SF-AW210 6x BluRay Laser Diode SLED
This Sled contains the famous 6x BluRay Laser Diode!

This is for one SF-AW210 6x BluRay Laser Diode optical pickup SLED.  It contains a 405 nm laser diode, and other optics. The laser diode is mounted in a small aluminum bracket with wires as shown.  The diode with aluminum mounting bracket is easy to remove from the optical pickup.  The mounting bracket is made of very brittle metal, and can easily be broken in half using two pairs of wire cutters.  Both the violet, and Red/IR laser diodes are in standard 5.6mm metal cases

The 405 nm laser diode contained in the SF-AW210 is well known for High Power up and beyond 200-250mW!  It is a favorite of Laser Enthusiasts.

The optical pickups also contains many potentially useful optics In addition to the 405nm diode, the SF-AW210 (6X) sleds have a 16X red diode in them. This red diode is a LONG CLOSED CAN diode. They are very similar to the LONG OPEN CAN red diode that we get from the LPC sleds. this LONG CLOSED CAN red diode is capable putting out 250mW + at 500mA!

You get 3 burning diodes in every sled!

Use care when handling the diodes to avoid damage from static, reverse voltage, or excessive current.

  Appropriate laser eye protection should also be used.
