Source for 18W IR fiber coupled pump diodes? For MG / LPC 2w dpss

[telmnstr]

Hello,

(Can't edit post topic, I think they're 12W and the diode bar isn't directly fiber coupled as I remembered it)

Anyone know the source or potential replacement for Laser Power Corporation / Melles Griot 2W DPSS IR pump diode array?

Is it something that could be an ebay find or hard to find not worth the time type of thing?

I have two that are dead, suspect is the pump diodes trying to figure out if it's worth trying to fix them. Trying to clear out projects :-)

Specs are 18W fiber coupled (as per Sam's FAQ on them.)

Like the one in my profile picture?

If that's the case - I have two, one that has been extracted from the head and another still in the head but the head has no Vanadate. Not sure if they're still making 18W but both are lasing.

Are they something that is easy to find off the shelf or are they custom?

You looking to get rid of them? :-)

They were in off the shelf parts - Both pulled from Melles DPSS heads that had bad crystals ... well I guess one hasn't been pulled yet as it's still bolted into the head

I have little use for them at the moment if you're interested - make me an offer? :P

I have two Melles PSUs that came with the heads too ...
