    They are definitely lamp pumped; come as either 115V or 230V models (not voltage reconfigurable).
    3 different power output models have been made: 5W / 10W / 15W.

    Interesting; how is it cooled, as there's no sign of coolant pipes and the unit's too small to have a heat exchanger inside?

    This might be a great start for a diode conversion. Buy a defunct model and replace the lid on the lamp containing head and replace with a diode stack. Are these Q switched?

    Adjustable Width and Duration Pulse mode as a factory option... Which means it can have a Q=switch if the customer orders it..

    It does! It has a tiny heat-ex inside

    Single phase, arc lamp pumped, q-switched with a small water cooling system built-in. 10W avg power q-switched. Likely !W or less CW, but I haven't tried. Probably not enough internal cooling to run at full power for long periods of time. Some have 'StarPulse' feature which is '160W', but that's just a very short pulses. Similar architecture to the PV lasers. I have 2 Aura's here but have not had a chance to try my PV hack on them.
