Yes you read that subject line correctly. Wicked Lasers did the unthinkable. They took the sparse blue laser diodes used in Blu-ray Disc drives and made a cool Laser gadget out of it called Sonar.

"Sony had to delay the European launch of the Sony PS3 because of the low availability of Blue laser diodes. So how is Wicked Lasers able to build a laser gadget featuring a 405nm Blu-ray laser diode? They buy Blu-ray disc players like the one from Samsung and take out the laser diode and throw away the rest. Sony, why did you not do that to save the Sony PS3 launch? "
