Blu Ray Laser Diode Driver

The isl58797 is a highly integrated single supply laser diode driver designed to support multi standard writable optical drives in cd dvd and blu ray formats at various speeds.

Blu ray laser diode driver.

These units have diodes with a power output of 150 milliwatts mw or better. It is a hybrid part having an interface compatible with a conventional ldd but an internal architecture similar to a write strategy ldd. This step up driver board works from 3 5v input and steps up the output voltage to suit 405nm blu ray laser diodes. How to make a high power burning blueray laser.

Now onto the first pic. The diodes are professionally extracted from replacement sleds for the bdr 209 blu ray disk burners so the pins will be a few mm shorter than a diode direct from. Obtain an old dvd or blu ray writer. Look for a unit with a writing speed of 16x or faster.

A dvd writer has a red diode with a wavelength of 650 nanometers nm. After you have removed the laser mount you need to scrap away the remaining glue and using a small jewelers screwdriver gently i mean gently tap around the edge of the diode housing to free it from the mount. The laser diode can actually contains three laser diodes emitting at 780 660 and 405 nm for cd dvd and blu ray respectively. You are dealing with very high power lasers that will blind anyone in under half a secound if shined into your eyes or anyone elses eyes.

The blu ray diode is pretty easy to locate. All modules are tested and are in working condition prior to shipping. These are connected in a ccc common cathode can configuration. 200mw 1100mw red green blue ir laser diode power driver circuit 5v w ttl parameters wavelength 200nm 1100nm working voltage 5vdc working current 250ma.

I do offer a boost laser driver that is capable of driving this diode off a single li ion see my other offerings. There are 2 screws to remove and a small ribbon cable that needs to be cut off. A blu ray writer has a blue diode with a wavelength of 405 nm.
