Trying to inquire information about beam expanders, help?

$4000, sounds about right. I like that Thorlabs list prices

Broke my heart when I found a 60mW 488nm diode, I was so happy. $2300. :wtf:

Haha right! I wish I knew someone in the area with one of these, could you imagine how awesome a review would be?!

WOW!! $2300?!? But 488 is that perfect baby blue color I'd LOVE to see a beam from that diode! Was it 2300 Canadian? Because right now that'd be $1650 USD.

I hope it jumps down in price like all the other diodes have.

EDIT: was it the PLT5 488?

Yeap, PLT5 488. $2,300 American, that's over $3,200 Canadian pesos

For only 60mW! No thanks.

Yeah, and I can't seem to find any other companies that look trustworthy and list the price. 5.6mm single mode, wavelength goes up with the temperature. Oh man me want.

for another $800 you can buy an awesome 5W full color pure diode sealed TECed projector AND Pangolin Beyond Essentials soft ($1500 for that alone)plus cables AND Pelican Case from Pangolin.(orlando)
