Well thanks to Bridge at LASERWAVE.COM http://www.laser-wave.com/English/ I've had the pleasure of reviewing their 200mw 473nm Lab Laser, the same unit the Daedal reviewed except 200mw.
These retail at approx 1250 euros for LASERWAVE. Firstly the package came well protected in heavy duty foam packing to protect the laser and after opening it I read the instructions that came with it.
It's powered by 110v-250v so all I had to do was use my universal travel adapter to fire this beauty up 8-)
Once I fired it up the beam looked very stable to the eye no signs of mode hopping whatsoever And WOW this is a very beautiful color and at 200mw it's very very bright too, after playing around for a while I shut it down so I could start it from cold and do a power reading on my Andover LPM-1 laser power meter which I will post the Graph below in this thread. The laser started up at 150-164mw and then quickly rose to above 200mw. It peaked at 220.4mw throughout a 4 hour test, the laser never went below 160mw, and once it had warmed up it stayed at 200mw most of the way.

DIVERGENCE
I used pseudo's divergence calculator to do the measurement and the result was this: 1.2303143398648 mRd so rounding it off 1.2 mRd 8-)
Now for the Laser show guys here you are gonna love this piece of kit and want one for your collection :P I know for the rest of us then 200mw of BLUE is enough to make use a little weak at the knees
Now I'm no scientist but I'm sure that physics labs would make very good use of this fine piece of kit and at the price they ask for it, you just can't go wrong 8-)

Here's the driver and kit that you can use TTL with here.

.

Now here's a beam shot in the sky from my bedroom window I just couldn't resist it :P :P :P :P :P

The beam is visible under lit conditions too

In a dark room it's just so beautiful and seeing is believing 8-)

Now for the video of what it can do :P :P :P :P :P

Now thats sweet! I going to build a blue using the Group Buy Barrel. it will be a nice addition to my collection.

Here's a still shot of that tunnel in the video

And another 8-)

Do you have to send it back?? Thats the only prob if i ever get to do a review, is sending the laser back But that is sweet!!Nice review too!

Heres the graph produced with my Andover LPM-1 Laser power meter [smiley=smiley_down.gif] [smiley=smiley_down.gif] [smiley=smiley_down.gif]

For those of you with a slow Internet connection here's the youtube link below :P

Wow..... thats sweet .... if only lasers like that costed 50$ then maby i would have a relly cool laser show : )

I want one ;D but the wife would kill me

Lab lasers are just so sweet as you can leave them running bouncing the beam off mirrors etc for ages Unlike portable lasers which get hot or are dictated by batteries and duty cycles Once you switch it on you can play to your hearts content with all the experiments you can think of 8-)

This is great.
Great blue teaser/review TL !!
That picture from above in lit room is INSANE !!!! .. not to mention the graph.!

I am missing this coherent color in my life!!!

Oh, man
sorry for our webwite, because we are doing the new edition, so those days the webwite doesn't work well.
yes, you can see the old edition this way,http://www.laser-wave.com/old/English/
soon the new editon will be ok, will give all of you more surprise.
Best regards!

Bridge has told me that the MARK 2 versions of these fantastic lab lasers are holding higher powers than the MARK 1. So if you really want a good quality BLUE laser in your collection then look no further...

Here's a shot of the BLUE next to the RED and GREEN 8-)

That is so damn sexy! Im now going to save all my christmas pennies... and maybe not fuel my car for a few months to pay for one ;D

Well they are very well priced at around 1250 euros that's very cheap for a blue of this magnitude!!

Thanks, Timelord
Thanks for you quickly and harder works, thanks for you did all-sided review of our lasers.
yes, the Mark 2 versions is better than 1, we always want to do better than before.
as we know, there is no perfect product, there is improving products.
satisfy customer needed is always in our heart.
Best regards!
