I can't seem to find any legit PL-450 Osram diodes. Every time I search it ends up being the PL-450B.
Does anyone know where I can obtain a 80mw PL-450 Osram 450nm diode?
It's power curve shows it will lase at about 2.4mw so this would be perfect if i could find one.
The PL-450B is a 120mw diode and I'm being advised that it starts lasing at 15mw. The power chart graph appears to show it will lase lower but I'd take DTR's word for it... and that makes me sad.
I want Blue, not violet. I want Single Mode not Multi-mode. I need it to be Eye Safe.
I was also advised I can get a red filter for the PL-450B and possibly get it down to <5mw. What filter? and Where to obtain it? How to mount it?
I would like it in a module. I should have mentioned this also. I would prefer not to solder to the diode on my first build with a ~35.00 diode.
I found Osram PL450 450nm 80mW TO38S on a few sites as diode only and I may just have to bite the bullet and try my hand at it.
I absolutely love the ~450nm range.
