It is Here.!!!!! 300mW "635nm" Mitsubishi.....

[InfinitusEquitas]

Wow... with a G1 you might well hit 500mW!

Great looking host btw, pics didn't do it justice.

 

[Eudaimonium]

Incredible. Breaking the Class IV limit, with 635nm red diode, for less than $70, in 5.6mm case?!

Where have I been for last 5 years of laser diode technology advancement?!

Alright. Off to order a pair. Or a full house.

 

[lazeerer]

Do you have a diffraction grating? You can use RHD's calculator to find the wavelength.

I do. I attempted but dint finish.

Hope So. Maybe with the 650-G1 I Just might Make it but with a 405-G1 which is all i have it will be close.

Thanks. I love this Host. I just made a Heatsink for it.:wave:

Its Pretty sweet. Regardless if it shifted its still Extremely Bright to look at.

Yes 5.6mm.

Iam with you. I have been fallowing 635nm for a wail and New about these, but dint expect them to be this soon. Lets hope to Correct the Beam. Then it will be Epic. "For a handheld of course":angel:

What do you mean "or a Full House"?

 

[Eudaimonium]

What do you mean "or a Full House"?

House full of diodes. My photoshop skillz are not that high, use you imagination.

Can you do me a favour? Is there a way for you to measure the diode's voltage at which it's drawing those 450+mA ?

So I can calculate the efficiency and aproximate the heat dissipation, see if I can't use this host:
www.rayfoss.com

A buddy of mine who will help me fund this always wanted a side momentary switch hosted reddie. Here's a perfect chance. I'll machine the hell out of it, make direct pressfit heatsink and all, I just want to know if it's remotely OK, if the diode is running too hot I'll find an alternative.

 

[Johnyz]

Alright, just ordered one too. Prototype of my buck driver will be set at 360mA... Now I just need to find a good host. Now that Mohrenberg quit it's pretty hard to find a good host for a good price...

LOL. Figured it out after you said it. 4am here right now and a little tired.:tired:

That host will be Just fine. especially what you plain on doing, Direct Press Heatsink etc. My 350mW LPC-826 Gets Hotter then this Guy.

You will be fine with any host thats a C3 or higher and still have a Good 1minute Duty Cycle or More.

First testing was done in a C3 Host Off camera and the Host got Barley warm after 1- 1/2 minutes.

But i will test for you tomorrow buddy when i go back into the shop.

Find the Host send me a PM. I can make you a heatsink.

Hmm I dunno, I've got a pair of C3s right here and uhh, I don't think I'd go any higher than your average 250mW LOC reddie in them. Depending on quality of heatsink, even that may be a bit too high.

But that host I've linked is 18650 sized, IIRC (will double check with their rep), so there should be no problems.

And, thank you very much Take care while measuring, would be a shame to see that diode go.

Ive got another Couple Coming.

Ill Let you know the Results tomorrow or in a Few Hours Since its already tomorrow.

No rush man, I can wait. Get some sleep, see you later

this thread gets better every time i check in!!!


good job guys (more specifically lazerer)

michael.

 

[DTR]

This is getting good. Hopefully several of the people I sent them to will be getting theirs today and have some more info.

 

[Helios]

I hope these turn out like the 445 in that they are bullet proof as well. Who knows maybe even capable of 500-600mW? The 445 were rated at 1000 and yet many people have been able to hit or come close to double that.

Bear in mind that these are rated at 300mW though. I don't think anyone pushed a 445 to over triple it's rating.

I wonder what ever happened with the supposed 500mW diodes though, or more importantly where these are coming from.

 

[DTR]

They are probably coming from the manufacturer or one of their suppliers as they come in a tray and the pins are completely unmolested.

 

[Elektrotechniker]

Sould we do a murder fund for these diodes?

 

[lazeerer]

^^^ Yes and Cyparagon Should be the Guy to do it. If he can.

He has a Spectrometer. As well as All the Other Proper Equipment needed.:wave:

Iam More concerned about WL shifting at higher power.

Iam In for 10$ to the Murder testing.:eg:

Who else is in.:wave:

Thanks Buddy.

Ps. You spelled my name Wrong.

Yes for sure. I just want someone with a Spectrometer to test one of these guys bad. Iam going to attempt today to see if i can check the WL myself here since iam off today.
