Orange-Yellow Diode Laser?

[steve-o]

Well now they've got a 622nM diode
I wonder what the price is..

They Are Very, very expensive...

And fragile...

[steve-o]

I kinda thought they might be..
Oh well.. my search for pseudo-supercontinuum goes on

Hey Chuck--
You ever heard of simple direct freq-doubling 976nM to 488 cyan-blue?
Hope ur feeling better got over the bug?

Chuck,
Just how fragile are these? Do you mean ESD or easily breakable?
I bet you could sell a 150mw orange pointer for $1000 right now
--that'd be $440 profit ea.

Well, not quite...
Those diodes must be cooled to use them as they are very temperature sensitive
plus by the time you get special optics, a decent case and supply worked out
it'l cost a bit more, Prolly double to do it right.
I wouldnt bother with the pointer thing tho,.
I have trouble with selling something of that high of power that could be hand-held and could be miss-used improperly.
I dont want to be responsible for that.

I am very familiar with their products tho,.
Just wish they were'nt quite so expensive.

Yeah, Id say expensive , especially if one was to suddenly quit
working from ESD or handling.
All you'd have left is an expensive piece of jewelry.
Like some of these violet diodes Spec and I own.

I am very familiar with their products.
Just wish they were'nt so expensive.. they do not offer free engineering samples

Thanks for the response.
Makes sense.
I forgot about TEC and the morality issue also makes good sense.
Ah, well, as the technology evolves- maybe'll take the prices down a tad.
