Never, really NEVER look into the laser beam!

My dad’s USB DVD burner is crapping out, so he bought a new one. So I took this one apart and plugged it in and turned it on to see what it looked like on the inside when a disc was in it ^^ This is the second video.

200mW red laser!!
self explanatory realy i show you how to get the laser diode out of a phillips 16x dvd burner
Considering holding a competition for some random music if you have anythoughts
YOU CANNOT USE A CD CDRW or DVD ROM THEY WILL NOT WORK!

It’s the same laser as in the first video,I just made myself an aluminum casing for it so it actually looks like a laser pointer.
around 75-100 mW I guess, 650 nm wavelength
Enjoy!

My little science project, turn a DVD burner into a portable laser unit which can burn things

This is stage 1, tuning the laser @ low current and try to pop a balloon..
Laser on 3 volt AA batteries, current 130 milli amps, pot meter resistance 270 ohm

Stage 2 is light a match and pop balloons instantly at a fraction of a second.

Laser diode comes from an 18 speed nec dvd burner. I’ve put a description on the laser community forum: http://www.lasercommunity.com/viewtopic.php?p=111838#111838
