5000 milliwatts blue green argon ion ar+ coherent laser
Removal of the Etalon allows all colours to be output simultaneously. Actual output can vary - higher or lower, depending on many factors including: current level, condition of tube, condition of optics, tuning of optics, operator expertise, etc.
Argon Ion (Ar+) Lasers have very stable GREEN & BLUE output.
BELOW: Here's an opened view of the Laser Head. Note the very large gas stabilization/refill tank in the upper left. This laser has been carefully stored in environmentally controlled conditions.
BELOW: The FRONT PANEL CONTROLS of the Exciter/Power Supply. COHERENT's design really lets you know what's happening AT ALL TIMES with three critical parameters, the level of current limiting occuring via the pass transistor voltage, the amount of current the plasma tube is currently drawing, and the pressure in the tube, in Millitorres. The Exciter is not activated in this photo.
