505nm diode?

styropyro said:
So where do I input low amounts of $$ and receive 505nm and 480nm diodes?? Looks like I'll have to break out the old pen laser building tools...it's been some time since I've put together a handheld laser.

and ZRaffleticket: the 476nm/480nm is gone?? I'm so sorry to hear that. Did it pop or did it get lost? My 476nm laser is one of my prized possessions. I used it for most of my presentations in college and had to put it in a new case because the old one was so beat up. I'd be pretty devastated if mine was gone. I have lost some of my other good lasers though due to horrible organization skills on my part...



Ha ha, good point. Nothing like flinging lead in darkness. :D I'm no gun expert either, but there is a big market of accessories for shooting in low light conditions...definitely aimed at military/police and "self defense" scenarios over hunting/target shooting though. I think "mesopic" would be a better word choice than scotopic here though...and in that case good ol' 532nm would probably be the best. When I shoot it's typically with iron sights though...(in daylight mind you)

If you place a curve in the middle of scotopic and photopic then you get a peak of 528/529nm iirc! So yes, 532 would be very close indeed.

This is getting exciting Rich and Paul. :p
 





DIODES arrived at Junktronix they will be tested later today.

Awesome! Just to clarify, will your source be getting more of BOTH the 505nm and 480nm diodes or was that just the 505nm diodes?

If this sorts out I wonder if a group buy would make sense. Although I'd guess DTR is already on top of this.

I should have the 505nm diode here in a couple of days, so I'll be able to take spectrum readings of it at different current levels.

Lost. I had it in my pocket one day I was packing up from college, then when I was home it wasn't. I either lost it in the luggage, or it fell out in one of the parking lots. This was 3 years ago. I've searched through everything I had to no avail: not in any old school boxes, not in the car buried anywhere... it has to either be at a dump somewhere or in someone's pocket as a 'cool color' laser.

Tis a real shame...

In other terms, hotel internet was down this morning. Here's what I meant by the pinouts last night:

Edit: Does this mean its case isolated..? Or does the case not matter? I really don't know.

Link to manufacturer of diodes product list: See Last Page, pinout #8


And the specs

Only the 505's. 480nm is unknown according to the email I got.

Edit 2:
Fedex says I should have the package in my hands Friday. Holy crap.

Hi Paul,
Great hope all goes well with the tests, can't wait to see some results..

Rich:)
 
I hope to have something for everyone within 24 hours of receiving it. Can't know yet what will be going on that day. :thanks:
 
That's a shame. I was hoping that at the specified current the 480nm diodes would be at least 480nm. I will carefully push the 505nm diode I have coming to see exactly what the wavelength will do as the current is increased. I should have the one that is coming to me in a couple of days.

Don't push the 505nm they will just approach 510 or 15.
Do you have any 480's on the way?
