What kind of diode is this???

[5v1i5v0]

Sled came out of an LG GH22NS30:thinking:

Also can/should it be harvested? Pin-out? Optic requirements?

Been searching but only found some new brick walls, and of course 15,000,017 new projects to explore.

Thanks, and thanks, in advance.

Larry DFW has just started doing some research on these

He may have some info for you

Thank you, I think that link will be very helpful indeed.

I tested one of these a while back. Only got like 100mw out of it. Anyway. Hopefully that's no longer the case. That is similair to what they call an A-mount laser diode i believe.

Kinda similair

Is it then an IR? The 2nd diode from the sled is definitely a red, a nice bright one.
