    Default Two 1W Green DPSS Viasho to REALIGN

    I sell two used, opened, cleaned 1W Green DPSS Viasho heads

    One makes around 200~300mW with a vanadate replaced by one given to me by junktronix (it comes from a medical head and was designed to cope with 25W of multimode pump), TEC driver has been repaired (op-amp replaced) and works flawlessly

    The other makes around 150mW with original crystals

    Optics are healthy, pump curve has been traced and seems pretty healthy too with diodes drawing 4.8A at max driver ramp

    Cavities are pre-aligned to output an amount of green, you have to improve it by optimizing OC and HR distances and placing KTP at the mode matching place (approx 3mm between HR mount and doubler mount)

    Drivers have dual TEC capability but only one is used, LD Driver is based on an IRF450 or 460 and can support a variety of shunt combinations if you replace resistors and tweak the meter's trimmers


    The prices are :

    Replaced vanadate one : 200€
    Lower power one : 150€

    It is also for sale on other forums

    It comes without driver cover as I didn't have them when I acquired them or they were damaged

    They had already been tampered with when I received them but I carefully inspected them and found them to be healthy (they had been disaligned by vibration)

    They come with output optics and focusing out of alignment as cavity still has to be optimized, but it is quite straightforward (a prism for folding the beam which comes out of the folded arm of the V back in the main axis, and collimating/aperture)

    This is a great occasion to have a 1W head at a fraction of its cost if you are able to realign it a bit

    EDIT: I stopped in the process of realignment as I have not the time for these things anymore! If you're into it, you can easily realign them and make a nice cashback

    Please contact me if you're interested!

    Are the pump diodes and xtals on separate TEC's?
    Do you have any more shots of the heads? Any shots of the drivers?

    PMs sent but no news, so if no answer back this evening, I'll put them on sale again...

    Everything is on a couple TECs mounted on a single plate but you have a spare TEC controller to fiddle with and regulate the KTP if you are able to make a suitable KTP mount (driver has one TEC controller unused)

    I'll update the thread this evening to give some news

    Shrad, I'm interested. I'll let you know for sure if I can take one in a couple of days - need to wait for pay day and see how much I'm needing to spend on bills ...

    Thanks!

    it's on hold for the original buyer, so you are not alone to be interested

    anyway, it'll be first paid, first sent

    I'm taking two weeks of vacation starting the 2nd of august so won't be able to ship between the 2nd and the 19th, but if someone buys them before they will be shipped before if possible

    update,

    lasers for sale again,

    special price of 300€ for the one who buys the whole pack rapidly so I can have this money for my vacation...

    shipping will be something like 30~40 euros for the USA, far less for the UK and Europe, for both units
