Hello. I'm new here. I really need your help.
Yesterday, after 2 months, I received my brand new Oclaro 638nm 700mW laser diode with driver for the Oclaro Laser Diodes.

Unfortunately, something went wrong... I connected my diode like you connect the diodes from DVD's. When I hadn't seen any light, I did a little research and I found a data sheet for the Oclaro HL63193MG diode. I found that the flange (pin 2) is not connected, just pins 1 and 3.So, I soldered the pins 2 and 1 (minus) and the third pin I left unchanged, like on the picture.

Nonetheless, my diode still doesn't light up.. The current flow is at 0mA. I connected my laser driver to a normal DVD laser diode only to check the setup and on a MultiMeter I saw about 200-300mA.
Did I kill my laser diode? Or maybe it's still working and I just connected it the wrong way?
My LD is secured by one [opposite polarisation diode? wstaw tutaj fachową nazwę na to].
Please help!
