Looking for 5mw infrared 940nm laser

Hello,

I am looking for a 5mw laser with a wavelength of 940nm. I am also looking for a tiny IR reflective mirror and a second mirror that is two-way. The reason being that I want to combine both lasers into the same beam (each focused independently).

My reason for doing so is that I have a wii remote I use as a IR camera for a touchscreen (google if you haven't hear of it) and want to use an IR pointer. I want to combine the beam with a visible red that way I can see where I am pointing the IR. (The concept is that I'll have two buttons on the laser, one for the red, and another for "click" with the IR).

I looked at aixis but they don't have any 940nm. I want 940 as this has been experimentally proven by others to be the most sensitive wavelength to the IR camera on the wiimote. Or if anyone knows of a dual IR/visible pen I can buy without having to build one that would be great.

Thanks for any suggestions.

good hello, 940nm isn't a common diode laser wavelength.
the closest common wavelength available in 5.6mm is 808 and 980nm!

there are some dual wavelength diodes but the ones ive seen are 650 & 780nm: here

Bummer. I wasn't looking for a dual wavelength diode (I couldn't focus them both at the same time...?), I was looking for a laser already built with two diodes.

Bummer... I'll go with an 880 or a 980 as these seem the most readily available wavelengths that the IR camera is most sensitive to. I don't really want to try an 808...

If anyone does find a 940 somewhere, let me know. I'd appreciate it!

I stopped reading after a question posted on the forum included a Google reference to others who might have a question about this post. Kinda like help me, but I won't help you.

Thanks!

It just comes from Googling a question I have only to find that the person associated with the subject doesn't have time for the person asking. Generally, on the forums I belong, the poster is as willing to share as they are to ask for help. This just rubbed me the wrong way- first post or post 4,000.

Que?

Holy necro thread.

Yeah, no kidding... OP, may want to check the date before you post in an old thread. Last post on this before yours was 5 years ago. I don't even think any of the posters are still active here.
