DPSS Exotic Wavelength Chart: Opinions?

Recent little project I've started in school since they blocked games -.-
After months of progress I've made this DPSS wavelength chart -->Click!

Now... I'd like input on what I can improve on the chart.

Currently I have some DPSS processes that I was able to find on my own highlighted (eg 589nm =1/((1/1064nm) + (1/1319nm)), 473nm = 1/((1/946nm) + (1/946nm)).
Now i just know there are some IR lines I may have missed, some I may have added too many onto my chart (who wants a 1100nm IR DPSS laser?)
Also, I'm under the assumption that these *should* be feasible under the right conditions, not saying they've been done or ever will be done.
There are also a few DPSS wavelengths NOT highlighted that should be.
The chart now shows many lasing mediums for IR light. Most frequency doublers remain the same as what they currently are IIRC.
Chart also now shows "possible" efficient DPSS processes highlighted

If there's a chart like this already please forgive me, I didn't find one on a forum search.

Also, if there's a way to just show the chart itself as an image (without severely stretching the page) let me know.

Looks interesting.. I have never seen that done before, and I like the idea. With some more detailed labeling and a little refinement it would be a very valuable guide/tool.

It would be worth finding a way to isolate which lines came from what. So for example, is the line from ND:YAG, or ND:YVO4, etc.

The reason that matters, is a practical one. We're a lot more likely to see wavelengths of similar origin combined. Two YAG lines may be practical to sum together in a host. A YAG line and a YVO4 line may not.

There are also a couple that I'm just curious about. What do 965, 975, and 980 come from? That's really interesting, because they double into some interesting wavelengths, and the would probably double with the same crystal that is used in 473s.

I think I just figured out CNI's 480nm
Update to the chart here.

I don't think you're right about 480nm being 1030 and 900 from Nd:ASL and Yb:YAG summed. Generally my understanding is that the DPSS process is most practical with lines that originate in the same substance.

If you look at everything else we have confirmed, both lines originate from the same material. For that reason, your 593.5 probably isn't right. Remember that 1064 is in both Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4. So if indeed the 1342 is from Nd:YVO4 (and I think you're right about that), then you would expect 1064 to be coming from Nd:YVO4 also.

The only explanation I can come up with for CNI's 480nm process, that makes sense in my head, would be a Ti:Sapphire 960nm line, doubled.

Hm, there were two options for the DPSS unit that I found multiple sources to online, the mix & match for the 480nm said ~170mW output, when CNI says ~150mW output, and the Ti:Sapphire which you mentioned (no mW comparison) the mix & match seemed closest to me.

And as for the 593.5, I just picked the first of the two while I thought up a good way to incorporate both, either a new color or change the text to blue (or reverse blue & yellow)
Thanks for the input, revised: Download.

now includes "probable" wavelengths highlighted in a light yellow

Sorry for the large image, but Tinypic is down for some reason.

Your chart there looks like it will go good with some copypasta :wave:
It appears it only has some semiconductors & gas lasers, are gas lasers used as gain mediums...?
Also I could list all the dye laser compounds in this... Really compelled not to

Its meant as a visual aid. You can add or take what you can use. Maybe combine?

Props to Lasersbee for the original post of the scale.

I'll probably combine it another day, for now it rests below the scale

Another update coming tonight!
(also.. Why do the 488nm DPSS process CNI uses & the one in those novalux lasers seem so inefficient? max ~30mW. A method I researched gets 300+mW, though it is incredibly tough to create)

Edit: Oh how I wish DIY DPSS lasers were easy

edit2: new update

Because they're not DPSS

At least in CNI's case, their 488nm units are diode-based. They use a Nichia part.

oh my. High price galore. And the novalux lasers use direct diode -> BiBO to make 488nm. So, now I need to add that to my chart...

Little update, in case if anyone's still interested. Still looking for improvements, and I also found out about a 467nm mixed pump DPSS system. Download

I think you should probably ZIP and then upload the file to LPF, instead of uploading the XLS to media fire.

These external file hosting sites often don't last. We've seen some big ones fall recently.

It's probably safer all around to upload it to LPF, and maintain the integrity / longevity of your research.

Also, what's an "MPOC" laser?

Oh, and I think it will also be important to start referencing sources for particularly the GREEN confirmed wavelengths.

Whoa! you caught an error there, its supposed to be Ca,Mg,Zr:BFO/SGO

Woah cool stuff here!
