LASERGLOW finally started to sell 447nm lasers

Actually, the shutter and the optics make me really consider this. hmm...

Do this. I am going to measure my PGL again and we can compare divergence&diamter.

Slicing of the beam would not actually work. The long axis of the beam profile at distance is the short axis at the aperture. It diverges faster, exactly because it's smaller at aperture. So if you cut the beam at aperture (make it square), at distance it will make line which is same length, just thinner.

it annoys me when they call it 447nm -_-

Why? Diode based laser systems (DPSS not included) are rated +/-10nm because as the heat up or cool down they change wavelength.

 

[TTerbo]

well fair enough its just annoying for me to see 445-447 switching around all the time

So do you think they are using the projector diodes, and just slicing off most of the beam?

I don't think I'm at liberty to discuss that. Intellectual property, trade secrets and whatnot.

We've determined that the central wavelength at standard temperature is closer to 447 nm, not 445 nm. Admittedly, the difference is somewhat academic since it does vary with temperature, but since all of our other diode lasers are rated at standard temperature this is more consistent and therefore more correct.

That sounds like a reverse-engineering CHALLENGE to me. :eg:

If that's scientific mumbo-jumbo for "Break sh*t into pieces to find out", count me in!

 

[More Power]

Thats pretty expensive sh*t

You're free to do what you want with them, but if I see one returned to us in pieces I'll know who did it!
