9mm Blue LDs Decanned!

Hey everyone!

Took some time today to take pictures of most common 9mm LDs. Enjoy.

9mm Laser Diode Micro-Shots - Google Drive

Samples:







I will probably add more pics of other diodes if there is demand for it.

The Osram diode is so much better… but looks like the pins got tweaked ? Is this from you bending them to solder the pins for ESD protection? A nice thing about the Osram diode is that is has a zener diode for ESD protection.

Thicker wires from the pins to the laser “cavity platform”, thicker laser “cavity platform” lol

What’s the terminology for all these parts ?

All my future lasers are going to be built with Osram PLPT9-450LB_E diodes only. Is this the 450LB_E? You should clarify cuz there is the 450LB diode that’s 3.5W, right ?

And answer your damn WhatsApp partner

When decanning the non-gball diodes, I sometimes bent the inner leads, its not from bending the pins on the outside.
I have no idea about the terminology lol
This is the LB_E
Lol will do

Those are spectacular photos!
