Yes i know that you need 20x cd burners to get high bower buring lasers, but if i got a cd rom will i be able to get a 5mw laser out of it? And a 5mw IR laser? Just wondering...

Thanks

Well, you won't be getting both.

CDs use 780nm IR and DVDs use ~650nm red.

yes even ps3 is still just a bluray reader. You wont get much power unless you have a drive designed to burn disks

My link? No. They're ~660 (the exact WL varies, but with this what does it matter?) and IR. Mainly just to practice soldering.

The ones from Modwerx are 635. Still red, but more orange and more visible.
