Hi, I'm was planning on making a laser from a DVD burner but I don't know which laser module I need to buy. I have looked around and they all seem to already have diodes in. Will a diode from a DVD burner fit in any module?
Thanks

The diode must be pressed into an Aixiz module, 5pcs 12*30mm Focusable Adjustable Housing/Shell for 5.6mm TO-18 TO18 Laser Diode | eBay
The better modules are made of copper.

This module with diode can be used for a laser build. Any heatsink with 12mm bored will fit.

Yes, he does ship to UK. I got my copper modules from him and I am in Belgium.
