A broadband continuous spectrum laser, from... Denmark??? 
A true white laser!
Choose your color(s) - anything from 460nm blue to IR, and this beast will make it. Or just let it make the rainbow. Comes with an "integrated controller" and computer interface. I don't even wanna THINK about what it costs!
Most of its' capability is in the IR range, but what a range for one laser to cover!
"The Koheras SuperK™ Extreme is a quasi CW single mode super continuum light source with excellent power density. It is a complete stand-alone unit with integrated controller and computer interface for easy and stable operation. In combination with a tuning filter, the SuperK™ Extreme can emit up to eight tunable lines simultaneously."

PDF spec sheet:

They have a "red" and a "blue" broadband version of this too, to better cover the visual spectrum, but I couldn't find data on those.

Does that mean you can have any visible color with that?  |

Every color from 460nm all the way into the infrared.
And all at the same time if you want. There's a spectral chart at the PDF link that shows what the output is.

As long as this laser can create red, yellow, and green simultaneously, I'm happy.

I've dreamed about a laser like that.
Imagine watching it slowly morph from blue to green to red. I get the chills just thinking about it!

New desktop wallpaper?
Here's a pic of a similar fiber laser - my "dream laser" IS real!  I got this pic from a gallery at Photon Lexicon. I believe this version is pulsed, not CW. Still, it makes me drool - just a little. 
I hope these become a PRACTICAL reality in CW soon!!

| wow thats awesome , too bad its only putting out less than 6 mW. Now one of these lasers would be awesome to own - http://www.mellesgriot.com/pdf/catalogx/x_38_4-5.pdf the 35 LAP 431 and 35 KAP 431 especially. Tunable wavelength (though not as much) and nice power to boot. |

I don't know where you got the 6mW figure, the Koheras SuperK laser that I refer to in the first post makes 700mW in the visible. It's total power including the much wider infrared range, is 6W.
Yeah, it would be awesome!

There isn't much about how the laser itself is constructed other than it is a fiber laser - they are using a doped glass fiber that is pumped by an infrared femtosecond pulsed YAG laser.
Here is a link to another manufacturer of this type in a similar package and power range. There is a great picture of it linked there, but it opens in a Flash window and I cannot save it to post it here.

Man, I'd love to have one of these!

Thanks, Roadrunner!
I've never used the PrintScreen key, ever, in my whole life. I learn something every day. Now if I could just remember....!
That first pic is the one I wanted to save. Serious drool factor.
