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.

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.
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:
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?
