The laser diode does not clean its own optics, by a democratic vote of two of us. The laser only has a few mW of power, which is safe to look in the eye. Only on Star Trek are little lasers powerful enough to really blow things away. A good point: the plastic of the the cd is weaker than dust. Think about it.
