Hello everybody,
I've been away from LPF for a while now.
Exams have been all over my head this year. :can:
Anyway, while doing some room-cleaning, I found a 25% off Sparkfun promo code that I got from Maker Faire Rome. It is going to expire soon and I don't have anything in mind to order. I...
Solely based on the fact that the PLP520 is multi-mode and is rated for 120mW, I would say that the PL520 (single-mode) has better divergence + produces less heat! :beer:

Created a sale thread here! http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/fs-pl520-ms-envy-host-89836.html :beer:
BTW I remeasured the divergence (Beam diameter at 4.3meters is 3mm and 5mm at 8.3meters) which gives as 0.49mRad once again...if you search the forum you'll see that many members get ~0.5mRad...
Hello my friends,
Up for sale I got my new build which sits inside the Envy host made by Sinner, it uses the PL520 diode (520nm) and a micro-boost drive set at 290mA! It outputs 70mW using the 3-ellement lens and 100mW using the O-like G2 lens.
Both lenses are included in the price! :beer...
520nm is more of a forest green for sure! I'll try to get some pics for ya when it get's dark here! Single-Mode diode lasers tend to have better divergence but worse beam diameter than DPSS ones! :beer:
EDIT: Here is a picture of the dot 8.5meters away from the laser while focused to infinity...
