Today. 594nm Showed Up.

[Gabe]

I have an iPhone 5c and a 593.5, but it's only 2-9mW. I can post a picture tonight if you want

Please do, thanks!

 

[Gabe]

the one in the dark is pretty accurate

Thanks Gabe, it appears that my Spartan is indeed emitting at 593.5nm.

No problem, certainly a weird laser you have there then :na:

I think I have a video on my YouTube comparing the two, not sure. Please click the link in my signature.

Or here's a pic.

That's awkward, my 589nm laser looks more like the 593.5nm lasers in your pictures. It has a very distinct orangeish tint.

Here's another photo just to make things even more confusing, this IMO is an accurate rendition of my 593.5nm. :thinking:
To me it looks a lot like gabes last photo.

 

[Atomicrox]

It looks like that, not like the yellower pictures I've seen around here. Maybe I should spectro my 589nm.. wonder if it's underspec because it's actually lasing 593.5nm.

But then again pictures aren't much use to compare lasers.

 

[BowtieGuy]

That would be sweet, 37mW to 58mW of 593.5nm, you couldn't call it underspec any more!

 

[trencheel303]

Looking again at my pic above, the 589 does look too "lemon yellow". But, you can still see that there is, nonetheless a difference between them.

If anyone has a low pressure sodium lamp handy, that'll help sort the conundrum. A 589 will look an identical colour to its light whereas a 594 will look yellow orange next to it.

 

[Atomicrox]

Indeed I'd be very pleased with it
Gotta find one of those lamps.

If all these Spartans are indeed 593.5nm(unlikely), then DragonLasers has been practically giving these away. I mean, 50mW's of "593.5" for $500? A bargain :crackup:

Only in this hobby will paying $500 for a yellow light be considered a 'bargain' :crackup:

Yes! :beer:

It's definitely 593.5nm. Either that, or my diffraction grating is a liar. :beer:
