What Laser Diodes are Actually Available?
Laser diodes are often very difficult to buy in small quantities from reputable suppliers. Beware the diodes from hobby-electronics suppliers! They aren't always what they say they are!
Here's a good commercial place to check laser diode availability:If you are looking for lower-cost hobby-type lasers, check out these links:
