40watt green - laserscope

[Switch]

That may be a steep price for 4.5 watts of green... But I now got a laserscope KTP in the mail on its way to me for far less than its worth.

Anyone got a decent Nd:YAG laser I could have? I'm looking for a couple joules at least, watercooled if possible with a high repetition rate.

The beauty of it is not in the CW power but the many joules of pulsed power it can manage. A laserscope KTP can handle outputting many many joules of green.

So you want to shoot green pulses? :-/

You get a decent rep(etition) rate going and many many joules of pulse peak green is enough to AVERAGE several watts.
I doubt you'll find many DPSS lasers over about 8 watts that use diode pumps, not to say they don't exist but it's not the common way to do it at that power.

can you still use Q-switch with a 808nm pump?

Yes

thanks, you get a +1.
