Here's something new. A 2.5 watt 639nm Mitsubishi laser diode in a TO-9 case for $245.00. I think this will be able to be driven higher than the listed power. Maybe the price will come down in a few months. Mitsubishi ML562G84 639nm 2500mW Oranger Red Laser Diode TO9 1 Pcs | eBay
Edit: I had a typo in the listing. sorry.
