Work together on building a HeNe laser? Would be a Science/Electronics collab?
kit for sale:
Some folks in science built a laser a few years back
then personalities clash and folks left with their work,
you might look thru some of the old trhads on it It seens ti be nistkt
2 folks that spent money on it,
Ahhh, I initially thought you would be making the tube.
I don’t know how to do that, does anyone at the space?

I picked up this thread in a search. Lookey what I found laying about in my cabinet…
It’s a Diode Pumped Solid State NdYAG Laser. 300mW, 532nm with side bands in 940nm and 1064nm.
“Looks interesting” he says looking at laser with remaining eye…
looks cool, lets talk
This one is definitely in the Danger Zone. Direct viewing, even of a specular reflection, will track up your retinas. But, it will take the hologram exposure time from 5 min, down to about 15 seconds, and it has enormous longitudinal coherence.
So, just for @artg_dms…
Yep, don’t stare into beam for sure. Used to have a 4 watt Argon Laser and it was pretty good a lighting cigars. What a wasteful beast 6-7 kW in 4 watts out.
It was a very short dental unit so had a terrible coherence length. No holograms for me.
According to the team at Darkly Labs 4.5mm red tinted acrylic can be an equitable substitute for the glasses…or so they said when I asked about making a safety housing for mine
