    Sanwu 505nm Pocket

    For public info / archives: Repaired/disassembled a Sanwu Pocket 505nm 50mW today. Driver is using the LT1931 Inverting DC/DC Converter, which was faulty and overheating on this board, causing a blink after long runtimes. Their driver seems to be set to 400mA CC at the diode. They are using a...

    Jlasers - NUBM0C

    Wow! This diode is incredible. Not in power, but in wavelength. Not to mention this diode is a brute, taking a whopping 7.7 Amps before folding back to 50mW. 470nm at 5.0A 473nm at 6.5A 475nm at 6.8A Finally, at 7.7A, this diode emits a GORGEOUS 480.7nm blue :O To my eyes, this was a stunning...

    Sky Blue LD Tests

    Here is a sweet little graph between Nichi@'s 465nm diode lineup, comparing the 07, 0C and 0G in terms of power and color. It's interesting to note that the 0C is able to take much more abuse, therefore have a more dramatic wavelength shift all the way up to 480nm at 7.7A !

    JLasers - NUBM49

    Another diode test for y'all! Haven't seen many posts about this diode so decided to test one for myself This one is nothing too special in terms of power, peaking at just under 7W with TEC cooling to maintain 21C BUT, with it's amazing divergence, this diode would make an amazing burner...
