It's my understanding that the BDR-209 diodes are presently the most powerful single-mode 405 nm laser diodes available. But from what I could tell, the BDR-209 is technically the Blu-ray Disc drive marketed by Pioneer Corporation. I could barely find any official specs about the diode itself.
The fact that 405 nm lasers can go well over 1 W suggests that the nominal output of the BDR-209 diode is very high. However, most of the single-mode 405 nm diodes I could find are of low power, like 100 mW or less. So I'm wondering:

- Who is the OEM for the BDR-209 diodes?
- Are these diodes specifically made for Pioneer Corporation?
- Does anyone have an official spec sheet for the BDR-209 diodes?
