How gas-ion lasers work

[Dr_Evil]

First of all, I'm not asking how they work. I was just searching for something that explained how they work that included some pictures. I found this during my search. It seems like it would be great for someone new to the gas-ion world.

:thanks: This is a invaluable article for anyone interested in moving up to the "Holy Grail" of lasers. IMHO

Nice.

I just proved brewster's angle with a PHR and one of those 3d model cubes. (the ones with little bubbles inside a clear cube)

Cool stuff, to get no reflection you have to have the angle and the rotation exactly right.

Don't worry about breakages if you get one of those JDSU Air cooled systems ... things are built like tanks ... costs about the same to ship one too!
