Who are going to spend their Christmas bonus on this
(mine is not sufficient)

prices are, I heard, 3800 and 6900euro for 0.6 and 1.2W resp.

Happy holidays to everyone !!

Very nice - I guess this is a multi diode of some sort.
Anyone any more clues on this

-mine is not sufficiant too

I'm sure either way it would be more expensive to build it than to buy it.

Yeah I would guess multiple diode too since the specs state that the polarization is random

However, I thought you could get 500mW 445nm diodes... I wonder if this is one of them driven to 600mW slightly above the diodes specified temp hence 447nm?

OOOOH LOOK WHAT I FOUND.... (ok it was posted over a month ago, so some of you might know already...)

Its shipping in March of '08 - Hmmm my birthday is in march...

nice catch there mliptack,hope your sitting down when you hear the price lol, i wonder when they will be producing 100,200,300mw diodes at a good price. Maybe one day they will be the same price per mw as the typical red diode time will tell.

1W great
445nm great
multimode - not so great

Rob, I clearly overlooked that. I guess the excitement of the 1w diode got to me... Oh well I am sure time will fix the multimode issues.

[stanwax]

Yes I read it excitedly then got to that bit and thought oh poo.
Im sure something will happen in time - right now I would like to know how much power they can push in single mode. But then if the TV application does not need single mode - will we ever get it?
