Blu-Ray Laser Pointer
We all know the Sony Blu-Ray replacement drive assembly for the PS3 and the Blu-Ray Laser phaser project i mentioned in a past article. So we know its possible to build a Blu-Ray Laser with one of these modules, but what makes this project better than others ? It seems the author payed a little more attention to details and added a current-limited power supply opposed to the simple resistor based design. The project also features rechargeable Li-Ion batteries with charging jack on the back and a protection circuit module for Li-Ion batteries. So you can see now that this project brought many improvements to the original one.

Where do you get the blu ray laser diodes from? Who is the distributor?
Can they be bought on-line?

Michael, I’m not the author of this project, so I never bought a blu-ray laser, but these modules are widely spread on the web. You can get them at some electronics shops or from ebay.
