635nm has a rough "beam profile", Gun.
Beautiful color tho.

My 635 single mode has a lovely profile

Isn't that 638? or am I confused?! I could have been gone too long also!

I have ordered a 120mW 638nm single mode build from Blord, can't wait to get it!

 

[Laik]

I can't wait for you to get it as well

Which one do you like more things, 473 or 488?

Hard to tell, 488nm would probably win though, I love the cyan colour. Only seen 488nm from my argon laser a few times.

I actually really like the combination of wavelengths from the argon laser, just a shame it's EOL and so expensive/noisy to run.

ML argon, 473nm, 445nm

488nm is the brightest blue dot here:

Nice set of descriptive pictures, Things! 488nm just seems sooooo "tropical"...?

808 can look awesome.....at least on film.

I voted 593.5, I've always loved that golden yellow. I have yet to see 589 though to see how big that difference is.

What output is that laser? That's a pretty sweet pic!

It was a 500mW 808nm pen.

I voted for 589! I have seen it once in my life, and it is so frickin amazing!!! WOuld also might have voted for 473, but it wasn't on the list

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!

Well I originally voted for 532, but the truth is that since I got the 589 i am just facinated by the color.

I'm pretentious, so I prefer to spell many words in the Queen's English. One does not simply choose a favourite colour when using the loo in hospital while on holiday at the harbour.

Where in the harbour would one find a hospital, wherein one might relieve oneself in the loo of, especially during one's holiday?

 

[scumbagatheist]

Clearly, sir, one must find oneself a favourable harbour, indeed.
