True green diode laser rgb build

[Stoney3K]

Hi!
This are green OSRAM Diodes. Surely I have the new units blue Diodes (1,4W CW rated at 452nm) on my table for test. A bit better beamdata than the Nichia/CA$IO, and a nice blue wavelength - but still more expensive...
Bests,
Phil

Are you talking more buck per diode here or more expensive per watt of actual photon power?

Obviously, a 1,4W CW rated diode is a bit more expensive than any 1W rated diode would be.

Hi!
I will just test it, no post results before.
1.4W CW, 452nm says spectrometer, beamanalyzer says 15*1um Emitter Size (which is better than the nichia).
The only thing is a small corona on one aixis on the beam. It´s just 3-4mW
The only thing : the Current/Temperature curve isn´t as linear as I hoped.
Price is arround 400,-€ each at the moment.
The green Diodeprices dropped a bit, becouse i bought a mass. 195,- € each.

Is the new price for 10 or more pieces? How much would shipping be to the US?

[Phritzler]

Its the price becouse I bought 50pcs.
With that its dropped for the guys here
US shipping is about 20USD if I´m right
Bests,

I'm in for one. Give me a few days to see if anybody else is interested.

I do have a couple questions though. What driver are you using? I need something small such as a Flex v5. What have you been setting the current to? I don't need the output to be anymore than 50 to 60mW.

Are the green diodes sensitive? (translation: easily converted into very expensive LEDs and bring tears to eyes .. and not tears of joy heh

Alright, DrEvil brought me here from LPF, I've snooped around here for some neat hosts before anyway.
Sending PM!

Has anyone done any test of these? Do we know forward voltage, safe run currents, threshold, static sensitivity? I assume they are 3mm. Is there a data sheet? Are they single mode? Any tests with available lenses? How thermally sensitive are they? Are they case isolated? Still haven't seen any pics

Hi!
you will get the data with the diodes from me (or ask per PM). Im not allowed to give out the official datasheet.
Its 3,8mm case, they are Single mode. Im working on get a better collimator for green. Thermally sensitivity : The efficiency is lower than at red or blue ones,... With that I will let you know its better to use a tec and a good heatsink for it (its a nice diode). More info come soon.

Hey guys!
This data I´m allowed to give you out of the Osram green Diode :
Case 3,8mm
515-530nm , typically 520nm
Operating Current 160-200mA (Better not over 160mA becouse of lifetime)
Operating Voltage 7-8V
Emittersize arround 7*25deg
