Hi Everyone! I am a new member, but a "lurker" here for some time now. Please allow me to give you some personal background. I am a dentist with 36 years in practice, and have been using and teaching dentists how to use dental lasers (Argon, Nd:YAG, CO2, Er:YAG), since 1992.
I am interested in building a hand held laser in the ~800nm range that has a variable output up to about 3W. My problem is that I would like to have the beam focused on a flexible (or semi-flexible) glass fiber for soft tissue surgery.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of laser, and possible plans and sources for building for one?
Thanks for your help!
