Most powerful single mode laser diode?

I was wondering what the most powerful single mode laser diode is.

Would be great if we could compile a list of them by wavelength. Surely this will prove useful to many.

Direct diode or DPSS?

There are all sorts of crazy diode-based lasers out there in the lab world with crazy spec's, like multiple watts of single-mode TEM00 output, but who has $50k to find out?

Ushio has this guy: http://www.ushio-optosemi.com/documents/uos/products/UOSE_DS_HL40071MG_Rev5.pdf which is 300 mW TEM00. There is likely something bigger, but you are already in pretty expensive territory.

Is there a reason you ask?

What, like this?


A simple search should of bought it up.

The most powerful single mode diode I know of is the BDR-209DBK. Can hit 900mW. Its beam specs are excellent.
