Harvesting A 6x SF-AW210 Blu-Ray Diode - Laser Pointer Forums

bobhaha · 12-04-2009, 11:37 AM

Continuing on with Moh's work! Here is how I harvest my 6x SF-AW210 diodes!

BTW at the end I'm pulling the two sides away from each other then I slightly twist it and snaps right off! Also remember to do this over some soft material like a scrunched shirt, so you don't drop the diode on the floor

Nice video. but the SF-AW210 isn't a 6x blu ray laser diode.

Awesome bob! i get my SF diodes from modwerx so they come already harvested

i've got the videos for the GGW's BR and red diodes...just need to edit them all together...hardest part with those is getting them out of the damn sled!

Last time I harvested a LD, I filed down two slots in the heatsink, and then pulled both apart with two pairs of pincers. Suddenly two pieces of metal flew away, and in one pair of pincers I was left with an undamaged , and extracted LD.

I was lucky.

With a pair of nippers and a pair of small needle nose pliers, they pop out in seconds. The nippers then allow you to remove the diodes from their heat sinks in seconds also.

the SF-AW210 aren´t 6x?? or are they 6x but not consistent in results?

ok.. Im thinking of doin a 6x...even though my PHR hasnt even arrived...and i dunno if to pick a ggw and go for insurance, or go to aw210 and take the risk...
i could even get a freak...but...for now ill stick to my PHR...waiting for it to arrive (damnit...its taking toooo long...i want it sooo badly!)

BuildAbluraylaser · 12-07-2009, 11:23 PM

If you pick a Aw210, then run is at 170mA.

You should get 160mW.

LordKaramazov · 12-08-2009, 02:00 PM

because id really like to do that on a MXDL 3405 but....i havent done my PHR...bah!

LordKaramazov · 12-08-2009, 05:09 PM

BTW what optics do the sf-aw210 sleds have?? do they have the dichros like the PHR and a PBS cube??

and what does DT means?

Bluefan · 12-08-2009, 05:52 PM

I don't see any shorting pins in the vid, I think with static electricity sensitive diodes it's best to put a jumper over the two power pins when not connected to anything. I don't know how much this makes a difference, but I do it anyway just to be sure.

LordKaramazov · 12-09-2009, 02:15 AM

Found out DT means Diode Thread...i guess...as i saw u say in a review "Add this to RT", i suppose it was for review thread...

So?? No one?? id relly like to know...and the GGW as well if u people wouldnt mind of course

Thanks,
José

The GGW has 3 polarizing cubes. 2 big, one small.

LordKaramazov · 12-14-2009, 01:41 AM

so it looks like no one knows about the SF-AW210.
