Opnext HL6545MG Diodes

[steve-o]

Guilty as charged here too--
I just got another Maxyzmodule
Its so hard to be good
Coherent photons just seem to find their way into my dark wallet

[JimBo]

I'm thinking about getting a money printer, I will lend it out to everyone too

[steve-o]

Would that be a laser printer?
(prints money just to buy laser stuff)

LOL... too funny. Not much money being spent on my end. Just enough to have a little fun.

JimBo - Stating my interest in getting in line for the money printer passaround!

So i missed out eh,

damm, the collimator's from MI arrived today, but now i don't have anything to put in them..

Is there going to be another group buy sometime soon Pit?

BTW, these collimator's look quite nice. Great service from MI there..

They are due some new stock in April, so there will probably be another GB then.

What was the collimator that you got from Meridith and how much was it?

I tried to get a "sample" of the opnext 635mn 35mW LD.
Here is a partial (edited for space) of the email.

Anyone interested?

(read from the bottom up)

Steve,

Thanks for your input. Opnext is going to ask me what "volume purchase" means. Please clarify and I will push a sample request through. If I do not succeed I may have another supplier who can help you.

Hello Jay,
I am a member of Photonlexicon, a group of laser enthusiasts both professional and hobbyists. We frequently do group buys at quantity levels to benefit all.
I realize that asking for a sample of this pricey diode is asking alot, but I was thinking that I if I could post a side-by-side comparison picture or video of a 660nm with your 635nm it might generate enough interest if the price were to be adjusted for a quantity purchase.
I do have a full lab both at home and at work with ESD protection, o'scopes etc.
Thank You
Steve

Dear Sirs:

I would like to request a sample of P/N HL6323MG for evaluation and development of new product.

Thank you very much.

Are the diodes in the new 'lightscribe' DVDs any more powerfull?

Seems like they'd have to be..
