anybody done it ?

Who hasnt?

Hey Adrian, when you saw "newer", do you mean the diode-pumped ones (e.g. Aura)? I have never seen a Laserscope Aura conversion, I guess because the beam specs are still pretty bad for the price.

Edit: Actually, the Laserscope Aura is lamp pumped!

yep - i mean anything post 700/800 series..

i've seen some 80-100 watt 532nm new laserscopes on and around ebay...

Actually, the Laserscope Aura is lamp pumped! The resonator is much more compact than the 700/800 series, but the design is the same familiar Z-fold. I don't know if the higher output power is due to higher input power or higher efficiency. In my experience, a shorter resonator generally corresponds to higher power and lower beam quality. There is some interesting discussion between Kevin, Piotr, Pat and others here, with photos of the resonators:

Other interesting news, I note that Piotr has built a Z-fold based on the Laserscope Greenlight pump chamber (7x125mm rod and 6kW lamp). Higher output power comes at the cost of higher input power (6kW for Greenlight vs 4kW for KTP/532) and a larger rod (7x125mm for Greenlight vs 4x79mm for KTP/532).
