This project closed, laser disassembled, some parts used in other devices. My new hobby - Big, no, HUGE laser! Rod: 30x320mm Nd:glass (KGSS-22) , pump 4x pulse lamp (16x250mm). Capacitors: 10x 100mf 5Kv (K-41I7, 12.5 kJ) Mirrors: HR 99.8% reflection, OC 20% ref. Dia 50mm Expected output energy 100-150 J Not so small as SSY-1
Some parts from big laser, smal pump chamber K-104G, pulse xenon lamps, flash reflectors.
My biggest stuff is a 20x260mm nd:glass which I'm not sure I'll ever get to lease, and a slab 8x5x360 nd:glass, however this is a whole head with 2 flash lamps and pump chamber and mirrors
I'm kind of short on capacitors and cash...to many projects...and a day job....

My new project - small pulse YAG:Nd laser. Heart of this laser - small water-cooled pump chamber K-104G. Stainless steel shell with yellow quartz silver+copper+nickel coated monolithic flash reflector (absorb UV), xenon pulse lamp 4x60mm and YAG:Nd 6.3x60mm inside. Power supply - as easy as possible. Some electrolytic capacitors with trigger transformer and start button. Trigger transformer winded on two 40mm ferrite coils. ~35 turns in secondary and 1 turn in primary. All parts of PS placed in ATX power supply box. All optics installed on 250x20x60mm milled composite board. Mirrors: 98% HR, 84% OC. Installed in aluminium alloy support and able to alignment.
