They are tiny lasers compared to what i work with....


The ones i align work on four wavelengths to do various beauty treatments and produce 100w of power and what a pong when you burn flesh. At
$200 000 they should be good

100W- pah! We're building a tasty 2J (500MW peak power) short pulse green (532nm) laser this week. Corus (British Steel) want to 'ping' steel bar coming off the mill with it to check for micro-cracks.

Here's a tunable wavelength dye laser we used to make.

Dunno why, but I'm reminded of Crocodile Dundee... "Call that a laser?"

Probably got it into their heads that it imitates the radiation too...
