Laserbuilder's collection of gas and other lasers

Wow, that is a large tube and a whole lot of power if it still works. You did a CVL some time ago, if I'm not mistaken. I hope you are able to get this one working and can find the power to drive it. I look forward to your next post about it.

The 60X sled was designed for the Xerox 9700 family of printers. 2 pages per second at 300 dpi In 1977...

I'm sure you'll make it! Is this tube designed for pure cooper or halogenide? The ceramic core looks like BeO or AlO.

I think, it's time to tell about my new ackuisitions, as I've been away for a long time.

GOS301 Nd"Glass laser head

This is a smaller version of the already mentioned GOS1001 laser, that has output energy of 300 J at 1060 nm in a single shot. It contains the Nd:Glass rod that is 30mm in diameter and 320 mm long. It is pumped by 4 lamps called IFP5000, 5 kJ each. This laser is easier to run comparerd to GOS1001, as it needs more than twice less capacitors and the flashlamps are much easier to find. I didn't run it yet.

Here I will share photos of the lasers I currently have in my collection. Approximately it contains about 60 laser heads, laser tubes, laser pumping chambers and about 15 laser related equipment like associated to laser heads power supplies, cooling machines, dye circulators etc. Less than a half of them is operational and can give laser beams. I will post here only those lasers that are operational, some of them are in quantity more than 1. Each post will be about one of the lasers, because it is quite difficult to write a HUGE post with loads of photos.

So, to start with, I'll show a small He-Ne laser designed for school physics lessons. It is called LGN-109 and has 1 mW output on 632.8 nm line. Its main feature is that it has a transparent cover made of acrilic glass, so all insides of it can be seen. the power supply is built in and consists of a simple mains line HV transformer, multiplier and ballast resistors.

How much did it all cost you?
