i dont have a spec sheet for these diodes so need a little help.
which is + and which is -??

Diode help?

I guess they arrived then Andy
Normally diodes are + to case and - to other pin (that is shorted) but this trend has been bucked by the DVD diodes but I would guess this one will be case +

If you need to ask the question 'whats so good about a laser' - you won't understand the answer.

yes they did arrive, which is good.
i thought this but wanted to double check as ive never used a 2 pin diode before and didnt know if anything was different.
cheers rob

If you ever want to find out that on diodes where no-one can tell you directly, shine a flashlight into it. (Or a laser with a wavelength shorter than the unknown diode emits). The laser diode will act like a photodiode, and you can measure the polarity on a voltmeter. I tested this the other day. It works. Just make sure you don't connect to the actual photodiode, if there is one, else things can get confusing.

Thank you for the picture, it really helps me visualize the lasorb (if that is what is attached).Originally Posted by andy_con

Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

nope thats not a lasorb, that diode is a 9mm can.
ill post a pic of diode and lasorb later

thats a jumper to create a dead short for protection

I stand corrected, I thought that the lasorb was grey from the video posted by Mr. Benner in the development stage. For a moment I was excited that it would fit in a aixiz module, I guess Pat needs to mill a new diode module for us!

what kind of diode is this ?
Do not look into laser with remaining eye
Need laser repair contact me !!!!!!

that could be anything between 635nm and 1550nm ^^
would go for 808nm though, as they are easily obtainable
