ARGON HELP Uniphase Model # 2202-35LL???

The title says it all...I have just received my first argon and I am trying to find any info I can on it..... its Uniphase Model # 2202-35LL....I can find NOTHING pertaining to any 35 or LL designations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you positive it's not 3SLL instead?

He has pictures of it on LPF, it's 35LL for sure. It confuses me too .

I am at a loss here???

I'm guessing typo from the factory *retardo

Probably an OEM laser and thats their designation. Like my uniphase argon came out of a huge HP laser printer and has an unusal uniphase part# too.

35 will be the spec power of operation for one year in mW, so 35 mW. LL is the optics designator and means a custom part in this case. Have you fired it up?

o ya...i have run it 5 times in the last 2 days...check out the pics on LPF...i cant figure out how to post them here......What could "LL" possibly mean?

does anybody have a good reason why I should not run this with the photodiode assembly removed?.....or with it in place but the lense removed??

I think the only reason it looks brighter is because the tube current went higher when you removed it. It's not going to hurt anything to not use it, but you might as well just put it back in and install a pot to control it in current mode to turn it to the desired output setting.
