Good find, I didn't even know that Opnext had a 405.
I wonder if anyone on the forum has tried to source one? (Beyond paying whatever ridiculous price I'm sure Thorlabs marks it up to)
So funny, I just stumbled onto this one a few minutes ago and then did a search, this is the only thread it is in right now.
It is multimode, but it still would be nice if we could get some more power out of a 405nm for beams anyway.
It is mentioned here as well...
Opnext Laser Diodes: Violet, Blue, Red, and Infrared
Introducing our new 445nm 80mW single transverse mode blue laser diode, the HL45023TG is ideal as the blue light source for RGB laser pico projectors.
The 404nm, 500mW multi transverse mode violet laser diode, the HL40023MG is suitable for direct imaging for printed circuit boards and medical analysis equipment.
EDIT: I wonder if one of the Chinese partners might be willing to sell these diodes? I know a lot of the diode makers don't like for their diodes to fall into hobbyist hands, but the Chinese seem to have less concern for silly "rules?"
