I'm willing to trade a 445 9mm, or potentially an M462, or potentially something else, depending on what you have.

In general, I'm looking for a single mode 520 (PL520 ?) and 638 (HL63133DG ?).

Re: Looking for a Single Mode 520nm Green PL520

I don't have one for you, but to clarify, you mean the 50mW PL520 right?
 
Why dont you get them from DTR, it will be cheaper than a doing swaps for more expensive diodes? :thinking:

Hes currently selling the 520s for $ 49 and the Oclaro 170mW is $ 65. I just bought exactly these two diodes for a yellow build...

Edit: Heres a sneak preview...:shhh:

A first surface mirror and a PHR turning mirror trans green and reflect red. Im almost there with the yellow dot, but its not quite perfect. The alignment really is a b***h;)

Ya, I might do that if I have to, but I'd rather not spend money, and I have lots of 9mm 445s, so I don't mind the imbalanced trade in someone else's favour. I'd be happy to trade 2x 9mm 445s for one of each diode (and someone else ends up $16 ahead of the game).
 
rhd I have a 87 mw 520 in a kryton grove that I would trade for a 462 or even a couple of 445

Hmmm, the diode would be great, assuming it's single mode, but I have no use for the kryton (and truthfully, am not really a fan of that host).
 
I bought some PL520 single mode diodes and I am not as impressed with them as I thought they would be, they still have a very pronounced rectangle output. Focusing them down will turn them into such a bright spot you can no longer see that shape, but it's still there, just smaller.

What diode did you buy? (Link)
