808NM 1000 mw high power burning laser diode 1 watt
This is a high power 808nm laser capable of in excess of 1 watt of power. It was made in the USA and is brand new not used.
The diode will instantly start burning black plastic at a close distance. The burn mark shown on the left took about 5 seconds and the burn mark on the right took about 10 seconds and it burned completely through the plastic. This testing was done using 2 D cells and a 1 Ohm 5 watt wire wound resistor. However, for peak performance a 2.2 volt power supply capable of supplying over 1 Amp would be ideal.
808nm is in the far infrared band in the light spectrum. 808nm is not a very visible wavelength so you will only see a slight redish glow. If you are seeking a highly visible red or green laser then this is not the one for you.
Threshold current: less than 300mA
Operating current : less than 1400mA
Operating voltage:less than 2.2V
Slope efficiency: more than 10WA
Wavelength temperature coefficiency : 03nm per deg
Serial resitance: less than 0.5O
