I'm looking to dissect sed drive and build myself a laser pointer type thing. I'm experienced with electronics and taking things like this apart, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I am really new to lasers. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this forum, it looks like you guys can get me pointed in the right direction.
Can anyone give me some detailed information on this diode? Does anyone have experience with it?
Where can I find a driver for it, or info on haw to build one.
What would it take to get all three lasers in it running (CD, DVD, and BR)? It would be neat to be able to switch, especially to IR for night vision applications. Would this require a separate driver for each? I'm assuming they wouldn't need separate optics because they are already used together in the drive.
Thanks for any help!
