Those specs are good for any DPSS laser, .5mRad divergence is awesome. What type of modulation?

A 200mW 473 with those specs - if those are accurate that would be a very nice laser. I don't even want to think about the price though, that's got to be a pretty penny.

Well, how about a link to the laser itself? That would help me answer that question and probably get some opinions from others who have the same laser/know someone with it.

Ah, lasever. They have nice lasers, I know Andy_Con owns several. I don't know of a reason to mistrust them, especially if the specs they list are that good.

You will probably need to connect the modulation lines to a +5V source before you will get anything from the laser.

Sometimes they have selector switches, or automatically turn on when not connected to anything, but any well built laser either has a switch or you have to supply +5V before it'll turn on.

As of a couple years ago this model was selling for ~$1,400; I'm guessing $1,385 which sounds about right compared to what I've seen elsewhere.
