Drew my sled came today and arrived in perfect condition . I will harvest the diode soon and try it out .
Thanks !!!

It would be helpful if you (and everyone else) keeps record of what you used, the current, etc. We are just beginning to learn about this diode. This may end up being one of the widest and fasted diode experiments in memory. (except for the 4X incident ;) )

yeah i will be making 3. one for me, brew, and unreal, mine and brew's will be at 320mA while unreal's will be at 350mA

I don't know if you are set up to do this. If no, no problems.

I am becoming more interested in whether a diode reacts differently to being "hit" with the full high current on the first burn compared to if the diode was "slowly" ramped up to the high current the first time.

People have noticed that I am very "lucky" with the currents and logevity of my builds. I have begun to wonder if the real reason for my success is that I test the power slope of the diode so that my diodes (especially my "experimental" ones) are slowly brought up to the high current the first time rather than just "hit" with it the first time.

If you could just set the driver on one of the 320mA and slowly crank the power up on the other 320mA (take 30 minutes to get it there) we could "test" this idea.

As I said, if you are not set up to do this (or simply do not have the time) I will still like you ;)

mine too dave i tend not to measure ma and having to resolder a few times
i turn the pot counter clockwise ,then slowly take it up until my dersired
mw reading like 40 mw 80 mw 90 -95,100,110 ect of course i am talikng about 803's but the same rule should apply

oops mine is like 5 minutes total ramp-up time sorry

We applied much of the knowledge we developed for red diodes to these violet diodes. Maybe we need to re-think how we handle these.

BDR-SO3's, from what we know, usually get lower mW outputs than BDR-203's, right? What's the difference between the diodes, different manufacturers?

From my testing I would say that they are most definitely different diodes. The differences lead me to believe that they are, at least, from different manufacturing "runs." We do not know whether they came from different manufacturers or not.

Very interesting. Supposedly some 12x BR burners should be out by Q4 from Sanyo. What driver would be used to drive one of these at 450+ ma?

Since we don't know what the voltage requirment is going to be, the answer to this would be a pure guess.

But is there a driver that can go to 450+ ma? I've seen 440 ma max, but I'm not a driver expert and have not seen all drivers.
