Hi everyone i finally manged to save up for my dream laser diode the nichia nda7175 a 478nm 1w 9mm laser diode i cant wait to get this built in a host i will post pics once completed.

Sweet! Thats is a gorgeous diode! I've got a 477nm laser but its only 20mW lol yours is sure to impress. Where did you get it? I've never seen that model number before.

Very nice. If I may ask, how much did that dent the ole wallet and can you get any more ?

I can get more but the cost was very high.

If they're binned at 478 there might be a few here that would take the plunge. Gorgeous color!

Ah yeah the diodes that are used in space price is solid 3-4.5K USD congrats on your purchase!

I would've opted for NDS7175 for that sweet 488nm 2W

Thank you.

Here is the NDS7175, the slightly longer wavelength version. I wonder what the back-order time frame would be. The price is a bit eye watering but what an incredible laser it would be!

That diode is the same price i paid for the nda7175 i got it cheaper than that in the pic i went with the 478nm diode because 488nm is a bit to green for me unless you get a 483nm-484nm the beam on that 2w laser would be awsome tho.

I mean, 483-484nm IS within the +/-5nm factory bins.

I see 488nm as just a light blue but 493nm definitely has some green tint to it. I love both so any wavelength that the NDS7175 can produce would be gorgeous in my opinion.

Sweet honey barbeque that is amazing! I need that in my life, what an amazing color and power!

I would love to know the wavelength, its amazing!

Did you measure the output power? Was wondering if you got a solid watt or even more out of it.

I'm sure the pics don't do it justice, my sharp 488's have a lot more sky-blue/teal color but again, cameras don't capture it all that well.
