Is there any source for 561nm pointers?

I saw a few group buys regarding these, but it looks like they ran into customs problems and CNI won't even ship <5mw lasers into the US now. I guess these are pretty much unobtainium unless dragonlasers decides to start selling them?

CNI would be the only source, yes.

I don't think DragonLasers, LaserGlow or any other reseller will start selling them. 532nm works just fine and most consumers won't want to spend $300+ for another greenish-yellow, plus there isn't a huge demand(kind of like yellow).

You could try to order a module from CNI. I helped laserman121 with his!

AFAIK CNI is not making any more but it would not hurt to ask.

Yeah, it does seem like there wouldn't be a big demand for these unfortunately. Unless you're into collecting unusual wavelengths there probably aren't many people who would pay 10x what a Lyra costs to go from a bright green color to a slightly yellowish green. These sort of have the same problem that the laserglow rigel 593.5 has competing with the spartan. For $20 more, you can go from a .6-2mw 593.5nm laser to a 589nm 50mw laser.

ASAIK CNI is not making any more but it would not hurt to ask.

Well that makes me kinda sad. Variety is always nice even if it's not particularly practical or in demand.

i can go and dig up some module for you.... there's a cni retailer here in Australia... what do you need?

Edited: the price for 20mw+ of 556nm/561nm is $720 USD......
80mw+ of 589nm is $500..
and 20mw of 593.5 is $420

CNI will sell you a module, it just won't be in pointer form. Knowing full well that I'm an American and plan to use it in a portable host, they quoted me $350 earlier this week for a 593.5nm module.

hahhaha so true...

-how many mw is the 593.5nm module that they quoted you?

i receive a quote for 20mw of 593.5nm for $420 from one of their reseller here in Australia.

 

[Chicxulub]

I was asking for a 5mW.

We have GOT to find a member on LPF who could make all the wavelengths we wanted! *dreams*

Oh look, a 100mW 488nm DPSS from Isaac

*$2000 for 100mw+ of 495nm*
*i may have to dig up the price for 488nm dpss* diode price was $1799 the last time i checked....

 

[RB astro]

there's a cni retailer here in Australia...

Which CNI dealer in Aust are you referring to ?
Is there only one?

Wow, that's not bad! $420 for 20mW's of 593.5

hahaha... after all they have surplus amount of modules..
