Lasers are usually a summer hobby for me. nothing better than sitting outside on a warm summer night with a beer in hand blasting photons into the sky.

Also 589nm DPSS systems that are both cheaper, more powerful and more stable than 593.5nm!

Yup
The first yellow balloon pop, Luke has a 700mW 405nm hand held and yes, the beams of >400mW 405nms are AWESOME!!!

Welcome back to the forum.
Things change quickly in the world of electronics. Give it another 6-8 months and we'll be seeing 1W 405nm's (quad layer)
