  • @hyparh
    @hyparh 6 років тому +14

    Very useful tutorial! Recently I detached a laser diode from an old DVD Writer SH-S223. It's an open type diode with no glass protection. I'm using this schematic with LM317, the resistor is around 14 ohms, but the diode (in its original, though small, heatsink) gets hot after 2-3 minutes of work. Is this normal or I have to add more resistance? I'm using two 3,7V Li-ion batteries in series for power supply. Unfortunately I couldn't find diode specs anywhere to see its operating current.

    What wattage should the 3.3 ohm resistors be? I also have an old 500mw laser diode. Can I still use the same schematics, using the lm317 and 3.3 ohm resistors?

    • @okaraaze1087
      @okaraaze1087 9 місяців тому

      you can use the exact same schematic yes. But you will need to use a different resistor to power this. In the video the guy posted the formula to find the output amperage of the driver.
      the current output is
      1.25v divided by the resistor value. Experiment with the resistor value on paper to find the correct current value that will run your laser diode.

    I would make a mold of a tiny cylinder diner, not too large yet not too small. Fit inside the fully soldered and connected LM317 ballast. Use rubber insulated wire for the inputs and outputs. Fill the mold with resin, and wait for it to harden. To make sure the wires don’t screw up, use a thick set ceramic glue to cap off the wires going in and out, almost like that on flyback transformer pins. Then make a thin 3D printed case, fill it with a tiny amount of the same ceramic glue, and press fit it on. Put a nice sticker on it, and try to color code the wires.

    I made a circuit with a lm317 voltage stabilizer as in a film and when it gives a voltage of 4.22V per diode it gets 3.58V and when it gives 9.96V voltage per diode it gets 9.28V . My resistor has exactly 4 ohms. Should it work that way? The electrician in the store told me that this arrangement does not make sense. What should I have voltage on the diode? Please reply .

    Уже не актуально, столько на Алике лазерных диодов россыпью можно купить...
    От нескольких милливатт, до 5 ватт. Я даже для 5 ваттного синего лазерного диода не стал делать драйвер. При прямом подключении к литий ионному аккумулятору, форм-фактор 21700, диод потребляет 2,5Ампера. Что 2\3 от максимального тока допустимого для этого диода. Главное сделать из медного прутка 20мм хороший радиатор.

    Do you happen to have any info about what kind of temperature you can achieve using a battery powered setup like this?
    Have you ever done any thermal measurements of a surface that's directly hit by the beam?
    I understand that the actual temperature reached is mostly related to the physical material properties of the object and for how long it's been absorbing the light's energy, but I'm just interested what a simple diode on a lithium cell could be capable of in terms of cutting through/into certain materials. (more specifically: can a setup like this ignite a small spot on a piece of charcoal before the battery is drained you think?)

    Cycle-by-cycle Current Limitation
    From the block diagram, an ILIM comparator is used to
    realize cycle-by-cycle current limit protection. The
    comparator compares the SW pin voltage with the reference
    voltage, which is biased by a constant current. If the inductor
    current reaches the limit, the ILIM comparator detects the
    SW voltage falling below the reference voltage and releases
    the signal to turn off the switch Q1. The cycle-by-cycle
    current limit is set at 1200 mA (nom)

      Maaz Ahmedani did you even listen to what he said? He himself stated that he doesn't have a dvd reader to destroy so he bought new diodes from the internet

    Hello, if anyone still watches these comments, i have a question:
    When i take the operation current of the laser diode (< 0,34A) and the Ohm of the resistor (3,3Ohm) and try to calculate the voltage (3,3 * 0,34 = 1,122) i get 1,122V as the result.
    What battery has a 1,122V voltage? And in the video are even multiple 3,7V batteries used.
    Am I misunderstandling anything?
