405nm PBS cubes $50 laser-wave

thesk8nmidget said:

these are $50 (fifty)

and the phr sleds have tiny cubes

the ones at optotronics are broadband coated these will result in a lose in power.

these cubes are ar coated for 405nm which will minimize the loss quite a bit!

So what is the difference? out of a 100mW blu-ray? between the broadband coated and the 405nm coated?

i´m also interested in buying 2-3 pcs,

but is there any technical data for this ?

about reflection and transmission ?

i will ask bridge for a data sheet on these and let you know


i did just get my shipment in so i have 5 of these ready to ship out.

also the difference of the broadband pbs cubes suiraM is referring to and the custom ar coated 405nm pbs cubes from laser wave are the amount of power loss you will have.

you get what you pay for.
these are made specifically for 405 so they are designed to have minimum power loss.

the broadband ones are made for multiple wavelengths so depending on the wavelengths you will get maybe some loss or a huge loss.
one cannot really tell you how good the broadband ones are unless they were tested with 405nm
