Dar303 speculates it could be a military/Nasa laser.

You should ask Tony Stark about this particular piece of equipment...![]()
Funny, I could have sworn it was a Flux Capacitor...
This space for rent.
here's the optics part:

A little web-snooping gives this from 2004:
"The U.S Air Force announced the award of the contract to Nuvonyx Sept. 1, and said it's in the process of paying the company $3.7 million to begin research on the next generation of laser diode pump systems."

The name of the seller, "AerospaceSurplusNet" is also a clue...
I so want that stuff to go into my future Mad Professor Lab!
