Well, I built my first blu-ray 405nm laser :D, and it works very well... using ddls circuit at 32ma's, off 8aa nimh cells. Also, I should add that Ddl did the hard part by extracting these diodes, and soldering wires to them, then putting them in aixiz modules for me, I really appreciate that! :)

Oh man! it is very pretty! :eek: I love blue, its my favorite color, and most white stuff looks blue! :D in the vid, I had it aimed at some flourescent orange paper. I cant wait till these are available in a higher power diode! :D :D

Disma --

You rat !! How dare you post before we all get our diodes ;D ;D ;D

They are an interesting color and will focus to almost nuthin' for power !

Glad you got yours working. THat current should be pretty safe around 6 mW.

Congrats ---

Mike

lol I soooo want a blu-ray, just to worried i'll screw it up :-/ LOL Greg helped me wt my DIY red, he put the diode in a aixiz module, hooked it up to a driver, stuck some batteries in, and stuck it in a nice box. I did the rest, putting new batteries in and focusing it LOLOLOLOL ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well I'd hate to make another thread and call it "yet another blu-ray laser" so I am just going to jump aboard this one and see if maybe we can put some more of these daedal GB blu-ray experiments on this thread. I got off of work really late tonight so I didn't have to much time to assemble and photograph this one so I left out the scary looking circuitry and just took some gratuitas beam shots.

Yobresal, those are awesome shots!  :D Does the beam show up that good with long exposures? Also what current is your diode running at?
I figured Id play it safe seeing how many diodes have died.   :-X
Thanks everyone for the compliments. I still cant believe someone had one die from the static of changing the batterys! :eek:

The beam doesn't look super bright in person like it does in the camera but it does appear bright with a lot of smoke in the air. I didn't need to use long exposures because of the camera's natural ability to enhance the UV light. My multimeter is acting kind of schitzo but when it isn't jumping around  I am getting a reading of 28ma.

Hmm, I thought sure u were running it higher than that! :)
Awesome, I wish I had a good dig cam to take some cool pics with.

dang very nice! i just finished building a very, very nice diy red using senkat's diode, and im rearing for another challenge! i think a blu ray laser project is just what the doctor ordered!
