Hi all,

as everyone knows a 635nm is much brighter than its 650nm brother.

However I, and I'm sure others too, have never quite understood how much brighter.

If anybody has any pictures comparing the two,
please post them up!

Sam's laser faq lists this table for relative intensity comparison:
[tt] Wavelength Relative Factor Color Type
----------------------------------------------------------------
555 nm 1.000 33 Green Reference peak
543.5 nm .974 30 " Green HeNe laser
532 nm .885 28 " Green DPSS laser
632.8 nm .237 8 Orange-red Red HeNe laser
635 nm .217 7 " Red diode laser
640 nm .175 5 " "
650 nm .107 3 Red "
660 nm .061 2 " "
670 nm .032 1 " "[/tt]

I also downloaded a list somewhere with the intensities preceived by the CIE 1931 Standard Observer. Wavelength with a multiple of 10nm are exact and the rest is interpolated. The list above corresponds precisely.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space (The data corresponds with the green line in the first image)
