Is this a CO2 laser?

GAS Laser Light super strong - eBay (item 190329668596 end time Aug-29-09 18:39:27 PDT)

What do you guys think about this auction? I'm guessing by output he means watts?

 

[ElektroFreak]

nah.. that's a Helium Neon laser.

It is a Helium Neon. Output is milliWatts


Damn, ElectroFreak!!! you beat me too it!!!

 

[mfo]

Whoops, silly me. CO2's put out IR wavelength. *Slaps self*

MilliWatts? Gross....

HeNe is still a good start into gassssss lasers.

"Four auction..."

I stopped reading here, sorry.

What other types of gas lasers exist besides CO2, HeNe & Argon? I think I read something about a Nitrogen TEA laser?

Too many !

HeCd, HeNe, HeHg, Ar, HeSe, Kr,Ar/Kr, CO2, CO, Gold vapor, water, Xe ion, Nitrogen, eximer ( 193 nm (ArF), 248 nm (KrF), 308 nm (XeCl), 353 nm (XeF) ), HeAg, NeCu, copper vapor, and gas dynamic lasers. there are more experimental systems I am sure.

Some of the above are metal vapor, but generally considered as gas lasers anyway.

 

[Cyparagon]

Yes, vapors are usually in gas form

For comparison here are some mulit-WATT lexel lasers........

 

[Laser_Ben]

For comparison here is a multi-WATT green laser:

8W from that what are the beam specs like ?

 

[Laser_Ben]

Amazingly good in fact, 1.5mRad with a beam waist of 2.3mm 25cm behind the aperture.

 

[Krutz]

ah, i would LOVE to buy that he-ne from ebay. but unfortunately i'm no parent yet.. *sigh*

How much does that greenie cost?

 

[Laser_Ben]

The bare head with no power supply is $27,999.
