Very interesting reading. Last night I did some research into Ruby Rod lasers. I was amazed how simple they are and the amount of power they can output. Ruby Rods can be purchased on Ebay for a moderate cost as well as the flash tubes. I read a good artcile on a home built Ruby Laser on Google. The Photo's of what it was able to do are awesome.
Sounds like an interesting laser to build. But dam it's a powerfull pulse and extreamly dangerous. Not even safe to be in the same room when firing it.
