Just purchased one of the diodes as well. Once we get the results I will purchase a driver for it.

Works for me. PM me and we can set up the routing.
ROFL
DTR is looking to clear us all out with these diodes XD
Hopefully he doesn't get his hands on any 589nm diodes or there is a high chance we are all going to go completely broke...

I am on craigslist right now uploading my possessions which fail to emit photons in a coherent manner.

Just bought one too! I went with it already pressed in a module because I do not want to screw it up somehow lol

Same here. I am unsure as to what I want to put it in, but I am sure I can find something! Lol

Here is some preliminary testing.

I wonder if that diode is just one of those flops... at least I can keep my hopes up right? XD

XD Indeed, one can always hope. It would be nice to see one of these churn out upwards of 80mW or more, but if they all seem to sit pretty at ~50mW, I'm sure that most of us can live with that for a direct-diode green. ^_^

Yeah, I definitely won't be disappointed if they perform to spec. Even if I only got a little jump up to 60mW or so that would be great. I also don't want to let mine sit too close to the current where output starts decreasing either.

Just wait till you see it in person.:drool:
Here is a long exposure teaser shot for you. In daylight no less. I will have to get some decent night shots when it gets dark here in a few hours.:beer:

Same here.
I have already had a host sitting here the past month waiting for a direct green

Paid. Maybe I'll post more pictures of mine to mess with you guys (too bad I paid so much for mine... at least I'm one of the first )

Paid.
Quick note to you ARG, Paypal has flagged your account as high risk and wouldn't let me transfer directly from the bank, only through a card. I'm sure that's because of all these gift payments you have received. I recommend that you don't send Will the payment as a gift like he asks, just pay the extra fee yourself. I'm afraid that if you send a large gift payment you might get your account locked up.
Probably be best to go through DTR now so you don't have to worry about the gift payment.
