Incredible. You help my case that one day I can make one lol. Here is a link to the progression I made so far.

I wont have the money to continue for a few months but im trying. Congratz again :)
Well I got the three things list, but I do have some lower watt diodes of 808nm which I could test with a dpm to make a smaller green. I aim for the top too much lol.
So i already have

so would

be a good buy for the other 2 HR's?
Ah I see. Ya it came to me of how the mirros work because gas has the the excited electrons excite more and they build up until they escape the one mirror so the right light can exite and the wrong does not. Any advice on the program? Its has a lot of complicated stuff to it.
I downloaded the program, but it is a bit confusing to me. I wanna go back to your picture you made quick. So what I fully see there is that you shoot a 40W at a 45 degree angle into one end and it comes out parallel on the other end. Repeat with the otherside. Then The light from the crystal is...
Ya 10W was my theoretical. I was really hoping for about 4-5W. Think I can get this doing linear or such with a 40 or 60W 808nm? Also just for kicks could you list a few of the optics needed for the ring? I have a number of catalogs that I want to look into for optics and such.
But I do have the crystals for it correct? Also have anyy links for holders and allignment stuff. I dont wanna just glue this i want it to be accurate.
The picture is a little confusing. I cant make out where things are going. So my optics are useless? Is my ktp good enough. And if this is true then I pretty much have the crystals but need to have a main focus on optics? Lets say I go z-fold or linear with the optics I have then how much power...
Here is what I have so far

HIGH POWER YAG LASER HGTR KTP GREEN SHG...
Hey. Im building a 10W green. I have the HR and OC mirrors. The amazing ktp and YVO4. I plan on getting a 40W 808nm bar. So I will be using the z-fold method. Can someone link me sources where I can learn more on the Z-fold and/or pictures of it being done. I checked out sam's fcts but cannot...
That is more helpful. I bought this ktp
