395nm 5mw laser pointer

[ehardin2]

I know it would not make sense normally to have a laser pointer outside the visible spectrum but does anyone know of a UV laser pointer < 400nm? If not, is there a source of a laser diode 5mw or less that I could buy to install into an existing 405nm pointer?

Thanks. Ed

Nothing that is easy to find at the moment. Your best bet is GH0393AA2G from Sharp, though it's rated for 300mW. You can probably drive it pretty low. Group buy may or may not happen here https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/sharp-395nm-300mw-diode-gh0393aa2g.108325/

Can I ask why? I own one of them, there is only a slight difference in color when compared side by side.
