FS: PL520 Direct Green Laser Diode

I hate to say this, but 520 might be virtually indistinguishable from 532.

To see the nice forest green color, you really need down around the 510 to 515 (max) range.

I think zraffle got his spectro'd at 517nm I think and he says it's still an easily noticeable difference.

I would buy one of these to measure on my spectrometer, but I want to wait for the multimode ones ;)

id like to see these chilled with a tec or liquid nitrogen!

Okay...that is a little dissapointing :\ Do you, or anyone, know of a place to get a 510nm diode? And how much would those run?

Thanks,
Isaac
 
I couldn't find any green diodes other than the 520nm ones. I even google searched and tried to go in from there. Apparently he isn't so good with PMs so I will just hope he gets back to this thread.
 
The only ones he has in stock as of yesterday, and when I ordered, are the 520's. The sites very outdated.

Think I would have spent money on a 520 if 505's were available? ;)

heres a snippet from a email i got from Wil @ Laser66:

The wavelengths have increased due to better yeilds. The > 515nm parts used to be at a premium. Now, however parts are 520, with wavelength at 518- 520nm +/-. Low wavelength parts are gone, but the good news is the price is lower with higher wavelengths.

Send him an email at the addy listed in the OP

Peace,

The x-drive (Lazeerer's buck driver) with three li-ion cells has been used with this diode. I believe that's what RHD and Arytha (SP?) used for their builds.

The operating voltage is a real pain in the backside with this diode.



Check out RHD/Arytha pictures of their comparisons or zraffleticket's pictures. Both have good comparison pictures with 532nm.

Or check out this video i made :)

I am in for a murder funds too. That make four of us. I love to see these diode can run 200mW. :)

Anyone want to organize this or should I go ahead?
I have a spectro as well as an LPM so I can take temperature vs wavelength readings.
 
The best is to create a new thread for experiences with the PL520 diode. I don't want to clutter this sales thread.
I think $20 per person is a good amount and I have no problem to ship the diode to Arglaser for testing.

I would with the one I have now but no LPM. I think you'd make a good candidate.

Or we could eliminate the middle man and just send the funds to Arg?

Price drop now $130, or chance getting one at $120 on eBay.
Also discounts at 10 pcs.
I will discount the units for bulk buys at 100+ units , email me.
