Nichia NDG7475 1W 520nm Laser Diode


Exciting day. Finally got my 1W Green diodes and could not wait to do some testing on them.:eg:

This 9mm diode has off center pins.

First thing I did is pop one in a sink and fire it up. Was amazed the brightness of the beam indoors during the day. Really bright.:drool:








This diode with the G-2 has a pretty identical box reflection that the 9mm 445nm does.

So next I decided to put them head to head and @ 25 Feet they were both about 30mm with a G-2.

So now on to the meat here is the LPM test of the diode. Test is done with a G-2 lens.


































There you have it. Whole lot of of Green goodness. Oh and for some dark shots.:beer:

Was worth staying up (2:30 am here) :shhh:

Now let´s see what their max. operating current is :evil:
 
So based on these tests, what are you going to package the diode and driver set to :thinking: 1.65A, 1.8A?
 
good work on the post ! they look gut like the new 9mm diodes, I have same hole on the back.

Thank you Jordan....Great quick First look !!!!!! My prediction is that one will get the tightest, closest to a far field spot with a pair of Anamorphic Prisms for correction coupled with the O-like 1/2 threaded glass lens. See attached concept drawing - " Green Extreme V1 "

It is great that the far field spot is as good as the 9mm 445. Perhaps, ANY correction is marginally useful. Guess it depends on your expectations.

I will build the " Green Extreme V1 ".....eventually !!!

I will also predict a farfield geometry of 16mm wide x 13mm tall at 50 feet (15.3M )...with /OO\....." Corrective Glasses "...based on my trials with the " Tridentis "

Thanx again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmm that phantom square. Why the heck does that even happen? I understand its the G lens and it focuses all of the diode's output rather than the optimal section of it...

But 1.5W... I can see quite a few people running them in the 2.8-3A range.
 
MadM....Your " Holy Grail " pics inspired me !! See pic. CDB

I like that. I like that very much. This will be easy to correct.

Thank you for sharing DTR :) :beer:
 
:drool: Gotta get myself one of those. Just gotta wait till the price drops. Imagine if these were as efficient as the 9mm 445nm diodes. 2.5W+ of green goodness.
