I bought 100 each 5.6mm laser diodes with windows on their cans on ebay hoping they would be something really cool, since the seller didn't know what they were I took a chance at buying them for 100 bucks about 2 years ago. I just now got around to seeing what they are, they appear to be 650nm, perhaps a bit shorter wavelength and produce about 15mw of raw output into a laser power meter. They produce a three striped output, never seen that before, has anyone seen that before? They draw around 120ma.

Hmm sounds very interesting. I'm sure these diode are specifically designed for some lab application. Pictures please!
