I come for your knowledge of lasers and burning! I mean, hi...I'm new
It looks like there are a lot of good guides on building burning lasers here. I have a bunch of broken dvd burners, so maybe I can make them do something cool.

LarryQ, I have two sony 16X dual layer! Does the dual layer mean an even more powerful diode or is that more based on the speed. Is there a way to look up what sort of diode a particular model of burner uses?
No, the IR diode of a cd burner is not powerfull enough to burn anything AFAIK.
Besides that IR safety goggles seem to be expensive (compared to green or red goggles)
