I have a concept product that I'm about to prototype and I was wondering what sort of interest level there would be.
Some details:
600mw +-50mw (will be rated depending on how the proto goes) red module.
Diecast aluminium housing, TEC cooled.
Decent beam specs, at an estimate, about 3-4mm diameter <1.5mrad, could be a lot better
TEC cooled and temperature regulated. Analog / TTL / CW, option for slim battery pack to make portable, otherwise DC power input.
For those of you interested no I'm not overdriving small diodes or anything, two open can diodes under TEC cooling should by my calculating be able to manage 600mw combined output. (beamcube)
The cost. By my current parts cost list I forecast between $350 and $450 per unit. If there is a LOT of interest (10+) it might become a GB to get the costs a little lower.
There would be a warranty too, probably 3-6 months.
This is only a concept at the moment. I am aware of the technical issues involved in such a thing.
I'm looking for constructive criticism, comments / suggestions, and expressions of interest if such a product comes to existance.
