Up for trade (or sale, but would prefer trade) is one large Nd:YAG rod. Pictures of this rod are available at this post:

If a significant cash offer comes in, I'll consider it (it IS Christmas time... I can hear my credit cards making sucking sounds at me)... But I'm looking to trade for laser stuff - and specifically solid-state laser stuff - BluRay diodes, greens, certain optics... things like that. Also willing to trade for some of those really GOOD surface mount style LD driver boards - along with a few other items.
SO... since in the above post I was only estimating sizes, and now I'm actually putting this beauty on the block, here's the closest I can get to exact measurements:
11 - 9/16" length
3/8" diameter
It does not APPEAR to be coated or mirrored on either end, unless it is coated or mirrored with something only visible if I could see in the IR spectrum.
If someone is SERIOUSLY interested, I'll take any pics - angles, comparisons, whatever - you need. Please don't take it personally if I ask to use a third-party for any trade arrangements if I don't know you well yet.
So let me know!

PS., I decided to trade this after honestly evaluating my available time and resources to put this rod into actual use. Not gonna happen - for a long time. So- it's too nice of a rod to let it lay around anymore, and now that I've found this place, I know there's some folks out there who could appreciate and use it, as I probably never will. But I CAN seriously use some other stuff!
