Since theres a good likelihood I'll be getting myself an Argon-Ion laser in the near-ish future, I was wondering about running a air-cooled one outdoors where the ambient temperature is between -15 to -10 Degrees C (During the winter. In the summer the nighttime temperature is usually 15 to 20 C). Would the colder air be beneficial to keeping the laser cool, or would it be so cold that it would impede the laser from lasing?
Same thing with a HeNe laser. I know most HeNe's don't need extra cooling, but its foggy a lot where I live and if I felt inclined to take a HeNe outside for some beamshots would the cold prevent it from lasing properly?
Much thanks!
