Blu Ray Laser Diode Driver

How to make a high power burning blueray laser.

Blu ray laser diode driver.

The blu ray diode is pretty easy to locate. 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. The laser diode can actually contains three laser diodes emitting at 780 660 and 405 nm for cd dvd and blu ray respectively. Drive current is set with a variable pot on the driver board.

It is a hybrid part having an interface compatible with a conventional ldd but an internal architecture similar to a write strategy ldd. This is a diy guide on how to make your high power burning blue ray laser. These units have diodes with a power output of 150 milliwatts mw or better. 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.

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. These are connected in a ccc common cathode can configuration. I do offer a boost laser driver that is capable of driving this diode off a single li ion see my other offerings. All modules are tested and are in working condition prior to shipping.

A blu ray writer has a blue diode with a wavelength of 405 nm. Obtain an old dvd or blu ray writer. Look for a unit with a writing speed of 16x or faster. Now onto the first pic.

The case is the cathode ve of all three laser diodes as well as the monitor photodiode. This step up driver board works from 3 5v input and steps up the output voltage to suit 405nm blu ray laser diodes. There are 2 screws to remove and a small ribbon cable that needs to be cut off.
