515 nm laser pointer

[lasrgreg]

Just got in a 515 nm laser pointer. Output about 6 or 7 mW (close enough for Class 3R), lovely color

Great. How much $ and who did you buy from? Diodes are safer than DPSS, even with APC...which can fail.

Laser To, and about $180 ( expensive, but probably a first)

that seems expensive. 20mW 515nm modules were selling at selem for 65$

Hi, any source for those modules, besides selem? Sound promising, thanks.

They came from Aixiz laser

I was letting SELEM attendees get these modules for 60$

ATM they are 85$ plus actual cost to ship-I have tested several and all made 26mW-these are ready to use just put 3 or 4 VDC to the red/black-
focusable (plastic lens faik) lens-SMD driver already inside the standard AixiZ Blank module(chromeplated brass iirc)
not many (65) came in the first shipment- urging more to be ordered the same and also the 520nm -both as modules and also Osram bare diodes.

The module holder these come in is not nearly enough mass to make much difference and the fit is way off-you could use copper shims but wiser IMO to just get a real Heat Sink with a tighter fit. No tests done yet on these MODULES so the duty/rest cycle ATM is an unknown. The murder tests should be a good indicator.

I think they are pretty robust- the color is quite nice- same with spot --nice and round and also the divergence is very good.
Ideal power for portable LUMIA or Spiro build with batt power-- until more come in I would hope ordes would be for no more than 2-per member.


PM me and I will send you a link. ships worldwide from Houston Texas..


I may try to do a GB for more of these and/or bare diodes-- PM but like most times they things go down in price later so...The 60$ price was just to get some out into the hands of members. LOOKs like at $115 LASERLANDS is already sold out or maybe fleaBay locked-down more laser listings as LL normally has more than just 15 items...

Thanks to you! PM, hak.

I got one of the DTR green diodes already, love the color and beam.

Maybe I can grab one of these lower power modules here, for some installations. Again, thanks.

Here is what you get- the 'holder' is the same size as this module holder--

here..http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...products_id/99

but no tripod hole on bottom and there are four holes. The silver one also has only one set screw in top- BUT both are a poor fit for 12mm modules-

here is what is being sent out now-
