that's a lot of red

i was excited to hear about the new mitsubishi 635 diodes especially after reading some data on how bright they could be driven. i had been eyeing jayrob's stainless rl-118 host and thought this would go great with the 635 diode.
i decided on an 800ma current and a copper heat sink. got my diode from dtr and it arrived quick quick.
jay does some fine work on his kits and i had no trouble putting all together.
someone said this diode makes a 445 look single mode.
they were right!
the beam kinda sucks but i have grown to love it.

i really have to buy a camera. here's some pix with my blackberry. the blue laser is a 445 at 350mw. it blends with the 635 nice

Very nice.

Yeah i think we could say they output incoherent light

 

[cheech226]

well it isn't that bad...

Nice build

Btw, it's 445-447nm, not 455

 

[DTR]

Great build. The RL-118 is an amazing looking host. Stainless steel all the way around even the clicky.:beer:

Saw your pictures with the 445 and the 635 running at the same time. The purple color they make together is awesome.

Do we have a >500mW +/-635nm unit with a corrected beam around yet?

Nope. But I'm Not 100% Sure.

infinitus is selling one from jetlasers, i think its a corrected C-mount though.
