I recently bought a very expensive ND:YAG deck which should give me 1000mJ pulses at 25Hz; so about 8 watts of green if I align a few crystals correctly...
This means that I'm no longer going to need my 1.5W laser!
I figure pictures are worth 1000 words, so:
150 yards from the laser:
Transverse mode: Stable, round TEM 11.
Power Graph:
Analog Modulation test:
500Hz
5000Hz
10000Hz.
Pics of the guts for everyone interested. Yes, the covers have been put back on, and nothing was damaged.
All and all, it's a really nice laser that has only a few hours' use on it; so $750 ought to be a good price for it! Perfect for a laser harp or a very bright scanner.
