FS: Bunch of stuff - 473nm ONLY $150 - Hosts - Argon

RHD got his diode to hit 476.5nm @ 2.9A.

Mine's running at 472nm @ 2.4A and it's identical to 473nm. I kinda doubt you can underdrive a 488nm diode to 473nm. Or 480nm. Maybe 485nm...

If anyone has a ~100mW 473nm I'd be more interested, but still, a PL-E for $150... hmm

473 no longer pending and is back up for sale--

Pic on the 473? Is the 650 still pending? If not, pic for that too.

The 650 is still pending; but I have two pictures of the 473 already taken. Lemme know if you want to see any more of it.

Not to be a pain, but night (beam) shot? Would like to see the color better. thanks.

And am I missing something? You rate a 473 at 15-30 mW in your sig, yet your chart shows a peak of 19 mW only for an instant and an avg of 8.4 mW. Is this the same laser as in your sig?

The power on a 473nm DPSS fluctuates a LOT... the unit being cold or hot may mean 30mW or 0mW

^ Sums it up. This one likes it warm. As in, don't stick this in fridge and expect it to do something.

I can make a run and have it peak 2mW, stick it outside for a few minutes, run it again and hit 25mW. It's all in temperature, and I haven't really used it enough to learn its preferences.

Here's some more shots of it using the camera that discerns color properly

(vs ~2W 472 for kicks)

Thanks for the pics. It's a great color, but I will have to pass.

I read the in depth review done back in 2013 (http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/jetlasers-pro-pl-e-473-depth-review-83981.html) and I looked at your chart again. It took 20 min to warm up to 8 mW. That's a bit long. Othere than that, it is a great deal, just not for me.
