With the higher specifications, and the fact that they seam to be able to go down to 5mW, I would seam they are using a different diode then the ones we use in the DIY Kits....plus their 1W model is hardly comparable price wise to some of the other offerings. Very nice non the less though.
The Polaris is a beast of a laser. I'd have one if I didn't spend all day, every day with them. Wait, am I allowed to say that?
@Event Horizon
Could you tell us more about the beam characteristics?
I'm mostly interested in what the true beam shape and divergence is like.
Obviously I don't expect a perfect profile, but could you tell us if the beam is superior to what we get with hobby stuff?
0.9mRad + 4mm beam diameter sounds good.
Not sure why you would want it though, with so much cheaper and more powerful models available, and the lab modules that are getting pretty good divergance, they certainly have some competition.
