    Default Greetings, Got YLF?

    I'm in beautiful upstate NY.

    Installing a system using Nd:YLF for the Oscillator and Pre-amp. 1" diameter and 3" diameter ND:glass rods for the amplifiers. The doubling crystal is 3.5 by 3.5 by 1 inch.

    Who says the flashlamp is dead? Diodes could not pump this.

    Use is, um, ..... well, never mind.

    20+ Joules of green, a new personal operations record. 527 nm not 532, Beautiful green.

    Glasses need to be OD7.5! minimum!

    You know your having fun when the spatial filter pinholes have to be in a vacuum.

    Obviously pics are not allowed for many reasons, but it sure would be neat to see some of the things you work on.

    ..and yes, YLF makes a really-purdy Green.. definitely-perceivable color difference.. Looks amazing mixed w/ Argon-blues, too..
