3.8mm laser housing?

[VioletBeam]

Are any things you put a laser diode in to focus it like an aixiz BUT not for a 5.6mm but a 3.8mm.

And what could I use to vice it into the housing.


Most people will say "what good laser diode is 3.8mm?", the answer is the 8x blue-ray diode!

First off, the 3.8mm diode is a RED diode in the 8x blue-ray sled.
I'm making some custom adapters for Dave over the next few days.
If you're interested, let me know, and I could whip up another couple...

Sharp is making 3.8mm 8x bluray's for notebooks.

I didn't know that.
But I assume they would be lowered powered than the desktop 5.6mm kinds. (i.e. how far you can push them)
