Hey I was looking at getting a green laser.. Does anyone know if the 1 plus watt 520 has good divergence? I want a bright laser but I also want good divergence. Any help is appreciated.
So what diode would be best for divergence? Is there a 520 that reigns king for being able to carry a visible beam longest?
I think any 520 around that power level will have roughly the same poor beam specs. You'd really need a single mode for good beam specs, but then it won't be nearly as powerful. If you really want a good beam that goes FAR, look around for a higher power 532nm DPSS.

JetLasers sells some higher power ones that would destroy any typical 520nm diode in distance of beam visibility.

RIV>TY for posting that-- the 1W Pro=Ple ($450) is awesome. & gets better w/ optional matching (blk) JL 10X BE ($90)....specs at jl.org are accurate.
the one I have in hand from 'Free ship' GB ....it may become available..
I ship only CONUS- track/ins $15.

Edit: Of course, beam specs can be fixed with more complicated optics. You said "get" not "make" though, so I'm not sure you're wanting to do that.
What diode will shoot a visible beam the farthest? That's what I am wanting to know... Doesn't matter what color or nm. Just want a good visible beam that will go for miles
Ok so if I wanted to shine a laser across a big lake... What laser (preferably green) would still have a visible beam on the other side? Sorry I'm having trouble explaining lol.. Is there a paticular green laser that would do this best?
