How 'inexpensive' are we talking here?  Thousands or tens of thousands?  If
you are in the Thousands then you are looking at a pulsed LED.  If you can
afford much more then you might be able to get some kind of laser.  If you
already have access to some kind of pulsed laser at your facility with
sufficient energy then you might be able to frequency triple it to get the
wavelength range you need at a relatively low additional cost.
