5 Watts green laser??

[mastertop]

On this website : http://www.pro-lite.uk.com/Lasers/LQ/laser_quantum.html , on third product, there is a 5 watts green laser. How is this possible?? Can we buy it?? someone have pics??

I worked for GSI LUMO in field service for 2 years. I am sure thay will sell you one, My guess would be 120-175K. NOT cheap, used in marking and specialty micro welding.

120 000, 175 000 $ it would be so cool but i dont have enough money /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

How about 70 watts of 532nm GREEN!

!!! how much do you sell it? do you have some pics? how 70 watts are possible? how big is the laser? how big is the beam? thanks

70,000mW at 532nm is mighty strong indeed!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Some colleagues of mine have 2 60w DPSS lasers. They do require water cooling and with all the ancillary equipment take up a lot of space. They are used outdoors extensively during the festival season. They look very impressive at about 2 miles away.

how much do they cost???? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

a lot!

The best deal I know right now is a 20 watt freq. doubled
532nm yag 15K$

Think the Laser Quantum 5W dpss is actually reasonably priced, for what it is, about the price of a mid range family saloon car.

You get the power by using Laser Diode bars and focussing all the energy into the frequency doubling crystal, the trick is in the optics because the output of the diodes is in a line and you need a nice focussed spot.

Bigger greens use arc lamp pumping rather than diode pumping, as luck would have it there`s a nice low hours 40W Laserscope on eBay:

The 100W quoted is for 1064 Infra Red output.With a bit of tweaking believe some of them can get up to 60W of green.

Bit more complex than a laser pointer though:

How about a copper chloride or copper bromide vapor laser. They produce hundreds of watts pusled and do not require mirrors to lase as they are super radiant in operation like a N2 laser. Look here-

Sounds interesting. The gun at the top of this page: http://www.amazing1.com/burning-lasers.htm is said to output a constant 20w of 1064nm, sounds like a deal for that price. Couldn't the frequency even be doubled to make like a couple watts of 532nm?
