ya someone (not a ProDJ) should pick this up, I bought a laserscope from Laser Zone and its quite awesome... a bit startling the first time (like, holy crap bright!) but just have to treat it with respect...

I'd like to take it off your hands but I just can't afford it right now. Maybe in a month or two I'd be interested.
Ok Adam , If I still have it . Which there is a good chance I will. The way things are going lol

it is not cost effective to convert it to a diode pumped laser unless you have the diode pump ready to go and it was free. Once you did convert it to a diode pump the architecture would have to be a perfect match to keep it a stable resonator to work at a fraction in efficiency of its original design. Lamps and lamp drivers are just too cheap. But that is just me![]()

Hey Pat
IDK, Doesn't seem that hard to me unless I'm missing something. Even the greatest of laser manufactures just butts a diode array package up against an nd:YAG rod. Current for driving is easy as well as cooling. I can see thermal lensing being an issue but form the looks of other large diode pumped rigs, pretty damn simple.
I have some really nice Vicor supplies that'll do 2.2-3.6V @ up to 350A and a nice cheap Thermotek chiller to cool everything off. All you'd have to do is construct a cavity that will keep the rod happy while being blasted with 4 40W diode arrays and your set!
Well, unless I'm missing something.
It should be a good match if your rod diameter and length are the same as the factory one. If you review the patent the whole theory behind the optical relay takes thermal lensing into consideration when converting to green. So it would be fine if you match the current parameters because the cavity is designed around that medium. Now the cost issue is the other thing. What would a running Diode Pumped yag system cost? A lamp is 200 and a driver is around 1500 at the most...A while back I saw a Chinese made Diode pumped module with ps for around 3k but it was a very short rod.
