A few weeks ago I posted about laserglow.com selling yellow pointers lasing at(according to there website) 561nm, well that has changed the current wavelength is now 593.5nm.I was looking forward to buying one, but, at that wavelength the apparent brightness would be less than a green laser all things being equal.At the originally stated wavelength, 561nm would have an apparent brightness of about 25% greater than 532nm,all things being equal. What you have is a bell curve in visual sensitivity. Peak visual response is at 555nm. So I'll wait for one that does lase at 561-556nm.
To Mr Beland. Since it is Cnilaser.com that is producing the yellow laser pointers have you considered becoming a distributor for them? As stated on their website CNI also makes lasers at 556nm, that I would buy. Some things I would like to see in a ready made pointers. Pointers that use AA, C or D batteries for longer rated peak output running time. Those AAA batteries poop out quickly with green pointers even quicker with modded ones. Also lower beam divergence than the typical 1.2-1.5 mrd. I removed my CNI green pointer module from the original case and put it into a new brass case[ Jan.04],think plumbing supplies, to run it on 2 AA batteries, changed the divergence too, now .3mrd[3mm spot at 10 m, 3cm at 100m] the thing still works, much improved in my opinion. All pointers in performance are very much the same, these points would be incentives to buy.
