You can buy IR-laser diodes in the 7 to 25 W (right watt!) range for $14.88
(order number R6MI60468) from:
BNF Enterprises (617) 531-5774
119 Foster Street
P.O. Box 3357
Peabody, MA 01961-3357
This is from a March '87 catalog. These are probably surplus devices or
devices that failed some quality inspection...
In any event, such a diode is downright dangerous: high power IR can harm the
eye even if you can't see it. It is also not easy to drive such a device:
you need to deal with fairly high current and such diodes tend to be rather
sensitive.
