I've been working on a comprehensive list of various visible wavelengths.
Mainly because I was interested to find out visually how much of the visible spectrum has been covered. In particular by diodes.
I did search the forum and found that there was a thread that existed already. So I just want to take a moment to reference the original thread on this topic. I was going to post on that thread, but my post would just get lost upon the pages rather easily.
Some excellent work was done by doubleone44 already. Feel free to take a look.

This is mainly a major update as he isn't really active much anymore to keep the thread maintained.
For now I have included:
I was going to include dye lasers, but they are widely tunable and can cover a large portion of visible spectrum anyway. I might as well colour that combined spectrum in all together otherwise.
I plan to make this thread more comprehensive over time. The idea I have is that one day a member can have a specific wavelength in mind, and then come here to find out about it and answer some keys questions such as:
What mediums are available in that wavelength?
What is the commercial availability like?
What power levels are available?
How much does that wavelength cost?
As the major population of LPF is US situated. I will base the price range on USD. I am using the cheapest available way of getting hold of that medium at that wavelength. Obviously, if you are after a higher quality/higher power unit then it will easily make it into another price range. I will also not list exact prices as these change based on several factors mainly due to availability or suppliers catching on to our interest.
How available is this wavelength?
If the availability is limited or request based, I will list the most suitable sources of where you can get hold of them. If widely available, then there is no need for me to list a source, as a simple search of Google will help you find them.

Also for a more comprehensive list of diodes available, please direct yourself to jnrpop's thread. --> List of Diodes
Due to the excellent work done by jnrpop, there is no need for me to list every diode. Instead I will list noteworthy options.

Wavelength Guide
Here are some quick viewing pics for your reference.
And now for a detailed list. If you see anything missing. Please feel free to share and help gather information.
I have tried to gather as much as I can in my spare time. There will be plenty missing still, as I do somewhat have a life.
Update - 12/10/2018
Xenforo was not allowing me to edit the list anymore so I have moved the data over to a more user-friendlier website.
To view the Wavelength Guide please visit my website: Wavelength Guide - Hobbyist Laser Encyclopedia
All data has been successfully migrated.
Note: The searchbar does not output any results as the crawlers haven't reached my site yet. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.
Update - 18/10/2018
Added colour conversions and luminous efficacy values to each individual wavelength.
Update - 19/10/2018
Added frequency (THz), photon energy (J and eV) and photon rate (@1W) values to common wavelengths. Slowly more wavelengths will be added.
Update - 27/10/2018
Reformatted existing frequency (THz), photon energy (J and eV) and photon rate (@1W) values. Also now those values have been successfully added to all wavelengths, not just common examples.
Update - 06/11/2018
The searchbar is now fully functional. It can be found at the bottom of every page and it should now be easier to navigate the website.
Update - 23/01/2021
Managed to get my table back into the forum with thanks to ArcticDude. I have made improvements to my website also. Removed ads, optomised behind the scenes to hopefully decrease page loading times and reduce data usage. I have removed a lot of google services for privacy reasons. So there is no search bar anymore. However my JavaScript wavelength search is working as intended.
Reformatted table and thread.
Update - 24/01/2021
Rescaled table to fit on desktops better. Mobile users will have to horizontally scroll still.

This is mainly a major update as he isn't really active much anymore to keep the thread maintained.
For now I have included:
- Diode (Mainly all CW and room temperature, but with a few exceptions.)
- DPSS (Have focused on recorded research and commercial lines, as there are far too many combinations that could exist in this category.)
- OPSL (Commercial lines, similar story with DPSS's if fully explored.)
- Solid States
- Gas
- Metal Vapour
I was going to include dye lasers, but they are widely tunable and can cover a large portion of visible spectrum anyway. I might as well colour that combined spectrum in all together otherwise.
I plan to make this thread more comprehensive over time. The idea I have is that one day a member can have a specific wavelength in mind, and then come here to find out about it and answer some keys questions such as:
What mediums are available in that wavelength?
- Diode (including semiconductor chemistry)
- DPSS (Syntax: Laser Harmonic (SHG etc); [Wavelength to 1dp.]; (Laser crystal ; NLO crystal) [Wavelength Process]
- OPSL (Follows similar syntax to DPSS)
- Solid State (includes wavelength to 1dp and medium)
- Gas (includes wavelength to 1dp and medium)
- Metal Vapour (includes wavelength to 1dp and medium)
What is the commercial availability like?
- DIY/Research Only (only seen in research articles, or in homemade attempts)
- Request/Order based (Not accessible without contacts)
- Limited availability (Sparse amount of sources available)
- Widely available (Readily available)
What power levels are available?
- Low (Only seen <5mW)
- Moderate (Anything between 5-200mW)
- High (Available at >200mW)
How much does that wavelength cost?
As the major population of LPF is US situated. I will base the price range on USD. I am using the cheapest available way of getting hold of that medium at that wavelength. Obviously, if you are after a higher quality/higher power unit then it will easily make it into another price range. I will also not list exact prices as these change based on several factors mainly due to availability or suppliers catching on to our interest.
- Inexpensive (<$50)
- Affordable ($50-$200)
- Costly ($200-500)
- Expensive ($500+)
How available is this wavelength?
- Wide Availability
- Limited Availability
- Request/Order Only
- DIY/Research Only

Update - 12/10/2018
Xenforo was not allowing me to edit the list anymore so I have moved the data over to a more user-friendlier website.
To view the Wavelength Guide please visit my website: Wavelength Guide - Hobbyist Laser Encyclopedia
All data has been successfully migrated.
Note: The searchbar does not output any results as the crawlers haven't reached my site yet. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.
Update - 18/10/2018
Added colour conversions and luminous efficacy values to each individual wavelength.
Update - 19/10/2018
Added frequency (THz), photon energy (J and eV) and photon rate (@1W) values to common wavelengths. Slowly more wavelengths will be added.
Update - 27/10/2018
Reformatted existing frequency (THz), photon energy (J and eV) and photon rate (@1W) values. Also now those values have been successfully added to all wavelengths, not just common examples.
Update - 06/11/2018
The searchbar is now fully functional. It can be found at the bottom of every page and it should now be easier to navigate the website.
Update - 23/01/2021
Managed to get my table back into the forum with thanks to ArcticDude. I have made improvements to my website also. Removed ads, optomised behind the scenes to hopefully decrease page loading times and reduce data usage. I have removed a lot of google services for privacy reasons. So there is no search bar anymore. However my JavaScript wavelength search is working as intended.
Reformatted table and thread.
Update - 24/01/2021
Rescaled table to fit on desktops better. Mobile users will have to horizontally scroll still.
