Been away for a while whats new?

[udanis]

Hey guys I've been out of laser land for a while and kinda want a new toy. I'm thinking a of building a pen sized 445nm or 450nm. Anything new happen in the last year or so I should be thinking about?

Any new cool 10440 hosts out there?

Some 9mm 445nm diodes have reached 3W+
1W 638nm diodes in a 5.6mm package are readily available; with a terrible multi-mode beam.
Green diodes are almost available.

Nothing else that I can think of.

The new 510/515nm diodes are within the forums. well 2 are .

Edit ...
It does not look like you were away that long.

And the GB from Lazeerer of the 3.8mm 650nm diodes with a power higher than LPC815/826.
