8X DVD writer laser diode uses
This floppy disk burn through is another example of what a 140mW red (8X DVD burner) laser diode can do focused to a few mils at a close range. Measured for this test at 84mW @ 650nm. WEAR YOUR EYE PROTECTION!!! These things can blind you “BEFORE” you can blink at this power! or at least make you sorry you saw it.
