There's a company called Berlin Lasers that is selling a single-mode 445 nm laser diode that they say can go up to 1.6 watts: https://berlinlasers.com/445nm-single-mode-blue-laser-diode
I'm guessing it's just a mistake and that they simply put it on the wrong page, but I'm curious to see what...
I know this is quite an old thread, but it looks like the question has been answered. Zraffleticket and rajhlinux have found that the diodes used in the BDR-209 drives are of Sony make. Here's the datasheet for those curious: https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/905921/SonyCorporation/SLD3237VF/1...
Glad I'm not the only one!
I did once write to Wicked Lasers to suggest that they sell the Spyder I Pro host to hobbyists who want to assemble their own lasers. Although they liked the idea, I guess the demand wasn't high enough.
Nice collection, by the way. :D
One thing I noticed is that the most popular lasers today have fancy-looking designs that resemble lightsabers and Gatling guns. However, I've always preferred the simplicity of CNI-style lasers. Although I already have the now-discontinued Spyder I Pro from Wicked Lasers — which actually looks...
I realize this is an old thread but have been wondering about this too. It does look like CNI has stopped making handheld lasers (even Class IIIa laser pointers) altogether because they no longer appear in the catalog as of early 2020. Even resellers like Optotronics and Dragon Lasers have been...
I realize this is a very old post but wanted to share my latest findings. The good news is that Soraa has been developing laser diodes during all this time. The reason their official website didn't say anything about lasers is that the R&D was being done by a spin-off company called SLD Laser...
