Hey guys, thought I would post my two 462nm builds.
First is the NDB7675 9mm 462nm diode driven by a 1.8A X-drive. I wound up putting it in a ZeroLaser Chunk host.
The pictures definitely aren't the best, but I tried! Maybe one day I'll get a real camera, but till then, I try to make do.
Picks of the NDB7675 "Chunk" standing around laseing...
The LPM gragh. Almost hit 1.8W. Link to full size image below.

Now for the Cypreus-II M462. I had planned on driving this also with a 1.8A X-drive, but it got microboosted instead. Driven at a lower current than it's 9mm counterpart, it seems to be slightly lower in wavelength.
When next to the NDB7675, I can see a slight difference in color. With both 462s next to a 445nm, it's obvious the M462 is close to the NDB7675, but not quite the same. The 445nm looks very purple while the M462 has a barely detectable purple next to the blue of the NDB7675.

And the LPM reading.
Full size graph.
Yes, this laser has a very nice run time. :wave:
A 1 minute measurement never hit 1.4W, but 1:30 to 2 minute always goes over 1.4W.
And now more pics.
Very big thanks to DTR and sinner. You guys made these lasers possible.
Thanks for looking!
