Yes, it is! It just had me and up with this!

Coherent 430nm DPSS 30-50mW

hopefully you get it working, post pics when you do

Well, I know an engineer who worked on these systems for coherent. I just got off the phone with him. He said that these units take about 10 minutes to warm up/emit from the time you turn the key.

"nuclear flamingo" i'll use that more often!

Nice looking laser though. Hope you get it working properly.

Nor the question is, is the flamingo a beta, alpha, or gamma emitter!??

Interesting laser... and if it just needs a bit of time to start beaming, then you picked up a real bargain!

Pics, pics and more pics please

Yep, I really do hope the delay is the only problem with it. I believe this is holographic quality??? Any one know the size of a Coherent Compass 532? Because this is the same size.

Ben the thread title sums it up. Thats a sexy sexy laser.
I cant wait for you to get us pix of it in action. A rare and magnificent find

Have I missed the power of it?
Or is it dead = 0mW?

I'm assuming they didn't give it enough time to turn on. The laser was probably cold from storage and takes a while to warm up before the controller gives power to the diode. Then again they might not have had the correct interlock.
