Package send so fingers crossed that the beam can be shaped by prism pairs. I also included the best collimator on the market and the mount. This way we can get an accurate reading of the best possible beamspecs and beamsize.
i would be very interested in at least one of these, alot of red is hard to come by in small packages!

haha.
thanks for the genuine laugh!
you know when you catch yourself laughing at something completely clean and genuinely funny?
i am wanting to use one of these in my constantly changing "white fusion" portable setup, and red has been the only issue in attaining higher power with decent white balance...

First test with a crap plastic 0.10 euro cent lens.

Distance 7 Meters from the diode
Exit diameter 4mm x 1mm
Spot size approx 30mm x 10mm ( Its a bit blurd so hard to be sure due to the crap lens )
photo taken at 100mW
Beam visible

Note the anode and cathode are not connected to the case just like the blue diodes, no more issues with mounting.

Hi Andy,
Looks really encouraging. Divergence comparable to the 445s and that wipes the floor with the 500mW C-mount 635 I played with. Should be easy to correct with a prism pair. I wonder if those on Simon's group buy would be suitable - I recall they were broadband coated....
Put me down for a couple of diodes. I need a watt of 638 in my life.
Being a little over cautious with the diode?
Lasers and beer don't mix. After 2 beers I lose coherence.
