Does anyone own the 515 and 520? How similar are they? Ive been reading about the 520s and wavelength shift closer to 530 depending on how they are driven. I dont suspect these are driven too hard due to the power but just checking to see if anyone has them.
FYI i know there is at least one member on BLF that is interested in the PL445-1600 but is trying to get funds together.
Oh forgot to ask, please switch me to the pl445 - 1600
Thanks
I can't resist. If my friend agrees to buy my current 405nm by friday, I'll be in for the PL405. maybe. I want to know more. the site says the divergence is 3mrad, really bad IMO. hell, my current 405nm has better divergence than my RPL 532. It also says on the site TEM00, which doesn't sound like a multi mode
so do they say 3mrad because it is a multi mode diode? Is the 3mrad a mistake? anyone have experience with these versus a 500mW SO6J 12X build, specifically beam diameter and divergence?
I chuckled upon scrolling past Aryntha's order because it's what mine is.
HL515-30mW x1+ (freaks wanted)
HL460-100mW x1+ (freaks wanted)
Also, if applicable (and not disadvantaging fellow group-buyers), I'm willing to spend at least 50% addt'l cost for freaks, particularly: longest-wavelength 460nm, e.g. 465nm; shortest-wavelength 515nm, e.g. 511nm. I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to purchase any freaks, e.g. high power. I'd like at least one of each model, and am considering greater quantities, based on freak availability. Thank you!
Great to be back :beer:

Really sorry guys. A deal came up I had previously missed out on and got a second chance at. Had to jump on it this time. Hope no hard feelings
but, are we even spectroing these?
Keep me down for at least one of each, for now, as I consider at least two of each. If I do two of each (or more), I'll have them sent to someone (likely near Texas) to spectro/LPM, to know where each stands.Unfortunately it is only luck of the draw. If you want a shot at a exclusive wavelenth or so you will need to buy a few lasers of the same sort and measure them individually
