I was looking at the Lazerer website today, and I noticed the beam diameter and divergence were not listed. Does the website omit them, or are they on another page? I did a Google search against lazerer.com but could not find anything.

A second question: are Lazerer's hosts anodized? I assume they are, but again, I could not find any information.

Beam specs are omitted... most lazerer customers are not concerned with beam diameter and divergence.

Which models were you looking at specifically...? Fair chance I had it, or one that uses the same module.

I wasn't looking at any specific model; I was just contemplating the possible choices should I ever decide to get another high-powered laser in the future.

The 635nm, the 405, 445, the 650, they will be the same as what we see here all the time... the manufacturer uses the same diodes we do.

For the green lasers, once you go over 200mW, you will have a much thicker beam.

The two I tried both had ~1.5mm beam, perfect tem00. I didn't measure divergence but it appeared to be normal.

i just recieved the 300mw 638nm and the beam specs are bad its practically a line

is it adjustable focus and if so then its not focused for the distance your viewing it from

That's normal for all 638nm lasers that use the mistubishi diodes.

Mitsubishi has single-mode diodes as well, although I believe those only go up to 110 mW or so.

I think some have been able to push theirs further into the 150mW territory, but yeah, nowhere near the 1W possible with the 500mW diodes.
