Weird laser diode?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm looking for a diode for a DIY project and found this one. It looks like it's cut in half, so my question is can I just use it as a normal diode in an Aixiz module? :thanks:

That will work fine, those are just laser diodes without a can around them, I have several of that same type, no problems using a Aixiz type module if you buy the right one for its size.

Here's another diode which is higher power than that one, the LPC840. They are selling the LPC836 and LPC840 together in this listing for less cost:

Also, Techhood has a reputation for honesty in his listings, laserlands not so much.

Thanks!

Welcome, I'm in Anchorage.

Edit: I should add, because of the wavelength, the lower power diode you asked about will appear brighter than the LPC840, so maybe better to go with 635-638nm if that is what you want.

I have seen you say this probably ten times, why do you keep on saying this!? (it makes me sick to the stomach!)
It is not true, they ripped me off, search for posts through that 'feedback' or 'reputation' thread or whatever here on techhood
