    Recklessly interfering with Darwin’s natural selection process, thereby extending the life cycle of dim-witted ignorami; thus perpetuating and magnifying the danger to us all, by enabling them to breed and walk amongst us, our children and loved ones.

    It shouldn't be that much... I bet you'll have one in less than a year from now.

    I hardly think so...

    This is intended for production in 2-3 years... so, right now it probably costs an arm, a leg, and a testicle to get one!

    In about 3-4 years... I would have one for a few hundred dollars... and I REALLY hope this baby will be single-mode with a small source so it can work for shows

    The driving factor for prices will inevitably be the progression of BluRay... if 12X becomes a streamline write speed, this thing will drop its price like lead in water... but with the fallout of HD to compete, the prices will be kept higher for longer...

    Ah well... something better will come along eventually (laser tv? ) so that we can get 531nm, 440/460nm, and 640nm diodes cheaply

    In the mean time... who can read Japanese? Where's my Rosetta Stone CD when I need it!

    My in house Japanese translator just left for work so I used google translate: http://translate.google.com/translat...istory_state0=

    It doesn't get it perfectly translated but it does a pretty good job. As expected it is 450mW pulsed and a lower 200mW CW.

    The main characteristics of the device developed

    Case temperature: 25 ℃
    Light output (continuous) 200mW
    Light output (pulse) 450mW
    Threshold current 50mA
    Operating Current (200mW) -- 200mA
    Wavelengths 405nm
    Beam divergence angles
    Horizontal 8.5°
    Vertical 19°

    Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.
