Oclaro/USHIO 120mW Single Mode 638 Diodes (HL63603TG)

[ChaosLord]

found the price, and I think DTR is trying to put me in the poor farm with the RBG combo!!!

Heh, yeah, i went to his site after getting my Krytons for a 9mm, and wanted to cry when i saw that. If i hadn't already got both the osrams, i would have done it.

 

[IsaacT]

Same haha. I bought both osrams and then this deal went up.

well I think im going to have to jump on these!! I've got one Groove going to Mrcrouse as we speak to have a copper 3.8 module press fit as we speak. might have to send him another 2.

Sorry guys have been out all day. I would recommend the x-drive for these as you can run them off a single Li-ion due to the low dropout on the driver. Plus Cliff just happens to have some in stock that are set to the perfect current.:beer:

Thanks for doing this test! I already have one of these coming in the mail from you.

 

[Smeerworst]

Ah okay, that sounds about right. I had similar results with my 650.

Would be so cool to have this single mode 638nm diode in the same host you sold to me

Cheers, Sm.

Well...I do have an extra blacked out C6. I am about to build a 638 SH032 laser, I can grab an extra diode an build a C6 638nm Laser at the same time...up to you

Yes please do

With the same focus adapter aswell, would be lovely, and willing to pay you a bit more for your kindness.

Cheers, Sm. :wave:

 

[IsaacT]

Sent you a PM.

 

[Smeerworst]

What current would you like it ran at?

:thanks:

 

[IsaacT]

Hey Smeerworst I bought two of the 638nm diodes and they arrived today, as did the drivers. I am still waiting on your host/heatsink to arrive from mohgasm, so I cannot finish yours at the moment, but I did throw one of the diodes in a host I had waiting for it(Aurora SH032 from Cheech226) and with 290mA driver and Glass Lens for Red Diodes it does ~160mW. Hopefully the mohgasm order ships soon so I can finish up everything(Just waiting on hosts).

That's the best news i heard today

Thank you for sharring it, keeping me updated.
I appriciate it allot :beer:

I saw your beamshots of the 638nm diodes, and it sure looks nice!
Is it comparable with what we see with the 450nm diode's from 0sram ?

Cheers, Sm and thank you!

 

[IsaacT]

It is a cleaner dot in my opinion. Both the PL450 and PL520 look like a circle the has had two of its sides leveled a bit. These diodes are a perfect circle.

edit: Revised chart.

 

[Livinloud]

Nice work but IMO current should have been on the x-axis and power on the y-axis. with the plot point method, it makes it really hard to figure out the current that connects with the power

Are these guys case isolated - these could be good to run in series off a flexmod P3 or similar for single mode 400-440mw in a projector - tonnes easier than knifing two G71's and then correcting them. All it'd take to combine these is a PBS cube.
