The idea for this thread came a couple weeks ago while photographing my new (to me) 473nm labby. I thought it'd be fun to compile a thread of pictures showing rare, exotic, or uncommon wavelengths. The only "rule" is that any photo posted must contain one or more "rare, exotic, or uncommon" wavelength which I've defined as anything that isn't one of the following common wavelengths:
405
445/447
532
635 that is under 10mw (since 5mw diodes can be bought for 3-4 bucks)
650/660
There are two exceptions to the above.
1. it's in the same photo as a rare/exotic. i.e. a rainbow containing a 589nm.
2. It's being used as a comparison. i.e. a 473 being compared to a 445.
My two contributions aren't exactly rare or exotic but fairly uncommon to most people. If flickr is being stupid and the images don't show up try a "super reload" which depending on your browser is either shift-reload or alt (option on a Mac)-reload. That will fix it 99% of the time.

7mw 473nm and 2mw 543.5nm.

473 and 543.5nm with a couple of my other builds in the background.

I think I have some more somewhere. Need to dig through my TBP folder in Aperture.
