For Sale: High Power Laser Diodes

..., Tue Dec 05 2006, 04:07AM

As some of you know, I have an insane amount of 808nm laser diodes. About 25 20w bars and 20 50w bars.

Since I will not be able to use that many diodes in my lifetime, I have been selling most of them off (on ebay).

I just wanted to let you know that they are available, and see if any of you are interested. My asking prices are $60 for a 20w bar, $100 for a 50w bar. Add $100 if you want them mounted on a 1" mount (big block-o-copper that you just bolt down).

I also have some small (I think 20mw at 1550nm) DFB lasers (which means that they have a very small line width, like 1nm). I have no data other then that they work (I have mounted a few). Thinking about $5 a piece, add $50 for mounting on a small copper plate (like 10mm by 6mm by 3mm thick).

Finally, I have googles for 532nm, 808nm, 1064nm, 1550/1310nm, probably some other wavelengths (uv and ruby quoted) if anyone needs them. $60 new/$30 used.

Trading is cool too ;) ssy-1's are worth $90 of credit. Subtract $30 if you blew out the q-switch (if you put a lens that focuses it at about 1inch away and fire at 20j and you don't get a small floating spark then the q-switch is dead).
If you have a 1.6mm nd:yag rod (for diode pumping) I am all ears, or even better a mount for a 1.2mm rod. (I have a 1.6mm mount, but a 1.2mm rod, arrg)
