John...Have you thrown any optics in front of this diode ??? What were the results ??? I should be getting one in a few days !! Should be interesting !!
I will slap a set of 6X in front.....and see what the Nearfield and Farfield amount to. IMNSHO...if we can tame the P73/63193....we should be able to tame this LD....And...If you compare it to the NUBM044....which is a real dog.....even a 7W....the apparent luminosity is 5W @ the 468nm line = 6.25W @ the 445nm line.. Close.....and hopefully much better beam characteristics !!!
