Hey ,
Well after a while of the head sitting on my floor as im currently looking for a PSU I decided to build a simple , very simple setup to test the tube and see if it works .
The circuit is from sams LaserFAQ and is intended for testing only .
The 568nm output looks green on the camera but is a yellow/green in person .
Tube current was 5A and a external 12V to control ignitor ( Opto isolated on the ignitor card )
Test under RF to see if gas was intact and 568nm photons from the HR end Brewster , There is also a blue light that passes though the HR , if I get a working PSU I would like to see if any other wavelengths can be seen with a external Ar/Kr OC and the current power as well .
more photos to follow : D
