Pioneer 8X Blu-Ray-- BDR-203

[FrancoRob]

Quantile:

Ok, datasheet updated.

 

[Hemlock_Mike]

Wow -- That's a hot one Beats mine a bunch.

[Hemlock_Mike]

I took mine to 365 mA tonight for about 10 seconds.  Just for a comparison with Dave's data.  477 mW.  That's all  :'(    I peaked at 510 but dropped to 477.
Understand that there will be wide variance in readings because of new diode technology and YMMV ----  your meter may vary !!!
477 still ain't bad  ;D

Mike

Also, I pointed out that mine has a hairline crack in the window. It causes a very minor spill in my beam. Anyone decan one of these yet ?? I'm thinking about it.

If your willing to take the chance of breaking a diode worth over 200 USD go for it!

This is called Research and Reverse Engineering.... (you don't seem to have a clue as to
what certain members do or the sacrifices that they make for the good of the community)..

You can't make a perfect omelet without breaking a few eggs...

Unless you have the Data Sheets for this new 405nm 8X Laser Diode... Do you... :-? :-?

GooeyGus has a can opener... I dunno if I'd risk putting it in the mail though :-/

Below the first result of my diode with the wonderful Jayrob lens :

I/mA       P/mW
200         329
210         348
220         363
230         382
240         401
250         415
260         426

Below the first result of my diode with the Jayrob magic lens  :

I/mA       P/mW
200         329
210         348
220         363
230         382
240         401
250         415
260         426

It's not magic...
It's pure physics/photonics!

Jay --
I will make an extender on my lathe. *It's too hard to adjust the focus with that G1 lens while it's on. *My fingers get too hot *;D *Others might appreciate the extention.

Mike

Check this out Mike! It works great for really nice focusing and control for Kryton lovers...

426 mW at only 260 mA ??? Not only a magic lens but a magic diode.

Beats mine all to hell

intro74 has the Sony diode. BWU-300S...

I believe he is the only one so far that has bought one of the Sony 8X drives. Makes you wonder if they are all as 'HOT' as his!

Jay

They're not available anywhere anymore for less than $350 though...

 

[lasersbee]

IIRC... I think he paid around $400.00 for that BWU-300S 405nm Blu-Ray LD..

[intro74]

You're right I paid around $400.00 but the price seems to be less expensive now

Like anything else... I think the first PHR803T Blu-Ray was taken out of a $350.00
brand new DVD burner... now we can pick up a Sled for $8.00...

But don't forget we still need the brave pioneers like you and Dave... and all the rest..
to break the trail wide open...
