635 nm single mode diode

New Mitsubishi 635-638nm 180mw ML520G55/Single Mode Laser Diode | eBay

Just thought I should share. It's single mode, so it's kind of like how the 445 nm multimode has the 450 nm single mode brother..

180 mW, pretty decent power output too!

Well, okay it's a bit expensive...

Kinda expensive for $155 per diode.

Luckily I got the 40mW Sanyo 635nm diode way back for $20. They are actually 60mW in power.

@Le Quack - That diode was why I was so excited when o-like came out with the 200mW 635nm.

Unfortunately that's not the diode they ended up using

I would love to have a single mode 638nm, but not willing to pay that much. At least not yet

Way to expensive!

180mw of 635nm = 400mW 650nm not bad..

But of course the diode will put out more than that for sure.

I might would be interested. I see three have been sold, anyone here? How are those beam specs? I'm looking for a nice round dot with a tight beam. I don't love the multimodal 635's very much.

I'd love 180-200 mW of well-shaped 635!

Your better off buying the Optnext version (HL63133DG) IMHO, its cheaper and been tested above spec, i think the beam specs are a lil better too IIRC.

Looks like it is $176 + shipping.
