In my quest for HeNe goodness, my last one got me 42mW. However, it was a "sealed" housing.

I wanted to see a long plasma exposure. I kept looking. My latest gives me that exposure.
This newest one is a Spectra Physics Model 907. It is ~39 inches overall. I picked it up awhile ago, but my Spectra Physics 255 PSU wasn't quite up to the challenge. It would sputter and flash, but no more. I finally got a PSU that would drive it (LaserWave 390T-5300-11.5). I just got it fired up. It is all still flying leads, but I have light :wave:
In addition, I need to clean and adjust the optics. it is putting out a whopping 5mW right now. :crackup:
It certainly could be worse. Many of these, (with external mirrors) arrive not lasing at all.
So one more thing to keep me out of the bars at night, eh?
Peace,
dave
