    Default 640nm

    i email the guy and he replyed 2 minutes later with this

    spectral width is 635 - 645 nm center wawelength is 640 nm. we have datasheet in printed format. we are preparing datasheet in pdf format as soon as possible.

    still dont know what to think

    that is the same current range as a long die open can diode can take.. and this unit is mounted in a drilled-out resistor heatsink. My guess.. 655-660nm, not 640.

    Cool

    My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing that they're fudging on the wavelength.

    Still, at ~ $80, it's not a bad deal for a 300 mw laser, even if it is 650 - 660 nm.

    Default fishy

    would like to see the beamspecs of this couse the price is not so bad.

    but this picture makes me worry alitle bit.

    Wery wide in the start and then goes thin about 10cm and then starts wideing.

    Ive done something similar to this with an normal magnifying glass and it looks excactly the same although 1meter away the dot is big as a fotball (soccer ball)
