The devices will be used for communications experimentation, and I am looking for them in small quantities (i.e. << 1000) They will NOT be used to drive fiber-optics, so I do NOT need fiber mounting packages, though they are perfectly acceptable if that's what is available. The specifications are flexible, but this is basically what I'm after: OPERATION: Pulsed, short to medium duty cycle. EMISSION: Anywhere from ~5 microns to visible, IR around 1 micron preferable. SPEED: At least 100kHz pulse rate, ~1MHz preferable. POWER: At least 200mW, a few Watts (pulsed) is very much preferable (~3W would be excellent). Cost is a major consideration, so I'd want the least expensive devices that come anywhere close to those specifications. If anyone has any / can point me to a source, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Chris Hayes ...ucbvax!dual!well!ch {hplabs, ptsfa, dual}!well!ch
