An empty DPSS laser head to buy... like sort of a 1W sized one.. (if that's a good sized reference..

Sort of like this...

DPSS-Blue-Laser-500MW473-.jpg


That would be just a bit under a general hands length.

Unless your're this guy

All I can find when I type in "Empty laser module" and "Laser head" are just little 10mw modules etc etc..

I was looking for the same thing for a while and I found that the best bet is to look on ebay for a laser in the head you want and just find the cheapest lowest power you can. If someone knows a better option I would love to know because I am still looking for empty laser heads like this one.

True... ^ Also before anyone says... Buying one off Laserglow (If they even would) etc etc would be extortionate prices AKA more than I want to pay, so that's out of the picture.

I was able to find this if you're interested
Focusable 400mW 0.4W 980nm Infrared Laser Diode Module | eBay


Obviously I can understand if you don't want to pay 100+ just for a block of aluminum but I guess you could always do something with the laser you would take out of it.
If you do find a place that will sell empty heads please tell me because I have been looking for them for a while now.

why don't you buy one of those 473's offa ebay that is broken, I hear they are sorted into price bins depending on whether they emit photons or not.

^^ this is the cheapest way I know to get the housing at the moment. However I don't think there are any of the 'non-functional' ones listed. Just working ones.
