The past 2 days have been excellent for my laser hobby. First on Monday I got my WickedLasers Fusion and LaserGlow Libra that I bought off DJNY, and then today I got my Uniphase Novette Helium Neon laser! 
First up, my Uniphase Novette!
Its in remarkably good condition!
Theres an odd blue glow inside the lens assembly. Not sure what its from, but it looks cool.
It has a neat feature. The indicator light on the top is actually just a clear window that lets the light from the tube shine through:
Made in 1993! 21 years old! Older than me even.
This emits 633 nm light. Nearly identical to a 638 diode. Ton of splash around the dot. Has decent divergence, around 1.7 mRad.
Next, my LaserGlow Libra. At 5mW of 638, its a pretty unremarkable laser, but the host looks nice, and since its actually 5 mW I can feel safe using it with my cat.
Pew Pew!
Finally, my WickedLaser Fusion. At 80 mW of 532, this is the brightest green laser I've ever owned!
Love them or hate them, they make some decent looking hosts. I'm a fan of the brass text with the black body!
The beam is razor thin out of the aperture:
Unfortunately, the beam hits the aperture slightly, and makes a huge glare:
Divergence isn't great, but it makes up for it with its sheer brightness. And clean TEM00.
To space!
