    Question Q-Switch nd:yag/ktp laser interior

    I am just getting my foot in the door learning about medical and aesthetic laser repair. (I have been on the treatment end of working the laser for over 10 years)

    This is one of my lasers. It is a bit older and kind of a complicated mess compared to the newer laser I have. Thought someone here might have some feedback on what I am missing with this beast. The part labeled "G" is on a moving track, which I assume moves based on if the YAG or KTP is active. Anyone feel bored and want to try to map out this beam path? Just under that beige cover is the final turning mirror which picks up the beam from the top left turning mirror and sends it down the laser arm. Love to see any feedback on it.

    F is likely a Faraday Rotator (Strong Magnets)
    G KTP Assembly with oven controller PCB and polarization controlled folding assemblies

    B is flashlamp and rod.(NO KTP)

    That is an oscillator -amplifier (3 Flashlamps, 2 Rods) and I happen to recognize parts of it that are made or built under license from by my former Employer.,
