445nm laser diode harvested from a DLP laser projector. The exact CW rating is unknown at this time but these diodes are capable of outputting ~1W of 445nm light.
Due to the sensitive nature of laser diodes these assemblies/components are sold AS-IS with no implied warranty or otherwise. We will not accept returns or grant refunds for any laser diode.
By purchasing this you agree that you will use this component in a responsible manner for integration into a laser of your own design. You also agree that the seller is not responsible for any damages/liabilities caused by the buyer.
Never hook any laser diode directly to any power supply. You must have a current regulating "driver" circuit to safely power any laser diode.
Buyers MUST be aware that you should never point any type of laser at any type of moving vehicle. This includes cars, airplanes, trains, helicopters, buses, etc. Using a laser device to point at airplanes or helicopters is a Federal offense in the United States and offenses can carry heavy fines or imprisonment as these incidents can cause crashes/accidents and cause people the loss of their lives. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER! Always practice proper laser safety with ANY laser emitting device.
