Sharp GH04955A2G/ The New 495nm diodes

[ZRaffleticket]

Next time... man this is frustrating. Thank you Paul

My Nano Boost Driver is scheduled to show up tomorrow. I have a Pico Boost driver from astralist that I set up for 300 mA, but the inductor runs hot on it, so I decided to wait. If my driver from Jordan doesn't show up tomorrow, I may go ahead and use the Pico Boost driver.

 

[Singlemode Laser]

So here are my results of my 20 diodes I ordered: First row is a gaussian fit to a linear scale and the second row is the wl of the highest peak:


#01 493.30 ||| 493.28
#02 495.10 ||| 495.12
#03 494.25 ||| 494.24
#04 494.86 ||| 494.88
#05 494.40 ||| 494.40
#06 495.00 ||| 495.00
#07 494.78 ||| 494.76
#08 494.66 ||| 494.68
#09 494.81 ||| 494.80
#10 494.84 ||| 494.84
#11 494.26 ||| 494.24
#12 494.57 ||| 494.60
#13 494.61 ||| 494.60
#14 494.65 ||| 494.60
#15 494.85 ||| 494.84
#16 494.89 ||| 494.88
#17 494.98 ||| 494.96
#18 494.80 ||| 494.80
#19 494.70 ||| 494.68
#20 494.90 ||| 494.92


I will keep the bold marked ones for myself and sell the rest in a seperate thread. Any questions?

Jordans site says he's been down with the flu but he is getting orders out now, also his ebay store has been closed since his vacation, hopefully he is feeling better now so I would wait an extra day or two as today is MLK jr. day.

I'd also be interested in one. Let me know if there are any left over.

 

[Alaskan]

i already have one, only want another after the members who don't have one yet get a chance.

That's great, Singlemode. Looks like your batch was close to the ones I measured. Good luck with your sale.....but, you really won't need it as these are becoming very popular here.

Jordans site says he's been down with the flu but he is getting orders out now, also his ebay store has been closed since his vacation, hopefully he is feeling better now so I would wait an extra day or two as today is MLK jr. day.

I didn't even think about today being a postal holiday. I think mine got hung up in the snow storm. Maybe it will arive tomorrow. :thanks:

 

[paul1598419]

I got my diodes in yesterday and my driver from Jordan today. Yippie! I contacted the members who have diodes coming and, now, hope to build one 495nm laser. :wave:

Paul would any of those happen to be unspoken for? Ive been waiting/wishing for a good deal to pop up on one of these to show up on ebay or dtrs shop but no such luck so far. I think i remember u saying you live in north tacoma? I live on the eastside so if u have any youd be willing to part with i could meet ya somewhere local for a sale and maybe we could grab a quick beer and chat about photons and geek shit for a few?

Hi Paul,
Sent a PM and posted about the set screws let me know before 6:00AM EST and i can send them 2nd day. Or if you can get them from a hardware store let me know. They are either 6-32 x 1/8 or 4-40 X 1/8 .Had a few jobs on the bench and sometimes things get crazy.

I wish I did, but these are terribly popular right now and all I had to sell are gone. I know that Singlemode Laser has some he is planning on selling. Your best bet is to send him a PM and see if all of his have been snatched up yet. Had you contacted me last week I could have helped you. :yabbem:

Hi, Rich. I am not getting around as well as I'd like and I would hate trying to run around town looking for something that might fit. It is smaller than any other 501B set screw I've seen. I don't even know what size allen wrench it would take. I sent you a PM. Thank you.

 

[badboybilly]

I couldn’t find pinout for these diodes on sharps site, would someone be kind enough to post a pic please!

 

[RedCowboy]

Billy, those are some good looking units. :gj:

What diode is in this beauty and is it for sale?

 

[badboybilly]

There all sold sorry mate, Just examples of some of my custom builds, That particular one was a 7w NUBM44, Very hevy RB is know the lucky owner!

I have something very nice for sale soon! Keep an eye out!

Hi 18LJ, you can do Paul a solid and bring him a set screw
And yes Paul is a wealth of info:beer: but just so you know:shhh: he doesn't like American beer....

Sure, they are a case neutral TO-18 5.6mm diode that has the same pin out as an M140.
