I've got a 60W CO[sub]2[/sub] that requires a duty cycle (I broke the output coupler water cooling jacket) of 2 minutes on 3 minutes off. However I can't think of an application of where I would need more than 120 seconds of 60W, Most everything in the beam path is gone in a few seconds anyway, amirite?

I also Own a no-name 633nm HeNe but it's only 0.7mW so I didn't list it. Class II isn't exactly a big laser.

I've also got a 1W green lab module. It's TEM[sub]01[/sub] but a watt of green for $1300... you can't go wrong.

For argons I've got a small (in a relative sense) Single line spectra physics 163 that outputs 5mW idle at 4A tube current and 50mW at 10A. Powered by 110V

And my gem: 4 watts of blue, anyone?
I've recently procured a modified HGM5 medical argon laser from heruur. It initially operated in pulses ranging from 1/2 to 30 seconds but the power supply is now modified (by heruur) for CW operation. It was cooled by a 1/20HP 4" wheeled blower motor which is extremely anemic for CW so I added an industrial strength blower with a 1HP motor and 9" wheel. I can now run it at 3W indefinitely or 4W for a few seconds. By indefinitely I mean as long as you can survive in an ever rising temperature in the room with it. The tube is capable of up to 5W because of an unusually wide bore of about 3mm. The power supply lacks the ability to sustain operation above about 3-4W because... well it wasn't built that way, not enough capacitance I'm told. At 6A idle output is ~50mW with ~4W at 34A. Multiline output ranges from 457 to 514nm. I usually run it around 2W because
HOLY SHIT that's bright enough for home use!!

I've lit candles with it no problem.

220V 50A single phase outlet required (ouch)
Videos please :eek:

Too buzy listening to Rory Gallagher music ATM

Saw him live in my teens (showing my age) a sad loss to music..
As to the poll ..... none of the above :)

I'm jealous. That thing has to be a beast!

Surly you have OTHER in the poll because that would be a DPSS.

i have a 4 foot atmosphere TEA laser so nitrogen really its a railgun that i used for firing pencil leads but i configured it to become a nitrogen TEA laser it runs at 21kv
i get a fair amount of power because i have a back mirror but the mirror is getting damaged at the moment
im trying to get the cycle time down with a better charger circuity at this moment i use real capacitors rather than the separated tinfoil ones and my cycle time is about 20/sec haven't got anything to test actual power but the spot is visible to camreas and its a tem 03 laser i can get 00 if i have the plates much closer and use 3kv but i get much less power (only visible with a uv dye) anyone know what my power would be?

powersupply info that i used to make mine (mine is not to this quality :p) http://www.geocities.com/mistertippy/schematics/N2Laser.html
and the inspiration http://youtube.com/watch?v=iSTviEJr5UM&feature=related
