What would you like to see in Swimmin's shop?

Blu rays are blu rays ahahaha 405s. They're pretty cool! Hmm a 5mW 445nm that's not a bad idea if it is actually possible

Well I was wondering, because it was my understanding that both 405nm and 445nm have both been referred to as "Blu ray".... And I also thought 445 was blue, while 405 was almost purple, and pretty hard to see. Me personally, I like the blue lasers.

Whatever wavelength they are, if it is a blue beam (not purple-ish).... I am interested!

Lowest I've seen with an a140 is ~20-30mW Would be kind of like having a porsche and never going above 25 though imho.

Not me. I'm a chronic speeder:na:

haha
not to mention the cost of a fully functional 1.2W diode being only driven at 25mw

Everytime I get a rental car, I beat the crap out of it. I got pulled over once in a rental, the cop looks at me with a deadpan face and asks "Why does your car smell like it's burning?"

Me, with equally deadpan face "Must be something wrong with it, it's a rental.":eg:

I did get a speeding ticket for going more than double over the limit

(Good thing I slowed down at least somewhat before he clocked me on radar, otherwise it would have been more than three times as fast:tinfoil

Edit: Moral of the story, have powerful diode, will use

What kind of mw output are we talking about on the blu-rays, because your gonna barely be able to see the beam at a low power and is there anyway for you to sell a cheap maybe 200-300mw 445? like without using a 1.2watt diode? because id definately be interested in one of those, as would many beggining laserists i think!

 

[flyingjackal456]

He already confirmed it is a 405nm which is a blue-purple color.... That's a good question jaybob. My guess is it will be like the over spec greenies he sells (40-70 mW).

Sadly it is harder to see 405nm, so it will not seem as bright as the green lasers.

 

[blue bumblebee]

well, you can do cool tricks with it!
like with glow in the dark board
and if you shine it on a white jacket or shirt, it gets twice as bright!

 

[Thefoodman52]

I'd buy at least 2 super spec 405's. Just saying.

 

[andreamans]

Yeah I would like an overspec green that is good looking like the black and gold, and a keychain green or keychain violet (possibly overspec).

 

[TheReddish]

I voted greens, but about 445nm is their not a single mode that would to about 70mw or is my brain foggy.

People always need safety glasses, why not carry some for different nm, it would be a good idea :thinking:

do what lol, I was talking about the talk in this thread about a140s low power, like, why if their is a single mode 445nm diode? it ok I just got some coffee in me and its early so I don't know if I was confusing, or confused.
