A friend of mine gave me 2 Uniphase HeNe laser tubes one dated May 1995 and the other May 1996. See pics... I dont have a power supply for them yet...
Specifications
Min. output power (TEM00) 2.0mW
Wavelength 632.8nm
Mode purity (TEM00) >95 %
Beam diameter 0.63mm
(I/e2 points, ±3%, TEM00)
Beam divergence 1.3mrad
(TEM00, ±3%, mrad- full angle)
Polarization ratio N/A-
(minimum, P versions) /500:1
Longitudinal mode 730MHz
spacing (nominal)
Maximum noise 0.1%
(rms, 30 Hz to 10 MHz)
Max. drift ±2.5 %
(mean power measured over 8 hours)
Max. mode 3%
sweeping contribution
Max. warm-up time 10min.
(minutes to 95% power)
Operating voltage 1700 V DC
(V DC ±100)
Operating current 4.9 mA
(±0.1 mA)
General
Maximum starting voltage 10 kV DC
Storage lifetime Indefinite (hard-sealed)
Static alignment Center to outer cylinder within ±0.01 inch. Parallel to outer cylinder within ±1 mR.
Environmental
Temperature -40 to 70 °C (operating), -40 to 150 °C (non-operating)
Atitude 0 to 10,000 feet (operating), 0 to 70,000 feet (non-operating)
Relative humidity (no condensation) 0 to 100%
Shock 25 g for 11 ms, 100 g for 1 ms
I was reading about the power supply... do i have to use there PS or will any PS with the right starting and operating voltage/current work? anyone here have the same series laser? i would like to take one apart if i can but im not sure how to go about it.... any ideas?
