It might be the diode used by Olympus in their fluorescent imaging scanners, which could certainly be a Nichia. If someone has a contact in Olympus, it might be worth checking out. Otherwise, there's nothing to do but to wait for a test.

Why would it be that exact diode? I don't understand. :-?

Wow I just read the whole post. :p I am hoping these are comparable to the 6X.

IgorT you say you have a good feeling about these. Do you think they will match the GGW-H20L 6x Sleds? I know you haven't done any testing, but your intuition seems to serves you well! Lol! ;D

Well, Susie was very cooperative, told me everything i wanted to know, the story checked out, and....

Today i got this tiny litte envelope with the mail. It contained a tray meant to hold 100 diodes. The tray was sealed in an ESD protection bag by the factory, as i requested. The factory is a laser show manufacturer, which has nothing to do with Susie directly. She just found their diodes and negotiated the purchase of a sample for me... ;)

Susie declared it exactly as i asked, and included an "invoice" i sent her, meant to prevent our customs from getting too excited. The package was opened, but they stopped at the invoice. They get scared when they read [highlight]ESD sensitive devices! Observe proper handling procedures![/highlight] ;D


And then it was time for some photos...

The barcode looks familiar, but it's not identical to any of the usual suspects...

At first i thought it could be the 6x. But that barcode is different as well.. It will take a detailed analysis, to find out more. A full P/I/V plot will be very revealing!


But let's just say, it's looking real good so far... ;)


It's possible that this is a completelly new diode. But it is interesting how they are all marked the same way. Could they all come from Nichia?

In any case, i believe it will make a REALLY good laser.. For scientific purposes of course.. ::)

Yeah, it's beautiful. A virgin diode, no scratches no solder, long pins..

What i wouldn't do for a full tray..  ;D


Another macro, showing the barcodes in more detail.

Cann't wait to find out about this "Top Secret" "Unkonw" Diode. [smiley=bath.gif]

Yeah, i can't wait to test this baby! I have no doubts it's a good diode. But there is a lot to be learned from it!

And it will make a nice laser too...  But i'm doing it for science, obviously...  ::)

The barcodes differ on every diode. They are serial numbers.
