So, I'm contemplating building a high powered Nd:glass laser, and I read on Sam's laser faq that they apparently are only good for CW or high pulse repetition. That doesn't make any sense to me. If the thermal conductivity of the substance is low, should it be run as a low pulse repetition pulsed laser? The faq also says that the rods occasionally get damaged from the UV emission of flash lamps. Is that a significant concern?
