Please advise if you have or can get me 6, 532nm green lasers around the 200-300mw range. I have seen them online but I dont trust any of the vendors claims. I like this site because you guys keep everyone accountable. Plese advise cost as well please.

EDIT, I totaly messed up the thread title at first. I do not need 2w of 532nm more like 200mw.

Re: Looking for 6, 532nm lasers around the 1w range.

I have one of these and it is outputting 1800mw stable. Various others have this laser and get between 1500-1700mw.

You realize that you're probably looking at $5,000 to $10,000 for what you're looking to order. Right?

sorry, I messed up the thread title, I need 532nm lasers in the 200-300mw range. I need 6 of them and for them all to be alike.

You'll need to clarify that further.

What does "alike" mean?

Same power? Same stability? Same transverse mode? Or just same physical size (for design/housing/mounting reasons)

Same power, same host, etc... I need them as identical as possible.

If "alike" = all the same, then you need more than just the same model.

You need the laser to come from a good manufacturer, with consistency to their DPSS systems. So the $200 FireDragons are out.

To get 6 lasers, all with the same actual power output and the same stability (especially so that they're the same power, at the same time in their duty cycle), you're probably looking at needing 6 labbys.

Ok, as close as possible without it starting to cost a fortune. Small differences in output are no biggie. I do need them to all be in the same host. Preferably black.

Do you want hand held or lab style?

Contact jetlasers, optotronics or laserglow... they will have the quantity you're looking for in the 200mW+ range.

What is your max/min budget per laser, and what is the intended use?

If quality is not a very high priority you can go to the cheaper chinese laser resellers like lazerer, o-like and rayfoss. Not to say the quality is bad... but there is no comparing these three companies to the ones named above.

The problem with going with a cheap, lets say FireDragon, is that while it could easily hit 300mW for around the $200 range, it might also fluctuate between 200mW and 400mW (or worse) depending on where in the "stability range" the laser is. So put a few (or 6) of them next to each other, and you'll have lasers lasing all over the place between those bounds.

So really, it wouldn't be a *small* output difference, it could be quite a large one.

I concur with IE's suggestion. Go JetLasers, Optotronics, Laserglow or (I would add) CNI.

That said, you've still got to realize (even at 300mW) that you're looking at somewhere around $3,000 for this project, as a starting point. With Laserglow, you'd be looking at around $4 or $5k
