Well after it pushing 250mW for just under 1hr of on time, I decidid to crank it UP!!! (155-165mA) and we now have a PHR diode at 333mW! yes thats right 333mW!!!
UPDATE: well I just got a peak of....364mW I am not kidding you, that is 364mW peak from a PHR. Longest run time was 70 seconds.
I will keep this updated...

TOTAL ON TIMES!
@90mA-10min
@100mA-3min
@130mA-49min
@ 155-165mA-9:30min
<--- This is where it is now!

Re: PHR zilla!!! 333mW!!!

I'm going to try that out. What's your longest duty cycle so far?

Re: PHR zilla!!! 333mW!!!

It seems your laser and power meter are defective... I will give you 10$ for them both. :p
But seriously thats insane! The only thing I have to say is... Wheres the burning video!?! :evil:

Re: PHR zilla!!! 333mW UPDATE!

I have one too, but am saving it for some unknown reason. Maybe when my GGW dies.

Re: PHR zilla!!! 333mW UPDATE!

Wow, I'll be damned...

I think the most important part of ovedriving is simply good heatsinking...
That Ehgemus host has a diode pocket machined in it's head, right?
No aixiz module, makes a great heatsink.

BUT THIS?!
It beats GGWs so easily.
If you supply 150mA, and get 300mW out of it, with voltage of 5V,
Input powa is around 750mW, output is 300-320mW, that is like,
40-42% Efficiency!!!

Damn! Almoust double than all of other Bluray diodes.

Are you sure this is a PHR diode? I mean, you extracted it yourself?

Re: PHR zilla!!! 333mW UPDATE!

Dustin -- If I were you I'd say "2min duty cycle", and live happier ever after. :) If I were in your place I wouldn't push it any further than that. It's like walking out of the casino with $100 in your pocket. Yeah, you might be able to double that, but.... :)

Awesome, heh.

What the hell, are you sure the meter is calibrated correctly? :S

Grix: It -could- just be a freak diode...

Dustin: Don't blow your freak diode!
