O-Like offering BOTH Osram direct greens






I see a 30mW and a 50mW diode, but they both say 520nm. The datasheet below says the 30mW one is 515nm, typo maybe?
 
Well if you do research on these, Osram (on their site) has 2 variants. the PL515 and PL520; 30mW and 50mW respectively. I believe that's what we're dealing with here. I wouldn't mind grabbing the 30mW variant and running some test on it next week, but I don't have any sensor equipment, so it'd just be visually comparing it to my PL520.

Though maybe not, working with Sam on a project between the two of us that we're both interested in. There will be pictures up next week :whistle:

Hint: May or may not be HeNe related :whistle:

Yep the 30mW version is rated 515nm and the 50mW 520nm.
 
A 515nm laser would be a nice addition to my wavelength collection. It is just a matter of time I am going to order the diode. :)
 
Guys...The links go to the same page. It seems to be, according to the datasheet, that the 520 is the nominal wavelength, with 515 being the low and 530nm being the high.

Am I looking at this wrong? Nowhere in the links is the PL515 mentioned...Or, have I just not had enough coffee?

It seems to me to be just like the Osram PLTB 450, with a swing of apx 10nm either way, depending on temperature, etc..
 
There are 2 different data sheets...

Second link fixed.

Hey Blord, if you buy 5 I will probably be in for one(assuming you don't want all of them)
 
Whoops! Totally didn't realize there were two seperate threads haha. My bad.
