    Default Corrected 170mw 638nm diodes-USA only

    I contacted blue sky to see what it would cost to do a run of microlensed opnext red diodes. They are $200.00 each plus the diode cost. The minimium run is 5 diodes. I'm doing 10 diodes. Anyone else want in? The agreement states these can't leave the USA.

    I should have asked if they could do the blues? Wonder if that might clean them up. ( I checked and they said the beam would still suck so forget blue)

    What are the beam specs once they are lensed?

    The beam is circular after correction. I've never seen a diode that was corrected so I really don't know. The beam is suppost to be fantastic. However minimium order is 5 diodes to find out. i sent an email to find out. I wish the cost was more like $100.00 extra to do the work on the diodes. This makes each diode about $500.00. Now mind you 1600mw of perfect corrected red would be something to see.

    No offence meant here but surely you want an elliptical beam if you want to stack them?

    @Doc.... depends on how many you want to stack ! with one in the middle and a Tscope might give a nice result and you could still double with a PBS If not I can't see how kecked is going to get "1600mw of perfect corrected red " (always assuming that the "opnexts" in question are really only 170mw each.)

    Cheers
