Although... here's something that'll bring some smiles to your faces...
I decided to test another diode to explosion... I ordered another diode from them yesterday... A nice bill later, and it's on it's way in a 3 day trip to me...
So... I would assume that seeing some new data about these soon is not a far-fetched assumption

What will be your test protocol for this one? Please do a non-TEC test, as they are rarely used for non-dpss lasers. Once you do a ramp, at 3 or 5 mA increments, you will be able to see the point where the efficiency has a dip (sometimes slight, sometimes pronounced). Choose an operating point slightly below this and run the diode for a few days. If it lasts, it should be good enough for pointer use at that operating point.

While we're all waiting I have a question. Whats a safe current to run these at compared to the senkat diodes? I guess more specifically, what would you say is an appropriate resistance to use in the DDL regulator circuit?
I ask because I have a senkat diode breadboarded up right now with four AAA batteries and 5 ohms of resistance (in the DDL circuit) and my voltmeter broke and I don't know how much current it's putting out, just that it's the right amount for a senkat diode. But these Phazor diodes are supposed to run at a much higher current correct? So what do you think I can use in place of the 5ohm resistor?
(or should I just buy a new voltmeter and save myself the trouble :)
Thanks!
