Weird request: Where do I go about sourcing an Orange or Pink laser?

[muvment]

For a specific project and I'm trying to keep the cost & build time to a minimum, so no reason to put in multiple colors if I can find a laser somewhere in the 618-625nm range (or thereabouts).

Power anywhere from 50mw - 1w.

Any ideas?

Technically, the color requested is "Pornj" - a combination of pink & orange.

you're not going to get a laser in that wavelength band at that power and keep costs to a minimum.

if you want cheap pink/fuchsia, combine a 405 with a 660. you can do this easily with a single dichro or a broadband pbs cube.

Neil, the best you can hope for with the time, and budget you have is to go with a 635nm... It would be redish orange... Not sure if you are aware but the red is not cheap...

I second the 635 idea.

Get a 5-7 mw 635 diode and operate in CW while TEC'ing it down to near 0 deg F. The diode will have to be inside a chamber filled with a noble gas. You should be able to get at low power levels near 622nm depending......some diodes will have a better nm/deg shift.

Simple!

I agree with MechEng3 only that with a fairly conservative zero C the cold side of the heat sink around the diode acts as a moisture getter and just sealing the diode behind a window is good enough. You won't need any gas flush.
