@knalert Agreed. I did this once and had a headache for two days afterwards. No blindness yet though thankfully. Looking into ANY laser is abad idea! Looking into lasers >5mw is VERY bad idea and can burn your retinas immediately depending on power output.
You are pumping 4x the rated power, this thing is going to take your eye out. You won't even feel a thing until your lights go out. The most powerful solid state lasers use IR beams to cut and fuse steel, please don't mess with this shit.
how would I go about measuring the lasing capabilities of my various homemade and bought lasers with my isight camera? would I need something to compare it to?
sunglasses? What kind of blindness wish do you have? You might as well go with none at all! IR is not something that is IN the beam, it IS the beam! Don't try to give advice unless you know whats up!
The wave length falls within the 0.7 and 300 micrometres or it doesn't. A your Eyes rods & cones can be damaged by the magnification of UV,IR & The visable Wave lenght. A laser in UV wont Magicly kick of a IR photon just to mess with your Ability to see.
i thought about using a CD burner diode but i heard someone say that it is not a beam and it is like a spray of infrared light. because kipkay said that that wont do anything and wont burn. i dont know but i will try to light a match and wear 2 sunglasses.
I dont recomend using 'Sunglasses', Even good Sunglasses are only ment to help with Sun light that doesn't get blocked by the atmosphere. From someone thats vision is worse from years of welding, Even the right tools will not protect you from wavelenghts that your eyes were never developed to be around.

Lol this is just cool. I have made my first 200mW red DVD laser, and now I have one IR diode from the same sled. I will try it, if it really stings your skin :)
I've picked apart a fair share of units as well, and from experience I can tell you: ALL of my drives used a single diode, aparrently at two distinct current settings, and they COULD burn stuff pretty well, even with no glow, or just a little red glow visible in the can. And yes, I still have my eyes, despite the IR radiation.
Try shining one in an IR enabled camera to see just how strong they can be...
I'm not going to argue further. My facts are 100% correct. How do you explain the video that you have commented on, when it states that it is the IR diode from a DVD burner?
Practically every DVD burner on the market does contain an IR diode capable of burning CDs at 32 - 52x. That diode will put out several hundred milliwatts. Try it yourself with one of the IR diodes from a DVD sled - on a black matte surface, you'll see a nice amount of smoke if focused correctly.
i have working high powered laser diodes like that but im way tooo scared to touch them i mean you could power it up and instantly go blind because the beam is bouncing of something into ur eyes
not really. I depends how long you look in to the beam, and IR lasers are much more dangerous because you will not instinctively blink to protect yourself. And you "burning laser" is not an official classification, it just means it can burn stuff.
As a test.If you used it as an IR illuminator for a camera it would interesting to see what visible range you would get with it. Also the camera would show you how much spread you may get with it.
Nope viele DVD-Brenner haben, Laser, die sich in einem Spektrum, dass das menschliche Auge nicht sehen kann einfach nicht daran erinnern, sich direkt in den Laser!
Nope many dvd burners have lasers that are in a spectrum that the human eye can not see Just remember not to look directly in to the laser!
Eine Infrarot ist 750 nm - 1 mm Spektrum, sondern das menschliche Auge kann nur 380 - 750 nm, so Infrarot liegt direkt am Rand von dem, was das menschliche Auge sehen kann
A Infra red is 750 nm - 1 mm spectrum but the human eye can only see 380 - 750 nm so infra red is right on the edge of what the human eye can see
I had the same problem with a normal red laser diode. U need to limit the current with a resistor of some sort because a normal 3v baterie suply just blows the diode straight away. So srry to tell u this but ur diode is dead and if u power it and point it at a camera you will see that there is barely any light coming out just a tad of purple
Output depends on the Rated current for the diod, Any PWM circuit, and if your overdriveing it or not. Yes it would show up on NV goggles, Hell dont even need that a Digital camra could pick it up even more so if the red IR filter was removed.
Pretty cool! You can sort of see the laserbeam in the smoke, but that's just because most video cameras will record infrared as visible light (point your TV remote at a video camera and push some buttons and you'll see what I'm talking about). This laser won't give you cancer, but it can easily make you blind since you cannot see the beam, and its infrared beam can potentially give you deep-tissue burns. To anyone who wants to put together one of these lasers, be careful!
the laser only becomes visible red at higher frequencies,( 7-13hrz tends to be visible) the default setting on DVD burners is very low and does not burn or cut well at all as you can see he struggled, you should have placed a POT in the circuit would have made the beam "visible" and burned/cut much much better. At a high frequency/voltage ratio a DVD burner's laser can easily cut metal. Any and all lasers can be visible or invisible all depends on frequency.
the diode used to read or write a dvd is visible, the one he is using is likely the CD diode from a combination DVD/CD drive. CD diodes are infrared, and mostly invisible. some people can see the beam but its very dim, DO NOT TRY TO VIEW THE BEAM DIRECTLY!! I would also like to point out that adding a pot in his circuit would have NO effect on the frequency of the light emitted by the diode, that is determined by the makeup of the diode crystal.
@hakanai dam my green laser went infra red when i fiddled with the variable resistor to make it brighter, instead it went very dim red and i could only tell this by shining it right in my eyeball. didnt feel hot.... reken it coulda still fucked my eyes?
The laser beam is the radiation, thats what they are talking about. So if you don't point the laser at yourself then you won't have a problem. There is no other radiation emitted, look up lasing on wikipedia if you don't believe me.

no you cant use it, this video is just a photoshop fake.
...freaking dumbass... of course it can work, why would they build it in a cd player if it wouldnt work, and as long you dont break it you can remove it. mawaii took it from a cheap broken dvd-player with intakt laser. a dollar store laser is not as powerfull
no meddlmoe, ur the dumbass, a CD player WILL NOT work, its not powerful enough, a CD BURNER WILL NOT GIVE YOU ALOT OF POWER, still not powerful enough
A 20X DVD BURNER WILL BURN ANY SHIT U THROW AT IT, IT WORKS
seriously a 54x cd burner has a decent infrared laser, just cause you crap your pants everytime someone starts talking about infra red, does not make the lasers weak. in fact htey're quite entertaining since htey have no VISIBLE beam.
"this video is just a photoshop fake" since when did adobe add video editing to PHOTO-shop? i think youtube needs to start screening members with i-q tests.
nice i think he used the video camera to aim the laser because its invisible. if you have a video camera try this point a tv remote at it and press some buttons
All you have to do is not look into the part of the diode that the IR comes out and you will be fine just because it is invisible doesn't mean its more dangerous if your stupid enough to look into it than you would be stupid enough to look into a visible one.
Not necessarily, it will slowly cause eye damage even if you arent looking directly at the diode since the lasers in dvd burners don't have IR filters, but nowhere near as fast as looking directly at it... like a dumbass, hahaha
It will cause eye damage from specular reflections.Because your eye can't detect them your brain doesn't tell you to look away or to blink, so you're eyes suffer more than from a visible laser.On another note lasers in dvd burners don't have IR filters because the red diodes don't emit IR radiation(and don't need IR filters) and the IR ones emit nothing but IR radiation and having an IR filter would make the emit nothing....
Even dispersed light from a DVD burner laser can permanently damage your eyesight so be very, very careful.
Anyone who tells you that you can only damage your eyes from staring straight into the laser is a fool. Do your homework, the information is avaiable online and extensive.
The poster is using the IR CD read-write laser of a dual laser/single lens optical pickup from a DVD/CD writer. These things have two lasers in one pickup, an IR one for CD and a red one for DVD, which is how you can have one pickup being able to deal with two kinds of discs.
As for risking your eyes, it won't happen unless you stare into the beam.
If you have to ask, you have no business making one. I'm sorry if that sounds condescending, but it's DANGEROUS. And if you really don't know how to do it, then you don't know where the multiple dangers lie.
Well how am I suppose to know if I don't ask,genious? How am I supposed to learn anything?I bet you were just born with it and never had to ask,and so are there hundreds of guys building lasers....And besides that, I know the "multiple dangers" lie in the frickin' light getting in your frickin' eyes, ok? I just didn't know what lens to use....FYI I made a red one 2 weeks ago and my vision is yet to be impaired.
hey if any of u guys could make a vid on how to make these that wud be great im from australia and its hard to get stuff u guys get in the US like prettymuch any cool stuff
That has to be the dumbest thing I've seen. Unless you have pricey IR goggles, you are going to kill your eyes. IR is one of the most dangerous lasers out there, because it has the full eye damaging capabilities of any laser but without visible detection.
Also if I'm not mistaken, DVD burners use red diodes?
White is Black to IR, Basically throw every thing you thought you knew about light out the window, IR is different, It will burn white things more then black
im pretty sure what you said is bullshit....White reflects light of all wavelengths of the visible spectrum, all from violet to red, and black absorbs them.Why the hell would it be different with 808nm? This wavelength is so close to red you can actually see it with your bare eye as a very dim red light, think of it as a very dark red colour.I'm pretty sure radiation of this wavelength acts similar to wavelengths of the visible spectrum.
and an eye opener for the dangers of lasers operating at invisble wavelenghts. I didn't see that coming. the abuse potentials for these types are beyond immagination. say while driving someone shines a beam on the driver, he will not know what hit him, victimised by the nastiest and undetectable prank ever played.
I hope you know that your eyes are being put in great danger. You are using a class IIIb laser. Will cause damage if the beam enters the eye directly. This generally applies to lasers powered from 5--500 mW. Lasers in this category can easily cause permanent eye damage from exposures of 1/100th of a second or less depending on the strength of the laser. Specular reflections can be just as dangerous as direct exposures.
If you don't know the basics of electronics, diodes and lasers, read about it en do some experiments with LED's before you start with this powerfull laser diodes. Your eyes don't like it #)
I need a non-burning IR laser anyone know where I can get one?

can u use the diode from a cd player at all? i dont care how strong it is as long as it can work.

no you cant use it, this video is just a photoshop fake.
...freaking dumbass... of course it can work, why would they build it in a cd player if it wouldnt work, and as long you dont break it you can remove it. mawaii took it from a cheap broken dvd-player with intakt laser. a dollar store laser is not as powerfull

no meddlmoe, ur the dumbass, a CD player WILL NOT work, its not powerful enough, a CD BURNER WILL NOT GIVE YOU ALOT OF POWER, still not powerful enough

amkdeath 4 years ago
seriously a 54x cd burner has a decent infrared laser, just cause you crap your pants everytime someone starts talking about infra red, does not make the lasers weak. in fact htey're quite entertaining since htey have no VISIBLE beam.
vov35 4 years ago 2
Any optical device (CD/DVD Burner) have variuos lens that change the beam (IR for CD and Laser for DVD)
If you take the diode from the device it will deliver an hot beam, it isn't very hot, but can easily make you blind.

conrad2468 4 years ago
All you have to do is not look into the part of the diode that the IR comes out and you will be fine just because it is invisible doesn't mean its more dangerous if your stupid enough to look into it than you would be stupid enough to look into a visible one.
justinmcburney 4 years ago
Not necessarily, it will slowly cause eye damage even if you arent looking directly at the diode since the lasers in dvd burners don't have IR filters, but nowhere near as fast as looking directly at it... like a dumbass, hahaha
CONVECTU0S0 4 years ago
It will cause eye damage from specular reflections.Because your eye can't detect them your brain doesn't tell you to look away or to blink, so you're eyes suffer more than from a visible laser.On another note lasers in dvd burners don't have IR filters because the red diodes don't emit IR radiation(and don't need IR filters) and the IR ones emit nothing but IR radiation and having an IR filter would make the emit nothing....

Even dispersed light from a DVD burner laser can permanently damage your eyesight so be very, very careful.
Anyone who tells you that you can only damage your eyes from staring straight into the laser is a fool. Do your homework, the information is avaiable online and extensive.

Read the program description people.
The poster is using the IR CD read-write laser of a dual laser/single lens optical pickup from a DVD/CD writer. These things have two lasers in one pickup, an IR one for CD and a red one for DVD, which is how you can have one pickup being able to deal with two kinds of discs.
As for risking your eyes, it won't happen unless you stare into the beam.
Intersonus903 4 years ago

mrkiky 4 years ago
If you have to ask, you have no business making one. I'm sorry if that sounds condescending, but it's DANGEROUS. And if you really don't know how to do it, then you don't know where the multiple dangers lie.
marks47 4 years ago
Well how am I suppose to know if I don't ask,genious? How am I supposed to learn anything?I bet you were just born with it and never had to ask,and so are there hundreds of guys building lasers....And besides that, I know the "multiple dangers" lie in the frickin' light getting in your frickin' eyes, ok? I just didn't know what lens to use....FYI I made a red one 2 weeks ago and my vision is yet to be impaired.

not all lasers are collimated dumbass.

If it uses a Infra-Red laser, it's not a DVD Burner, but a CD-Burnes that also reed DVD, but dod not burns DVD.

mawaii 4 years ago
That has to be the dumbest thing I've seen. Unless you have pricey IR goggles, you are going to kill your eyes. IR is one of the most dangerous lasers out there, because it has the full eye damaging capabilities of any laser but without visible detection.
Also if I'm not mistaken, DVD burners use red diodes?

White is Black to IR, Basically throw every thing you thought you knew about light out the window, IR is different, It will burn white things more then black
iaintg0t0ne 4 years ago
im pretty sure what you said is bullshit....White reflects light of all wavelengths of the visible spectrum, all from violet to red, and black absorbs them.Why the hell would it be different with 808nm? This wavelength is so close to red you can actually see it with your bare eye as a very dim red light, think of it as a very dark red colour.I'm pretty sure radiation of this wavelength acts similar to wavelengths of the visible spectrum.
mrkiky 4 years ago
I said IR not near IR.... And it's not bullshit
IR acts differently then UV and visible light
iaintg0t0ne 4 years ago
the point he was trying to get across is that it is friggin dangerous because you cant see the beam normally..
some frequences such as ir blue and uv are bad for ur eyes.

remarkable
and an eye opener for the dangers of lasers operating at invisble wavelenghts. I didn't see that coming. the abuse potentials for these types are beyond immagination. say while driving someone shines a beam on the driver, he will not know what hit him, victimised by the nastiest and undetectable prank ever played.

I hope you know that your eyes are being put in great danger. You are using a class IIIb laser. Will cause damage if the beam enters the eye directly. This generally applies to lasers powered from 5--500 mW. Lasers in this category can easily cause permanent eye damage from exposures of 1/100th of a second or less depending on the strength of the laser. Specular reflections can be just as dangerous as direct exposures.
