Long closed can diode!

[artix]

I'm not promissing anything... I'm just saying that IF this is THE sled, that is found in the drive commonly referred to as the 6x, then there will be a nice long can red in there.

BTW, that elongated can really looks funky.. It's so unusual to look at, and after that, normal diodes look strange..

I decanned the one, that was shined into a mirror... I would have to compare it to a regular short can 16x diode under a scope to say anything for sure, because naked it doesn't look special.

Igor says that there is a long closed can diode in a 6x sled! (I ordered one W00T!) Does anybody have a picture of this diode? Or can you take a picture, If you have one?

Repz for the pic.

Repz for the first pic.  

Here they are while still in their heat sinks

Peace,

Wait... That isn't your picture! It's Gooeygus's picture!

Do you have a picture of it out of the heat sink?

Those are 6x's. Not the long closed can red...

 

[Spyderz20x6]

Here it is

It is the blu-ray, the red, and the IR diode from the 6X sled

Peace,

[artix]

Here it is

;D That is funky!

Oh...

 

[artix]

Does anyone have a picture showing the diodes in the sled? (So I know which diode is which :)

 

[Switch]

Oh snap, I would like to have money to order that sled. Is the long can a writer diode?

Wow, so we will get 1x >200mW (probably more) violet diode , 1x >250mW closed can diode AND an IR diode. All of that for only 55 bucks...Now thats just crazy.

I can't wait to see how far you push these things. ;D

That's what sold a sled to me. ;D

Just the fact that I can get a 6x blu-ray for $55, sold me. ;D

I was hesitant at first but the dilda-like LD in there justified the purchase for me, because that way if I fry the 6x I only fried a $35 diode instead of a $55 diode. ;D

I know this is off topic but our 6x LDs will be able to burn from really far distances. Correct me if I am wrong but 405nm can be dialed down to lower divergences than 660nm because of the shorter wavelength, so that means longer burning distances!

But also because of the uber-short wavelength, it scatters more or something
I think that is right
