"c-mount" diodes?

[iroquois]

Is there anything fundamentally different with c-mount diodes, other than having better contact surface for cooling for such high power diodes?
I mean are they operated the same way?
Also, I used to think they are in the invisible range, but lately I found out there are 4W 650nm ones.

I only know about the diodes DTR and CNI sell and now I see there are more out there.
Any other powerful ones besides this, c-mount or not, I don't know about?

Found this:

C-mounts offer more power because they are usually made to be multimode, pumping with that or a simple 5.6mm diode is basically the same. C-mount diodes are just a diode type that uses several emitters to attain higher output. The construction of C-mount diodes is ideal for higher powers up to a few Watts. 5.6mm and 9mm diodes can also be multi-emitter diodes but not in as high powers as C-mounts, TO-3, or diode arrays...

Be careful, the search grinch might get you, I found it here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f54/dpss-vs-diode-laser-advantages-57544.html

Thanks.
I also read the thread you linked to.

And from the info I have so far it just seems c-mount design is better suited for cooling higher output, and everything else depends on each diode, c-mount, or not.
Is this right?

Then I'm wondering why I can't find any c-mount diode below 650nm.
