High Power IR diode(s)

[Laser Ben]

Hey All,

I have a CCP package diode to sell. It's a nice new 40W unit from Coherent, this one has a nice thermistor installed in the body of the diode to give great temperature measurements. This is intended to be a pump diode for some kinda laser and I measured the wavelength at 806nm so it will run a little warm to get the correct wavelength for a YAG pump (trust me, after trying to get a long wavelength diode to the correct wavelength in my green laser, you want a shorter one )

Anyways, I would like to get $120 for the diode shipped to the US. I think this is reasonable, I think GooeyGus just sold an identical unit I sold him to a member for $115.

Here's a link to the PDF for the diode.

40 watts! Damn... You could get a lot of green out of that.

I swear, you get your hands on the coolest toys, Ben!

Hehehe.... My 2.5W green uses a 20W bar, so you should be able to get 5W out of this potentially

Actually, if Nd:YAG power is proportional to the pump power, SHG efficiency in KTP follows a square law, so even higher power is possible.

Oh, and now you know!
