    Building a orange (613nm) Laser from scratch with off-the-shelf parts (and for cheap!)

    Why I need two? Your setup ( that is actually very cool) has also one diode and not two. You can purchase even a single one. That's why the price is higher. Everything less than a full lot ( i think they package them in 5 boxes with 200 diodes each) requires someone open one and pick it. 1 or...

    Building a orange (613nm) Laser from scratch with off-the-shelf parts (and for cheap!)

    You can get the 488nm sharp laser diodes wavelength selected from 475nm-500nm for about 400$ per diode (if you order only a few and not 2k or more. This is definitely much cheaper than the cost of a high level cooling/heating assembly and can be just inserted into the usual diode mounts. Singlemode

    Looking to buy a sharp 473nm/477nm/480nm Laser Diode

    I have a quote here for the 500mW single mode blue diodes (from 435-465)nm for 2,258USD . Ans a quote for the NDA4116: EUR2052 (100mW speced) and you can choose the WL. So a little more, but on Ebay you can find old laser at this wavelength for a bargain and extract the diode. Nichia has a...

    Looking to buy a sharp 473nm/477nm/480nm Laser Diode

    Fir this price you will gett a 200mW Nichia diode (you can choose your WL) and they have a great beam profile.

    671 nm diode laser

    Try this guy: http://www.qphotonics.com/Single-mode-laser-diode-130mW-660nm-QLD-660-130S.html This diode from sharp : GH06P25A1C has a wavelenght spread through the batches up to 670nm. If you contact sharp, they can select the ones you looking for. he always helped me so far to get diodes on...

    671 nm diode laser

    There is no need to heat them so strong. You can get wavelength selected 660nm diodes that lase close to 665nm and can be pulled in an ECDL up to 667nm or so. Than 10°C rise will give you 3nm higher wavelength so you should easily be able to run your ECDL at 40°C. This is a temperature that can...

    671 nm diode laser

    Not that I am aware of. I assume you plan to use the diodes for Lithium laser cooling. If so there is a way to get the 100mW at 660nm to work at 671nm in an ECDL. Singlemode

    PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub

    The posted Ebay product is a compact 532nm DPSS source. Singlemode

    PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please sub

    The reason might be, that they are sold by Thorlabs and they guarantee the specified performance of their products, what is not the case for the cheap Chinese ones. If this justifies the higher price is up to the buyer. For people here in the forum who are into pointers, I don't see a reason to...

    You only need to collimate the green output and you are good to go. Singlemode

    Thats a 808nm pump diode, crystal that generates 1064nm and a doubling crystal that creates 532nm. Singlemode

    Yes, the single mode diodes from Nichia are binned and measured individually and the data on the diode box is specific. Singlemode

    New site live - please report any questions/issues here

    Since the forum upgrade a year ago (a so) its getting worse and worse. Ads everywhere and spam too. What about an extra area for new members, they have to post X post in Y days first, before being able to post somewhere else? Singlemode

    Thorlabs has also custom fiber configurations: https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=2410 You can order a short sma to fc/pc there Singlemode

    New! Sharp Diodes 1W 520nm & 5W 455nm & +2W 638nm

    You can't beat the laws of physics. There is no such a thing as the multi mode diodes we know with a round beam staying round over long distances. Singlemode

    New! Sharp Diodes 1W 520nm & 5W 455nm & +2W 638nm

    I can imagine something like CNC applications, where you are interested in beam profile at one point only (in the focus) then these FAC diodes help you if you don't want any additional optics, otherwise I don't know. Singlemode

    New! Sharp Diodes 1W 520nm & 5W 455nm & +2W 638nm

    Like allready stated before this is not possible with multi mode diodes. They have a large M^2 for the slow axis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_squared The M^2 is in order of 5-10. So for the same waist size the divergence will be 5-10 times higher than the fast axis. A square beam just...

    Collimation - Down the rabbit hole

    I still don't understand what's your problem is and why stuck with the NA question here, it was answered now multiple times in this thread. I suggest GOOGLE in this case for you. Regarding your lens that is places 1 focal lenght away: This will collimate a point source but you want to focus it...
