Whilst looking for a source of high power laser diodes I became interested in the devices that are now being offered as samples for the new Sony Blu-Ray discs.
This manufacturer http://www.nichia.com/product/laser-main.html has samples of a 200mw 405 nm device ? Anyone experienced a laser at this wavelength ?
Sony is planning hugh production of these laser diodes and I was wondering if the devices were suitable (emitter size etc) for incorporating into laser module ?
Have you played with them Marconi, K_car, Sec ?
