Just as the title says, looking for a purple laser!

Basically, one that looks very similar to this. I don't know if it's possible but it looks INCREDIBLE.

At the very least, this is a small advertisement for Blord, who made this laser (it's a blue laser but purple in the picture).

lol I hope you have at least asked blord if he can sell you one, also do you want an actual purple 405nm? or a blue 445nm?

This one in particular was already sold, I just happened to see it and loved it, and it was purple by accident in the picture, the real laser was blue 445mw so it came out super bright purple. I'm assuming that purple doesn't show up that well, so getting one to look like this might not be possible unless super high wattage.

Cameras often have a high pass filter on them to cut off the low wavelengths around 415nm and lower. To compensate they "correct" wavelengths below about 460nm as purple instead of the blue the eye sees. That is why many 445/450's show up as purple/violet in photos.

A high power 405nm laser will look very close to that picture's beam color to a normal person's eye. Below about 200mW it will look more gray than purple though.

Oh, and I'd see if Blord can make you a 12x S0J6 around 500mW before looking elsewhere. His lasers are top notch works of art.
