Taipan / OPSL Hacking

Greetings forum

Recently, I almost bought a Verdi G18 for a projection project I had in mind, but the eBay seller whose house I visited to help them get all his G-Series units working decided to thereafter, flake on the deal and leave me with no G18 to buy 😭

I still want to make a projector, and I have two lasers that may be suitable for it:

A coherent Vitara ti-sapphire ultra-fast laser, with a tem00 genesis OPSL pump inside of unknown power (it seems to lase pretty brightly at 13A)

As well as a coherent mantis ti-sapphire ultrafast laser, with a 5 watt single mode OPSL pump inside that lases very brightly at 20+ amperes.

I don’t have much of a need for either of these ultrafast lasers, so I was thinking I should use the pump from one of them for my projector.

Does anyone know where I can find information on the pin-out to the connector on the taipans? Or even better, know where I can find a nice driver board that holds the BRF, OPS and other temperatures at their right set points?

why would you use a tisaph or ultrafast for a laser projector. One is ir which yes could be doubled and the other is simply dangerous. You don’t want or need peak power nor pulsed operation. That pulsed laser could blind someone in a ps.
