    Question

    How's the divergence? Any beter than the 635's?

    The datasheet says "suitalble as light sources for laser display" (!)

    Looks like the divergence of the bare diode is 8x23 in a 5.6mm can. Not sure what you'd get with suitable lenses though.

    I have some idea, but will let you know exactly when it arrives in 6-8 weeks.

    Cool

    p1t8ull;

    Cool! I eagerly await your review...

    Allthat:

    Dude - Steve-o has his hands full right now with all the other gear he's been working on. If he finds out about these new diodes, he'll go broke trying to get his hands on some!

    Still, if one could tame that beam (doubtful based on the specs quoted above), it would make for a nice red...

    Hi Guys, i was quoted these prices from photonic 3 weeks ago,
    HL6385DG 643nm 150mW Opnext laser diode- £185.00 each - delivery approximately 4-6 weeks
    HL6378DG 642nm 80mW Opnext laser diode - £149.69 each - delivery approximately 6-8 weeks
    DL-5146-152 405nm 35mW Sanyo laser diode/MPD - £643.88 each - delivery approximately 6-8 weeks
    as usall you are going to pay the price but combine 2 of them and your gonna get a realitive brightness of approximatley 600mw of 660

    I wouldn't like to be the first to pop one.
    at that price if one died - which lets face it is gonna happen.
    Well it did happen Arrrggghhh!
    So maybe that was it, 1 popped one - $295.00. And that was the sacrificial diode to appease the laser gods, so you-all dont have anything to worry about (even tho we're talking about 2 different diodes here)
    I'm having pretty good results (beam-how quality, not graphics) using a triple lens setup.
    Oh, and these are 636 nM with no cooling required

    We're talking multi-mode here, right?
