Green Laser power vs. Blue laser power.

I have a question, Why is it that blue lasers seem to be the most powerfull lasers and greens and reds fall way bahind?
Isn't there 2 or 3 Watts green lasers?

Well those prices are unreal, at least for a hobby.

You can get some 20W OEMs from laserglow:https://www.laserglow.com/R53#

You have to request a quote to get the price. I'm thinking over $20,000.

Or you can get a 45W green here:https://www.laserglow.com/W53#

Money. Its easier, and cheaper to create high power blues than high power greens or reds. So naturally you'll see more high power blues than anything else.

It's about commercialization. Blues were some of the most expensive, then the brand we shall not name came out with projectors using 24 blue diodes.
But after reading, I see I didn't really answer your question.

You can get all powers in most colors.... Money is the key factor, in which case I revert you to my opening paragraph.

Oh well it really doesn't matter much, I just like the green a bit better because it is more visible in daylight, other than that any laser will do the trick. Now I have a red low power, a green medium power and will soon have a high power blue. Than we shall see what else can I get my hands on.
