Power output fluctuations. Any need for concern?

[sleestak]

Greetings- I am considering buying a 532nm laser rated at 345mw. Do the large fluctuations in power output signify any potential problems with quality or life of the product?

Thanks for any input.

It's a 532nm, all DPSS lasers are subject to this kind of graph

As far as i know every green and other dpss laser needs time to reach a stable power output make a graph after about 5 minutes of warming up the laser and i think it will be way more stable

All depends on the laser. It needs active cooling to accomplish what you're saying there. Temperature is pretty much in control of the graph.
