New high power 405nm diode?

[daguin]

Work done. Or rather, the post office is closed..

Time to play!  [smiley=evil.gif]

IgorT -- "SLAVE!"

slave -- "Yes master?"

IgorT -- "RAISE THE LIGHTNING ROD!!!!!"

slave -- "yes master"

IgorT -- "BWAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa............. . . . . . "

<cue lightning strike>

slave -- <screaming> AAAYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

IgorT -- "SLAVE!"

slave -- "y-y-y-yes   m-m-m-master?"

IgorT -- "RAISE THE OPERATING PLATFORM!!!!"

<cue sounds of clanking chains>
<cue multiple lightning strikes>

IgorT -- "SLAVE!"

slave -- "yes master"

IgorT -- "LOWER THE PLATFORM!"

Slave -- "yes master"

<cue clanking chains>
<cue off focus moaning>

IgorT -- "BWAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa............. . . . . . "

IgorT -- "IT IS ALLLLIIIIIVVE!!!!!"

<cue music cressiendo>
<cue a knock on the door>

IgorT -- WTF!?!

ok dave KicKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

 

[FireMyLaser]

That made my Christmas eve LOL! ;D

It's Christmass?!?!  

Is that why the post office closed at 3 PM?!?


OMFG, when did this happen?!? No one told me! :-/

Santa, your red nose is showing!

As per your sig line, I'm requesting a blu-ray with "higher powers" - so how about it?
;-)

 

[IgorT]

Your higher power blu rays are on their way to you...

Shouldn't take them too long since you're in California, where they were shipped from yesterday..



As for the Nichia diode, i'm plotting it now...

It's this new thing callled Christmas,not many people have cought onto it yet.

I'm still pretty new to it myself.

 

[IgorT]

So what does it do?

 

[ska8r411]

So what does it do?

Try wikípedia,I hear they give änswers to many of mankinds greatest quéštions!

 

[IgorT]

Anyway....



OH MY GOD!!!!  

BRB!


EDIT: Sorry, let me rephrase that... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[game-genie]

ChrisTmas?
Datasheet please i can´t believe that ...

Edit: Better Igor? ;D

 

[IgorT]

Chrismas?
Datasheet please i can´t believe that  ...

Are you asking for a Christmass datasheet?


Otherwise, i now know what Christmass means! ;D
And no, i didn't look it up. I'm in Nichia heaven.

You wouldn't be playing with Susie's diode now, would you? :

imagine all the responses to that which I'm not going to post.

meanwhile, Igor is busy figuring out the best way to drive it...

GIVE US A HINT, MAAN!
;D

 

[IgorT]

Ok, so here's the bad news..

The diode is not real... It's UNREAL!!!


I started real slow, but this baby just won't stop! ;D

I did not find a kink yet! The blurbs in the graph are me changing the range on the meter! ;D

It's a straight line, right up to 220mA, which is where i stopped. The power at that point was 230mW. That is 230mW after a PLASTIC LENS!!! Don't yet know how much the raw output is. Still need to test with glass. But i would estimate it to be around 283mW after the custom glass lens, if i judge by a 6x. The raw output is of course even higher than that!


Also, the beam is ROUNDish!


Oh my god! ;D


This is either a really good 6x, or a completelly new diode, possibly even better than a 6x!

Look at the forward voltage! It takes 150mA, just to get to 5V!

Igor will drive it harder,a and harder until it reaches it's first "kink" as he calls it.

It may have been a virgin diode when he started...

Edit:
What, No Kink? :-?
