Re: Blu-Ray Diode Test Current Levels for Long Life
I too, have noticed the higher efficiency of the Sanyo SF-AW diode,
compared to the GGW.
It also shows no "kinks" compared to the GGW.
This should enable it to deliver similar power, but many times it doesn't.
My guess is the diode will deliver 200mw on your test rig with the same heatsink.
Sanyo rates it @ 200mw pulse power (graph in post #25)
Surely, it can handle that level.

From the limited experience i had with them and what i heard, they don't seem to be as tough as the old GGWs were.. 200mW might be too much for them, 170mW would be the minimum i would hope to get reliably, but might yield "too much" time. Or not.. They are really strange, their average efficiency much higher than that of old GGWs, they should have a 100mW CW/200mW Pulsed power rating, but somehow i don't trust them as much.
I'll probably set it in the middle and see what happens. I predict this test will be over before the 12x arrives...
