Looking for any information about older laser products.

[Oprahs Mustache]

Hey guys - I just found this place and figured you guys might be able to help me. I work at a research university and we got a bunch of older laser equipment donated to us. my job as of late is to catalog and find out any information I can about our booty with the eventual goal of setting up a laser ablation system. well, as I've said, the stuff is 15 to 20 years old so information is hard to come by. as it is though, here is the list I've compiled so far.

from QUANTEL
PV 420
CB 631 (AMP)
CB 430S (OSC) - x3
PU 610
SB 660 x3
CU 601
CG 603 x2

from IE OPTOMECH
model: s355B-000060 x2

from INSTRUMENTS SA

SDL laser diode Drive - model 203?

TURBOTRONIK NT 150/360 I found a PDF of the 151/361 model.
(electronic frequency converter)

CONTINUUM
model O.E.M serial# 101

LUMONICS
Holographic laser system HLS4 x2

UNIPHASE
model 2214-30SLQRT
model 2214-40MLA
model 2214-30SLT

CLYCLONICS (DIVISION OF UNIPHASE)
laser power supply - 2144B-40MLA x2

I'm a mech-E guy so this stuff is way out of my league and I really have no idea what I'm dealing with. so any information - personal experience, PDF's, websites - anything! would be greatly appreciated.

if this is in the wrong forum, I apoligize. if there is a more appropriate area to post in could a moderator please move it?
