Re: First Post - Looking to create the brightest possible 4" X 4" thick beam using di Would you say that the 38W of blue was enough light? Becuase if so, 64W of green will be an insane increase, about 15 times brighter, so only 16W would probably be enough, since it's 3.5x brighter, so...

Thanks for getting us that discount!

I beleive so but It would get too complicated if we did RB aswell, you can certaintly contact XPL, and set it up so that your laser is sent with the same package to be distributed. Ah, I see, i figured it was the same thing under a different name. Well, I can get that diode for a similar...

In the PLT5 GB (at the time called the 515nm diode, just search "515nm diode group buy") scroll to around page 24, pman did some tests with it and recorded ~115mw. EDIT: here's the link to the post...

Yeah, I think that's the diode well use,no reason not to zinc wits much cheaper and provides the same power, but a slightly lower wavelength.

Great! Added you to the list.

Nice! Also, (this is to everyone not just you trend, so dont feel like im pressuring you or anything XD) I added to the original post that I might have difficulty going through with this, so if someone else can offer to purchase and distribute the lasers that would be nice. PM me for details.

It's likely to be possible, I'll see if there's a cheaper red diode for you then. The cheapest green diode is the PLT5 510, and it can achieve 5mw, and I imagine a 15-20mW red should be easy to find. Along with optical losses it would probably bring the output to ~20mW. And yes, we can wait...

perhaps. I think the best would be to see what XPL says, since they build these on a large scale and have experience.

Well, the diode did survive going all the way up to 1.1A, so it might just be able to run like that. According the laser brightness calculator 200mW of red and 50mW of green would be better, slightly more green in the beam, but slightly more red in the dot, so overall it would be more yellow...

perhaps. the red diode ive just discovered actually reaches 230mW if you push it hard, and seems quite robust. ill contact DTR and see what his experiences are like with the diodes. If thats the case we would be looking at some very nice lasers. imagine 230mW of red mixed with 80mW of green...

Ill ask what they think is the best balence. I think 50mW of green and 200mW of red is good.

Added to the list :) In reality, both diodes can acheive about 100mW, but one is a slightly lower wavelength and less expensive. In my opinion, there is no reason to use a PL520, but its important for everyone to put their own 2 cents in so we know that we're getting something of good quality.

Great! i think once we get 10 or more that are sure then we can go through with this. this will be very exciting.

Re: FEELER: XPL Lasers (RG:Y, RB:M, high-power 532s, etc) i would purchase them, and have them sent to XPL where they would build the lasers. the shipping for diode source is free, so no aditional charge there.

Hi everyone, so as we all know, the company XPL lasers has gained a reputation on the forums now, for honest output powers, and offering the first handheld RG:yellow lasers for rather low price. However, the lasers use a 635nm multimode diode along with a 532nm DPSS green, meaning the beam types...

Re: FEELER: XPL Lasers (RG:Y, RB:M, high-power 532s, etc) XPL, the details will be in the feeler thread.

Re: FEELER: XPL Lasers (RG:Y, RB:M, high-power 532s, etc) those of you interested in the RG lasers, im posting a feeler thread to see if anyone would be interested in a RG:yellow laser that uses 520nm single mode green, and 635nm single mode red diodes, for a better beam quality (otherwise, the...

Generally, you can assume that any green laser is 30-100mW, along with even more IR radiation. for red lasers, it varies, though it may be in the lower range, hower powers of up to 100mW have been reported among reds. for purples, its similar to reds, however you are extreemely unlikely to...

Re: Feeler Yes more details. Does it have a driver? What diode? What material is the heatsink? 5.6mm is standard diode size, are you certain they mean module and they don't mean individual diode?
