460nm diodes---Really?

[steve-o]

Nice lumia, Mindwaave. The 2-penny heatsinks are a hoot !! I've never seen that before. Any name, link or info on the 460 module from ebay ? I'd like to check it out. Maybe a freak 450nm diode running very warm or something (?)

I have a 460 blue taipan. Its a deep cobalt blue and works great with 532 and 650.
For me, I can only look at the 445 for a while. The 460 is great. I posted a video of mine on youtube. Look up opsl and 460.

i'll trade you craig for that taipan!

We have 460nm in all of our OPSL projectors. Its a much nicer and brighter blue that 445nm. Amazing what a difference it can make... but then that could just be just OPSL goodness!

Yeah, nice Too bad they're only 10,000000000billiontrillion times more expensive than a 445 diode build lol .. If they weren't, we'd all have opsl goodnesses in our projs..

They are in the wild for bulk customers, similar deal as 445nm, expensive until the media projectors include them. Should have my grabby mitts on some in September.

Found this but I wouldn't know if they are any good.

Sorry just realised the above are DPSSL and this thread is about Non-pumped laser diodes
