Copier diode

[tatman]

Harvested a laser diode out of a copier that broke. The sticker said "Class 3B laser device" Would any of you have an idea of it's wavelength and potential mw output? I think I may have a driver around to power it up...but I'll wait and see what you all might think.

Thank you, guys. It seems like it may be worthwhile.
