Pretty sure the ir is for reading and the red is for writing.

thanks again fiddy!
@kizdawg - yeah, it would put out 2 beams, no "addition". there's a pic of both sides running here: 250mW 350mW 200mW Dual Wavelength 3 8mm Laser Diode 650nm 780nm Dual Band | eBay
it's near the bottom of the page

one very cool thing (i think) is that the 780 is single mode - no big multimode"bar" to tame. it makes a nice spot.

Yes 780nm at arounf 150-200mW are used in CD burners, 650nm are used in CD readers. They're usually both single mode and its not unusual to find them both in one package.

The 780nm is for CD and the 650nm is for DVD.

780 is for cds, 660 for dvds, 405 for blu-ray. lowering the wavelength is a cheap trick to fit more data in the same area by allowing it to write with smaller and smaller resolution. This is the same reason why chip fab at really really low feature sizes uses a very low wavelength UV as the source light for "etching" the chips.
