    hahaahah nice one gooeygus! All i can guess is that you are putting in more gain or something like that. I dont really get it...BUT YOU GOT IT!!! Excellent job!

    yellow line has more gain then green, and is close enough in wavelength they have a hard time killing it, yet still making the 99% mirrors for the green. So all you have to do is add a little mirror, and yellow she goes.

    Here Pat, some lite reading, pun intended.

    Thanks steve, I remember seeing this at one time or another. The problem with Sams FAQ is information overload, i start reading it and then I dont stop and I get severe headaches. I figured it has to be a gain issue. I remember some where magnets were used in henes to suppress IR lines that would compete with the red. Using magnets enhanced some lines in henes- for get which ones but whatever...

    It gets kinda tricky over 8 inches or so with the mirror set up I got going, but no green...

    Daguin's gree-ne was doing something similar just before it died... without the use of a mirror.
