445nm board rename? add 447nm too?

[c0ldshadow]

yo sup all want me to rename the 445nm board from 445nm Lasers to 445nm laser / 447nm lasers?

peace

well, why not but... are those 2nanometers worth the change? (just my 2c)

I think maybe we should make the Blue lasers a seperate board, and just merge all the 445nm board contents into that. That way it covers all the blue lasers.

agreed

thx for feedback guys

i say make a poll for it

All diodes are at least wavelength +-5nm. That means that saying 445nm means anything from 440nm-450nm. Listing 447nm doesn't really make sense.

Some diodes are even +-10nm

The 445nm board was created to contain the flood of stuff when it (and the Arctic) was new. Posts about it will still overwhelm the 473nm, but it is definitely a "blue" laser

yeh tru dave , agreed

well i want the 532 board renamed 532/530
and the same goes with every wavelength. Because if i'm looking for info on 447nm and all i can find is 445nm, i'm sure to get lost. Because i'm dumb, have no common sense, and can't figure things out on my own.

Gee thanks Mo, now my screen is dripping with sarcasm! :san:

Couldn't help myself

A "blue diode lasers" forum and then the current blue/yellow/other forum maybe with a tweaked name. Like "Exotic solid state lasers" or something such as that.

And don't forget to add a "Gaser" section +/- giga electron volts. J/K

It doesn't appear that we have any real majority here yet.

89 voting

52% for leaving the boards as they are

48% for making a "Blue Lasers" board.

one vote for merging it with the "other colors" board

Peace,
dave
