You're a man of the polished hosts I see.
The Pioneer BDR-206 has one in it. This site sell them
Pioneer BDR-206 12x Laser Sled with 500mW 405nm Laser Diode
I know there are other sources but I forgot who else has them.
I don't think it's a bdr-206 diode guys. I think it's the new 3.8mm out of the lg "14x"
:shhh:
I can tell you for sure the 3.8mm diodes Lazeerer got are not the BDR-206 3.8mm 405's. They are a completely different beast altogether. I have tested quite a few of the 3.8mm 405's from the 206 and got no better average efficiency out of them and they all LEDed before the S06J's. If they had been better I was planning on switching but it did not turn out that way so I stuck with the 5.6mm version. I even went back and tried again after Lazeerer found that diode. The 3.8mm diodes Lazeerer got from the data shared with me are very efficient in comparison and act much like the 445's when given too much current. They dim as apposed to LED and this happens well over 1W. Then you turn it back down and it comes back to life. We are all hoping that he can get some more.
I have to say that is an amazing laser. One for the all time greats. Congrats on that amazing unit and for snagging one of those diodes from Lazerer.

Do you know of a 14X drive sports a 3.8mm diode? If so I would want to do some testing but the only one I know of has a 5.6mm diode. There is a teardown thread on a 14X drive that I did. The diode showed the exact same efficiency of the S06J, had identical markings and was a 5.6mm just like the S06J. I am pretty confident to say at least with that driver the only thing they upgraded was the software/hardware to be able to burn @ 14X speeds.
