Can you make a laser driver circuit from a dvd burner

Next part is the laser, if you took a DVD RW drive u can use laser diode from it for this project, just make a simple driver, I also have a video about it. I'm going to use a w nm laser module that I made in this video. Of course for a long time work we need to cool down the laser, for DVD it's may be enough just a little piece of aluminum, but in my case I need active www.doorway.ruted Reading Time: 5 mins. If you have got old laptop or DVD drive you can use laser diode to make laser pointer and in case that you have correct lens it can even burn small things. Estimated Reading Time: 2 mins.

- The DVD-ROM drives (reading only) can only offer you a weak red diode like 1mW. they are good only to produce pointers or very faint laser-light show. They won't burn or cut anything. - In the CD-RW / DVD-ROM combos (drive that burns CD and only reads DVD) you can find burning infrared diode and weak red diode (as in DVD-ROM). Step 1: Materials. 2 More Images. what we are going to need is. 1 laser diode (you could hack it out of a dvd drive) x1. 2 10uf 16v capacitor or 10uf 63v capacitor x1. 3 1n diode x1. 4 10 ohm resistors x2. 5 ohm variable resistor x1. 6 lm voltage regulator x1. Welcome to my tutorials. In this video, I'll be showing you how to build a mW blue laser pointer! Scroll down for video www.doorway.ru Credits:These tra.

A laser diode is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing. In this tutorial I show you how to make a DVD burning laser only using hard to get and expensive) and a driver circuit (to make this you. What is the "driver circuit" that you made? Well basically DVD burner diodes can be of two types, short and long die.
