575nm Dye Yellow laser

[Glutton]

I saw this a couple years ago and it was laser ****. I've always loved true yellow (570-580nm) and was disappointed to find that they didn't exist (not small enough to be put in handhelds anyways). 589nm's amber color just doesn't cut it.

Edit: I guess that word is censored. Let's just say uh... very beautiful pictures.

Yea that color as amazing let alone the incredible power and the fantastic beam specs. I really hope laser tech keeps advancing at the pace it has these last couple years. Yellow/orange is the only color missing from my rainbow collection right now and only because it's so cost prohibitive and from what I hear is only going to become more expensive.

But I can dream. My ideal collection is 13 lasers starting from 405nm all the way to 665nm in 20nm increments hehe.

Oh and you don't gotta tell me what pretty laser pictures are haha

I think all we need is a tunable laser that works in the part of the spectrum that changes color the most to the eye. 450-600nm would be enough. I don't know which process is capable of that though that would fit inside a handheld. Maybe a mini free electron laser?

Also, I don't know about other people but I'd rather have a low power laser 50-100mW with good a beam profile.

You can do it, if you put your mind to it(and have a wad of cash )! Making a blue rainbow is pretty easy, get yourself a 405/445 & 473 and you'll be pretty set in that range.

For green, try 515/520, 532 & 561. Yellow is pretty difficult currently, you can either get 589/593.5(which might actually work with it next to 561).

Finally for red, 635,650 and done

Same here. I only own one multimode laser, the 44, and that's all I need to satisfy my high power needs. Beam specs are way more important to me for sure.
