My Argon is a billion times as sexy as my 473 for roughly the same price. My argon does > 100mW easy. Both were barely over 300 dollars. Also heats my room nicely :D

I just haggled a bit for some of these on eBay. I couldn't miss an opportunity like this as these may be the only 473nm diodes we will ever see.

The listing is here: Nichia 'Aquamarine' 473nm Laser Diodes Lot of 4 475 476nm 20mW 5 6mm New | eBay

I don't need four of these, so I'll sell two of them. $350 a piece. This may be our only opportunity to own one of these incredible diodes because I don't see a large scale production of them being economically viable. The wavelengths are listed as 475nm-476nm.
EDIT: Both pending!!

Could you put one on hold for the murder GB? You'd get information on these new diodes in return :D

Yeah I hope these are tough. Maybe we will get some nice red shifting at the higher currents!

Btw those two diodes are both pending for now, those went fast!

EDIT: One sold, one pending (murder fund)

Nvm :( I just remembered that I am getting in line for that next CNI GB for the 80mW 589. Having a 473 already i cannot in good conscience buy this when I have a wavelength gap to fill. *sadness*

^Sold!

Now have one left pending with the murder fund. There's a chance that may not go through and if it doesn't, then it will be back up for grabs.

In order to keep things safe and fair you should donate your shares in the giveaway to me. This is really the only option, all things considered. Two 473nm diodes being built into laser is simply too much awesome to contain. I wouldn't want you to be killed in some sort of explosion caused by too high a concentration of laser awesomeness in your room.

:na:
