Laser Diode where else can i get a laser diode besides a dvd burner and stuff expensive like that?
i dont want to take apart some thing like a dvd burner to get a laser diode so what is something cheep or something commen i could take apart to get a laser diode.
ya for a high powered laser pointer
you could probly find them online but why do you want a laser diode?
is it for a high powered laser pointer?
Laser Diode Microsystems provides the reader with the basic knowledge and understanding required for using semiconductor laser diodes in optical microsystems and microoptical electromechanic systems. This tutorial addresses the fundamentals of semiconductor laser operation and design, coupled with an overview of the types of laser diodes suitable for use in Microsystems, along with their distinguishing characteristics. Emphasis is placed on laser diode characterization and measurement as well as the assembly techniques and optical accessories required for incorporation of semiconductor lasers into complex microsystems. Equipped with typical results and calculation examples, this handon text helps readers to develop a feel for how to choose a laser diode, characterize it and incorporate it into a microsystem.

This book basically gives the over view about The properties of erbiumdoped fiber amplifier (EDFA) such as gain and noise figure have been studied. By determining the characteristics of the 980nm, 1480nm 1550nm laser sources and ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) at the output of the amplifier used to determine the gain and noise figure of EDFA. This model allows to follow the signal (1550nm), pump (980nm) and ASE as they propagate along the fiber and determine population inversion .The both forward and backward propagation ASE are important in determining the overall gain and noise figure. For the amplification of more than 80 channels the DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) has required CBand (15251565)nm and LBand (15651610)nm EDFA.We show that a flat gain spectrum can be achieved in the range from 1565 to 1610 nm when the EDF length, pump power and pump configuration are appropriately chosen. Special care must be taken when selecting the EDF length.

In this book, the design of InGaN LDs structures including multi quantum wells (MQWs) active region device are described and investigated by integrated system engineering technology computer aided design (ISE TCAD) device simulator. The parameters of the LDs structures are varied and optimized for high performance. This optimization study involves aspects such as thickness of active region, doping, thickness of stopper layer region, thickness of quantum wells and quantum barriers, number of quantum wells and several approaches to improve and achieve high efficiency, low threshold current and high output power of InGaN LDs. The basic LDs structures treated here are FabryPerot type InGaN double heterostructure (DH), separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) and multi quantum wells (MQWs).High performance LD has been obtained by using multi quantum wells incorporated with the optimized parameters. The lowest threshold current, higher external quantum efficiency and characteristic temperature are obtained when the number of InGaN well layers is two, at our laser emission wavelength of 415 nm, which is related to the problem of inhomogeneous carrier.

Enterococc faecalis considered to be the mostresistant bacteria of the root canal, in the presentstudy we used two types of root canal disinfectant toshow their effect on this type of bacteria, the firstis the diode laser and the second NaOCl solution withspecial concentrations and times. the study conductedon human decoronated extracted teeth, adjusted with13mm root length, filled with a suspension of E.faecalis, Samples were divided into 14 groups eachgroup consisted of 10 prepared roots, sixty sampleswere irrigated with NaOCl solution at differentconcentrations (0.5, 2.5 and 5.25) at twoselected times (2 minutes and 5 minutes) for eachconcentration.Sixty samples were irradiated at different powers (2W, 2.5W and 3W); each power at thetotal irradiation time 30 and 60 seconds. Whencomparison was made between NaOCl irrigant and diodelaser in a combination among differentconcentrations, powers and times the result showedthat 5.25 NaOCl at both 2 minutes and 5 minutes hadthe highest antimicrobial effect with no significantdifferences from 3W laser / 10 sec (6 cycles) butsignificantly different from 3W / 5 sec (6 cycles).

How to get the Diode from a DVD Burner
How do I use the laser diode taken from a DVD burner?
I took a CD/DVD burner apart (from an old drive that was broken, not the laser though obviously). I found instructions at http://www.felesmagus.com/pages/lasers-howto.html so I decided to do the same and simply connect 2 AAA batteries to the diode I took out (in fact there were two, one at 780nm for the CD, and 650nm for the DVD). I compared both diodes with the diode taken from a CD burner, and thus figured out which one was the DVD diode.
I connected it with 2 cables to two (in series) AAA batteries...but I only get a very weak beam from it. When I collimate it with a lens it is slightly less powerful than the average 1mW red laser pointer. The guy on the website has a video on there which shows a fairly powerful diverging beam that melts through thin black plastic. How is this possible?
When he says he connects it to a 3vdc source does he mean a different source than 2x 1.5V AAA batteries?
Are there any better instructions out there? Nothing useful was found on google. Thanks!
2 aaa batteries are not enough, to provide enough amperes (or milli amperes in this case) try using NI-CD or NI-MH rechargeable batteries or provide the 3Volts DC from a transformer. usually the average AAA battery delivers less than 100 mA which is not enough for a laser diode
