So I understand that after posting this thread, there is some interest for some more of these diodes. I ended up paying sround $285 base for the one mentioned in that thread and 35$ for "dhl express" shipping, and around $7 more to ship to paul to be tested. Should there be sufficient...

Alright it appears the interest is building. I'll set up a preliminary feeler gb thread later tonight.

I have the GH05035A2G, or at least that's the model the seller said.

If I can just find a driver for the 505nm then I'll be good to go. Let us know how they work out for you.

I'll go ahead and see what they have to offer me as far as specsheets and such to confirm they mean 488nm, and also see what their prices are.

The only problem I see with that is that it lists the diode as 450nm later on...

Sorry(for the 3rd time) about the lack of updates on this I was getting notified every time someone posted but then it just stopped so I figured it had gone quiet for a bit. Anyways yes, I was considering doing a group buy for these but the one that we have is currently sold to Zraffleticket...

I could post a feeler, and see what interest we could get

Thanks Paul! I guess I'll decide what to do now with it, but if sharp is now making 488's I'll probably sell this one and waot it out for one of those because I don't trust myself too much with a diode that expensive. In the meantime post some pics if you can! And can't wait to see the argon...

Well it is very interesting to say the least... they show it as having a 150ma max current if memory serves correct but to get the advertised wavelength they want twice that lol

Can't wait for the results! Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I have been in spotty internet for the last 4 days or so, but it appears Paul has the diode now, and we're eagerly awaiting results!

Wow this thread took off, Yeah I don't have a psu other than for computers... I shipped the diode to Paul yesterday and we'll see what to do with it from there. I'll probably post it on the b/s/t or if zraffleticket still wants it he did pm me first.

It has arrived! This is how it came in the DHL envelope: And this is what was inside all the bubble wrap and a larger antistatic bag: And a reminder for the shipper not to show that the value was over 5$... Now it's off to paul as soon as I can!

I will take anything you can give me, and can you take some pics of it running please?:D

Only if you promise to take a lot of pictures and measurements for me lol. But yes, I don't have the hardware to test it anyway.

I got a new tracking number that actually matched my information, and it looks like it should be here in 1-2 more days.

Probably one of the most interesting emails I've recieved thus far:

We shall see how she responds to this, and if this ends up being delay after delay than I'll pull the plug before it's too late.

I wish I was updating you with pictures of the shiny new plt5488, however it appears Dora sent my laser diode to someone in San Francisco :) Apparently the tracking number I got had a different person's name and address and even phone number on file (which is confusing to me because I was...

It's out for delivery atm, afrter that it's off to paul. Can anyone reccommend how I should ship it? I guess I'll probably leave it in whatever packaging they send it in unless it's not antistatic. I'll post pics when it arrives though :) If it is legit, should I post a group buy feeler? Dora...
