Does anyone here own a 515nm laser? I would love to see pics.

How do you get the multiple lines to separate so far? Is that just from a prism?

I think a diffraction grating, but I'm not certain.

It is a Coherent diffraction grating and the camera angle helps make them seem further apart than the really are. This pic should help put it in perspective:
You can see the beam hitting the grating and deflecting into a main beam and two orders of diffraction. In the 1st order (brightest) diffracted beam you can see the lines beginning to spread..

Nice Pics ElectroFreak. It's very close to what I would consider "true" green. +1
Anyone else?

Sweet! I searched LPF for 515nm and couldn't find any other pictures. Can't wait.
