Determining the laser diode pinout.
Dvd player 4 pin laser diode pinout.
Hi i got a dvd player at an auction in fully working condition for 10.
These types of laser diodes produce an invisible beam at or around a wavelength of 780nm which is in the near infrared spectrum.
Laser pointed out the window.
See figure 7 for the area of the near infrared spectrum.
However the most common laser diodes can be found in cd rom and cd players.
Instead i have a 4 pin diode of unknown wavelength color and power.
4 pin laser diode.
But the laser diode has 4 pins instead of the usual 3.
Beam incident on the wall.
Stay tuned for the next video and feel free to ask questions i.

This is how the bare laser diodes look like 5 6mm.
So since i already had one i decided to remove the insides and extract the laser diode within.
Comparison with laser diode f laser 5mw with power 5mw from gme.
I used the current 48 ma maximum is 50 ma.
One of them has an arrow pointing out but none of the others have labels.
I salvaged a laser diode from a broken dvd player.
It can be seen that 5mw laser beam is even weaker than the side beams of dvd rw laser.
I did so expecting to have just a normal 50 200mw 3 pin red diode.
What pin does what.
