FS or Trade: Nd:YAG rod with optics for 532nm!

*****PRICE DROP... CHECK OUT THE LAST POST*****



Hi everyone,
I'm selling my Nd:YAG rod along with optics meant for high power 532nm.

The rod is 1.1% doped, so it could be used CW with good cooling or pulsed. It's AR/AR 1064nm coated. I believe it's about 3mm x 55mm long. One can make some SERIOUS power with this rod. I believe the rod was meant to be pumped by four 'CCP' style diodes, two on each side.

The optics are very thick, high quality optics meant to make a lot of 532nm. The HR mirror is coated for HR 1064/532 and the OC is coated for HR1064 HT532 on one side, and AR 532nm on the other side. I'm not sure of the exact ROC on the OC mirror, but I do know they are designed for a ~25cm cavity length.

The HR mirror has a chip on the back side of it. This chip is NOT on the coated side and in no way will effect its performance.

I'll get some pictures posted very soon!!

I was intending to use this stuff for a high power green, but I really just dont have the time to give this project the attention it needs.

Looking for $200, open to trades

(Again, pictures are coming soon)

Oh no, don't tempt me to cross the line into the dark side of DPSS-DIY!
Standing by for pic's!

hey that OC is interesting, might be an integrated monitor photodiode, or better a piezzo device for modelocking!

if so, this is really valuable as you'd obtain a high quality stabilized beam!

Here are the pics I promised!

Optics (note the small chip on the HR, again, on the uncoated side thus not effecting the functionality of the mirror):











Here's the rod. There's absolutely no burns, no marks of any kind, the rod has never been used and I do still have the original case for it, I just forgot to snap a picture of it. Roughly 3mmx55mm:

Could you make your workbench any tidier ;p

Any ideas on the estimated power a yag rod like this could be used to produce?

It's a replacement for a 160W CW medical YAG system. The optics are a set I tossed together for him. The OC has a ~50cm ROC and the HR is flat. If you set up a semiconfocal cavity design, you will be able to achieve good stability using a 25cm cavity length.

Dropped again! $100....

I know I could sell it for more, but i just got back from a week-long vacation and I'm a bit short on cash now

Hey GooeyGus, is that still for sale?
