I have a need for one or more power supplies for the Lightwave Electronics model 221 10W ND:YAG laser. Does anyone know if the PS/controller for the 211 is compatible, except for the needed diode voltage and current? The controller interface pin-out on the 221 otherwise looks identical to the 211, although the 211 uses a Q-switch while the 221 an AOM.
There is a whole lot of info on the LWE 221 which can be found on Sam's Laser FAQ, so I have that, but if a controller and power supply or manual is available, I'm interested!
It's a shame this doesn't do Q-switched pulses, but it does have an AOM.
I did not expect to find the optics for the YAG are not placed strait out off the end of the rod, the optics on both ends at an angle away from the physical axis of the rod. Wish I had a drawing showing how the beam flows inside the unit, if anyone has one please let me know
About eight years ago I found these YT video's on the unit, took awhile for one to pop up on ebay, but its on the way to me now:
