piyushp_20, Dude as long as you have the source, you shouldn't need to test it out yourself, This is a great post, and I think I'll rip apart some of my old cd drives to see. Most of us do have DVD drives by now, and probably an old cd drive kickin around as well. Over here they're practically the same price, same for those lightscribes! so it kinda make you wonder, what the difference between the two are.....

-The BlacKCoaT Operative-
the base concept of this mod is flawed. a dvd need a completely different type of laser to operate. i.e it does not need a narrower beam but a smaller wave length!

also a optical drives lens assembly does not have a 'screw' to narrow the beam, as it has a magnetic mechanism that it uses to move the lens to focus correctly on an optical track. It may possible have a screw (a variable resister/capacitor) to adjust the intensity of the beam.

get ur concepts right.
