WTB- 365nm handheld lasers
anyone know of a source,
laser @ 365nm for UV work
I need it to be small handheld for curing of cyanoacrylate on plastics
or high powered LEDs?

Low power UV laser diodes are available, but they are around $5,000.

Tell us about your application? Would a 405nm laser diode work?

365nm is LED territory. Thread about same is here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f66/new-ledengin-365nm-leds-86382.html

For $4300 you can buy a 70mW 375nm laser diode and have someone make you a handheld with it- see: https://www.thorlabs.com/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=L375P70MLD

CNI has some DPSS 360nm UV lasers. Expect probably $X,XXX for it.

OP: When you find one under $3k, let us know.

In other words, it doesn't exist.

does it have to be a laser?
as mercury discharge lamps are in that frequency group and a neon sign guy could make you a bulb with the wattage you need.way cheaper than those diode cost.

I need it to be small handheld for curing of cyanoacrylate on plastics

As everyone as pointed out there are no reasonably priced or powerful 365nm laser diodes ---LED flashlight may be OK for your use---there are lots of options up to 10W of 365nm . Google 365nm light

700mW see: Amazon.com: Intsun® Zoomable High Powered 365 nm UV Ultraviolet LED flashlight Blacklight used for detecting fluorescer in cosmetics and baby stuff, Discover Counterfeit Banknotes, Scorpions, Minerals, diamonds, etc. (Flashlight only): Sports & Outdo

3W see: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261568190986?lpid=82&chn=ps

405nm cures cyanoacrylate just as well. Iv'e done it countless times.
Or even get some LOCA glue.
