Was this supposed to be 589nm ? 689nm is a deep red.

Hi,
689/690 is a deep red ,i have a custom labby built for me by lazeerer who makes our drivers. He did this sometime back when he was still around the forum. I used it once and its still in the shipping box.

689nm lasers have been available for a long time both DPSS and direct diode more recently---as the CNI data sheet says: --689nm is widely used in communication, medical treatment, scientific research, etc

From 2011 -- " We report for the first time a coherent red radiation at 689 nm by intracavity sum-frequency generation of the 1319- and 1444-nm laser-lines of two Nd:YAG lasers. Using type-II critical phase matching KTP crystal, 689-nm red laser was obtained by 1444- and 1319-nm intra-cavity sum-frequency mixing, and output power of 156 mW was obtained." See: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1134/S1054660X1113010X

Used in Photodynamic Therapy of eye problems like macular degeneration---optical clocks, gas sensing systems for strontium detection, laser cooling of strontium

That CNI has a data sheet probably just means CNI sees a market for or has a customer for low cost Chinese made 689nm lasers.

Hello RC,

Nope, this was meant to be 689. As Encap mentioned it seems like these have been around for awhile, and CNI finally saw a market for the :yh:
