High all I have For sale 2 sets of laser diodes from a 16X DVD burner.
Each Set includes 1 red and 1 IR diode.
Asking 15.50$ shipped for EACH set, Plus paypal fee.

I am running one at 300ma no problems at all.

PM me if your interested

* Since laser diodes are very sensitive I send them out in working condition But are sensitive to alot of things so all
sales on diodes are final.*

Capitalizing on your recent purchase I see, though this is still a very nice deal I must say.

good luck,

Nice deal there toked, may be interested since I'm considering to make my first DIY laser soon.

sk8er: I don't think 300mA is too high for a 16x. I'm also curious about the output at that current. It should be over 200mw though, if I'm not seriously mistaken.

Whats the power and wavelength of that lil IR diode, and what current shall you use for it? It would be nice to have a cheapy IR laser that could burn a little bit.

300mA is high for some 16x diodes, but we do push SenKat's new 16x diodes to over 400mA without problem.

That IR diode has a wavelength of around 780nm and a power around 60mW-80mW. 100mA is about the max you want to push that to without dying, people have pushed them much higher though.

I run most of my diodes at 300ma, Senkats old ones, some Rohms, and some 12X burners also.
