Which one would you hail too?

[NightExplorer96]

Another flash of curiosity has hit me, that means time for another poll about

Which one would you pick?
Note: "Duty cycles" in this vote do not exist, nor does Pricing!!! You get 1 for free :evil: Just want to see which one would you love to own.


- 500mW 473nm
- 100mW 488nm
- 5W 532nm
- 150mW 556nm
- 300mW 593.5nm
- 1mW 650nm <------------- :wtf:


Let's see which one wins!!!

 

[Npglaserer]

5,000 mW of 532 is just too good to pass up.

Maybe it would look like this: :lasergun:

Haha, most likely!

Thanks for voting bud.

 

[Zeebit]

Which one would I hail to? I'm glad you asked.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Ears and Eggs]

I voted 593.5. Probably my favorite known wavelength so far. 488 would be a close second. Then 473. 556 I've never seen, so I don't really know how to rank that.

5W of 532 is more power than I'm really comfortable with and 1mW of 650 is just boring.

 

[ARG]

100mW of 488nm sounds like a beefy Argon to me. :drool:

Haha, yes :wave:

 

[Ears and Eggs]

Hmm, if any of them other than the red were a portable I'd probably choose that over some large gas or labby.

I have a 100mW 488nm so I am going to go with option "g", 1W 589nm.

1W of 589nm would sure look awfully nice, but imagine the price on a beauty like that

589 is a beautiful amber/sunset colour, my HeNe has this wavelength. With 1 W you can't put your hand in front of it or look at the spot (if you like your eyes the way they are, that is).

And I think 589 is nice to play with, so I prefer a more gentle beam. I mean, even a few mW's can still transmit millions of signals simultaneously.

5 W of 532 is probably most useful for pointing in night sky (it's most visible to human eye).

Voted 300mW of 593.5nm .... But 500mW 473nm would be nice .. if only you said it was Q switched xD , Seem over 2W green , so 5W isn't anything too special .

Wish 671nm DPSS was a option , such a lovely dark red colour ..

 

[BowtieGuy]

I would have to go with the 593.5nm. After seeing 150+ mW of 589nm, I think double that amount of 593.5nm would be spectacular!
A very close second place IMO, is the 500mW of 473nm.

 

[ZRaffleticket]

556nm, at least from what I've seen of 561nm would be a pretty hideous color.

488nm around that power would be nice in a handheld...

 

[Down with Umbrella]

488nm around that power would be nice in a handheld...

I agree but only in a hand held would I choose that over the others.

 

[crazyspaz]

I know several of those wavelengths exist in diode form from Nichia, and I know Soraa had yellow diodes at one point but who knows what wavelength those were.

I voted 556 though. It was a toss up between 556 and 593.5, i voted 556 simply because less people will see that color as opposed to 593.5
