Backround: I got hired for a summer internship with the DOD in....a LASER testing facility!
Pretty sweet right? I get to play with anywhere from 10W-100W lasers everyday. Most of its IR though, so not as much fun.
Anyway to the point. My boss says I can build a HeNe laser, but he want's me to figure out what I need and buy it. He's already got some stuff, like a power supply. The main thing he was saying I needed to look at is mirrors. He says I need like a 100% reflective one, and then a 98% reflective one, with exactly the right concavity.
So anybody know anything about mirrors, where to get them, and what kind I need?
So, I'd appreciate any help in this regard.
Coolios! Thanks,
