Re: $5 mystery diodes
looks like there could be a possibility that these are blue!? very interested.

Re: $5 mystery diodes
c-mount is *usually* only for high power though. so these could potentially be over 1W. but for $5 a piece i doubt that very much.

Re: $5 mystery diodes
These have been advertised for a long time.. No specs.
The seller puts in crap like " DPSS, Green etc etc" to attract flies
If they are 808, the price would be MUCH higher.

Re: $5 mystery diodes
they could be 808 or even visible red, but what it more likely is that they are longer wavelength IR. Probably 1200+nm and as far as power goes, I'd be willing to bet they are at least 4 or 500mW

Re: $5 mystery diodes
I'd agree with the 1200nm and up idea - probably intended for fibre communications or something like that.
They might be pretty powerful - at leat the 5 bond wires suggest they deal with a fair amount of electrical current. Getting any idea of 'normal' current and power levels would probably require destroying several, but if you get a 20 pack for $99 it might be worthwhile?

Re: $5 mystery diodes
I was thinking a similarity to these, minus the extra goodies they come with

Re: $5 mystery diodes
If that's the case then these would be worth it a $5 a piece. 500mW of any laser light is worth $5! The only problem for most would be goggles.heruursciences said:They are 835nm at 500mw for fiber coupled platesetter diodes

Re: $5 mystery diodes
We can get them from psudonomen137 (I spelt it right, right?) for $85
DO A GROUP BUY!

nope it's pseudo, and also DL has them for $30

DL's goggles aren't certified, and after what they've done in the past I wouldn't trust those goggles. Plus, their description scares me:

The ones Pseudo offers protect against 808nm, I'm not sure about 835nm.

Meh. Close enough... If not we can get some from OEM that protect against broadband IR
