Laserglow  Vega-5 Vega-10 Rigel
Thats all i know about them. Wavelengh is 593.5nM
Rigel 299$ others is much more.

Only for collections.
 
Yellows from Laserglow:

Vega series: [ftp]http://laserglow.com/index.php?vega[/ftp]

Rigel[ftp]http://laserglow.com/index.php?rigel[/ftp]

Orange from DragonLasers [ftp]http://www.dragonlasers.com/catalog/Orange-Laser-Pointer-price0-p-1-c-267.html[/ftp]

What I can recommend is to wait buying blue/yellow/orange until they are higher power and alot cheaper.

Blues will get better eventually, yes. But what is going to make orange/yellow any cheaper anytime in the near future? There aren't any market forces pushing for yellow or orange for any application other than hobbyists, and hobbyists aren't going to change the price of anything by themselves.

Well there isn't much use for green lasers ether. (other than hobbists) Green lasers used to cost about 100X what they cost now. I'm sure overtime the price for blues will go down, just the same.


...and as the lasers get cheaper, you suddenly get more people buying them.
 
Blue will certainly get better, because they are wanted/needed for RGB projectors, just the same as green is needed for RGB. Green is also the peak visible wavelength that is brighter and easier to see. Orange/yellow isn't as visible, has no future application in optical storage or video projection, and it more difficult to make than green is anyway.

Thats yellow. Orange is 635nm. And is not that expensive. But you'll have to build one your self. They come in 5.6mm cans though.

Greens are in high demand in light shows for obvious reasons

Totally not true! Ever heard of a Ti-Sapphire laser? Big deal in the science/research world, although the money involved keeps us hobbyists from hearing much of them. 532nm is the preferred pump source. That's just one of MANY examples.

Ever see 593.5nm in real life? Looks orange. 635nm? looks red. Compare 635nm to 660nm and you can see its definitely more orange tinted, but if you were to pull random people off the street and show them 593.5nm and 635nm lasers, I'd bet good money a vast majority would deem them orange and red respectively.
