So I've been browsing DTR's webpage lately... you know... cos I fear imminent laser market collapse and I find something interesting in the 462nm range.
inb4 any judging sets in. I'm a COMPLETE NUB with regards to lasers. I'm not that rich and if I break it assembling something I'm done .. no more expensive boy's toy for me. Took me 3 years of "tutoring" before I dare to solo computers.
Ok , lets get back to it.
The Nichia NDB7675 9mm module which only does 1.4W and a divergence of ...14 degrees will set you back $200 just for the diode.
While the M462 which does almost 2W (5.6mm module ,yes) only goes for $120. Still can't find its datasheet yet but still it leaves me rather confused.
Both of them emit the same wavelength , yet the higher powered one is $80 cheaper than the lower powered one while being a bit more modular too.
Can someone teach me why is it that way?
Perhaps the NDB7675 have a few secrets up their sleeve that I'm not aware of?
PS: I jumped to the laser projector part of the forum not long ago... It sounded like two robots talking with numbers and alphabets flying everywhere .
