does help.  I've tried "tapping" the diode out of the current heatsink but it doesn't seem to be moving.  What have other people done to get the diode out?  I know people use a vice sometimes to get the diode back into the housing.  Too bad the...

Here is the link for the polarity thread, I just had it open: laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1189135730 -Joe

DDL - count me in for 1 diode!  Also, please PM me PayPal info :) PS, is Canada international? lol

Re: Lenses and prisms...(and the axiz module) Not sure if this is of use to anyone, but I took pics of the Axiz diode vs. my DVD-R diode (with heatsink).

A couple questions in one thread.  I bought the Axis module and want to put the DVD-R diode into it, but nobody has mentioned whether or not you put the lens back on the module?  I was also wondering if anyone's left the heatsink on their laser diode?  I know it won't fit the Axiz module...
