Massive coherent 100WATT 808NM water cooled laser diode

THIS IS A COHERENT WATER COOLED 100/60 WATT 808nm C/WAVE LASER DIODE ARRAY
THE NEW COST OF THESE UNITS ARE $18500 U.S DOLLARS EACH, THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS LASER
THE PICTURE OF THE LASER DIODE BURNING IS AT ONLY 33.75 AMPS AS SHOWN ON THE FLUKE SCOPEMETER, IT HAS ONLY JUST STARTED TO LASE.
YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POWER IF YOU SIMPLY INCREASE THE CURRENT TO OPERATING POWER, AROUND 65-70 AMPS.
IT WOULD SIMPLY BLOW A HOLE THROUGH BOTH SIDES OF THAT SMALL OBJECT AND HIT THE WALL AND I WOULD HAVE A FIRE IN THE LAB, NOT GOOD FOR THE SMOKE ALARMS. THE LASER BEAM CUT A CLEAN HOLE THROUGH ONE SIDE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS ONLY AT 33 AMPS.
SOME OF THE OBJECTS BEING DESTROYED BY THE LASER IN THE PHOTOS INCLUDE MY GARBAGE BIN, A PVC BOX, A BLACK CONTROL PANEL (ABS), THE RECTANGLE MATERIAL BEING CUT IS A 6mm THICK PIECE OF CLEAR PERSPEX, I'M NOT ATTEMPTING TO PHOTOGRAPH ANY TYPE OF PAPER BEING CUT EVER AGAIN, THIS WAS A NEAR TRAGEDY AS I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO PICK THE CAMERA UP OR EVEN CLICK A BUTTON BEFORE THE WHOLE BENCH WAS ON FIRE AND A AUTOMATIC FREON FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS TRIGGERED. EVEN AFTER BLOWING HOLES THROUGH PVC, ALL THE SMOKE FILLED AIR HAS TO BE SUCKED OUTSIDE.
HERE IS A LINK TO CUT AND PASTE INTO YOUR BROWSER, OR TYPE COHERENT LASER DIODE IN THE SEARCH BAR IN GOOGLE VIDEO.
A MUST SEE SET OF VIDEOS AND CLIPS FROM THE USA AND FRANCE.

PART NO: 94260000R1 / C / 1R1
DATE OF MANUFACTURE: 10-16-2003
DIODE LIFE: 15000 - 25000 HOURS
OPERATION VOLTAGE: 3.5 - 4.5 VOLT DC
OPERATION CURRENT: 23 75 AMPS
WATER COOLING: 20 PSI MINIMUM, 45 PSI MAXIMUM
OEM OPERATION RATED OPTICAL OUTPUT POWER IS 100 WATTS, YES 100 WATTS OF CONTINUOUS WAVE 808nm ALL DAY NOT FOR A SECOND OR FOR A PEAK BUT ALL DAY.
THESE ARE SPECIAL OEM DESIGNED UNITS, COHERENT WILL NOT RELEASE DATA ON THIS ITEM, I HAVE BEGGED THEM MANY TIMES.
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST POWERFUL LASER DIODE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!
YOU HAVE NO DOUBT SEEN THE ONES THAT SMOKE ELECTRICAL TAPE OR POP BALLOONS. THIS ONE WILL FLAT SET THOSE ON FIRE.
IT WILL CUT A PIECE OF WHITE A4 PAPER IN HALF IN A SECOND AND SET FIRE TO NEWS PAPER FROM 20 FEET AWAY IN A SECOND.
THE PRESENCE OF WATER COOLING, THE MASSIVE 3 POUND SOLID BILLET MACHINED TUNGSTEN COPPER GOLD PLATED CASE/HEAT SINK AND THE SHEER SIZE OF THE ELECTRICAL TERMINALS/LUGS SUGGESTS THIS UNIT TO BE OF AN ALL BUT UNHOLY POWER RATING.
IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A GREEN 532nm OR BLUE 473nm, DPSS LASER OF 10-40 WATTS C/WAVE OR ABOVE THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR A PUMP DIODE.
IT S GETS BETTER THE LASER HAS SEVERAL OPTICS INSIDE THAT FOCUS THE BEAM TO A THIN LINE IN THE NEAR FIELD BUT MAKE A MORE OR LESS ROUND BEAM WITH REASONABLE COLLIMATION IN THE FAR FIELD.
IT HAS GRIN LENS, FOCUS AND COLLIMATION LENS, OPTICAL ALIGNMENT WEDGE, ANAMORPHIC BEAM INTEGRATOR OPTIC, FOLDING PRISM INSTALLED.
A CLEAN REGULATED CONSTANT CURRENT POWER SUPPLY OR A LASER POWER SUPPLY SHOULD BE USED TO POWER THIS LASER DIODE. ANY VOLTAGE ABOVE 5.0VDC WILL BLOW THIS UNIT IN A NANO SECOND, AND CURRENT ABOVE THE RATED INPUT IS NOT RECOMMENDED EVEN FOR SHORT BURSTS, ALSO WATER COOLING MUST BE FLOWING AND BE AT THE RIGHT TEMP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO POWER UP THE UNIT. NO SHORT CUTS!
I WILL HAVE SOME COHERENT THERMOTEK SELF CONTAINED PELTIER DRIVEN LASER CHILLERS FOR THESE LASER DIODES COMING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF A NEW ONE, THESE SOLID STATE CHILLERS ARE THE SIZE OF A SHOE BOX, I ALSO WILL HAVE A FEW CONSTANT CURRENT LAB HIGH END POWER SUPPLIES WHICH ARE PERFECT FOR THIS LASER, LOOK OUT FOR THEM LISTED SOON.
Now for the standard scary warnings and such:
1) You Are over 18 and know the potential hazards inherent in high power laser equipment. THERE ARE NO "OOPS THAT WAS BRIGHT" SECOND CHANCES WITH THIS LASER! A single careless glance into the beam or its reflection WILL PERMANENTLY BLIND YOU FOREVER! To the eye the scattered output looks as bright as a red laser pointer, but that same "weak looking" beam will light a piece of news paper on fire in about 1/4 of a second!
3 )The energy is sufficient that this laser will damage and render useless sensitive items like photo detectors, most non-thermal laser power meters, and security cameras from direct exposure to the beam.
4) The energy is sufficient that the beam will cause a severe burn if you get zapped by it, and is of sufficient power that a fire hazard could exist. DO NOT use near flammable materials!
5) You WILL use this device in a safe and sane manner for a legal purpose.
6) You know the electronic safety precautions necessary with this item and therefore accept the working on arrival warranty.
DANGER THIS IS A CLASS IV, 4. 100 WATT CONTINUOUS WAVE 808nm LASER DIODE. VISIBLE AND/OR INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION AVOID EYE AND SKIN EXPOSURE TO DIRECT OR SCATTERED RADIATION.
CERTIFIED SERVICEABLE LASER EYEWARE IS CRITICAL, NOT WELDING MASKS OR INFERIOR CHEAP TYPES.
NOTE THE 808nm WAVELENGTH IS INVISIBLE TO HUMANS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT SEE INFRARED, THIS MAKES THIS LASER EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. VISIBLE LASERS LIKE GREEN, RED AND BLUE ARE THE MOST SAFE, HENCE YOU CAN SEE THE BEAM AND QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OR AVOID THE BEAM ALL TOGETHER. WITH THIS LASER THERE IS SO MUCH INFRARED LIGHT EMITTED FROM THIS LASER THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A RED LASER DIODE OUTPUT BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS ONE CARELESS GLANCE INTO THE BEAM WILL VAPORIZE BOTH YOUR RETINAS IN A NANOSECOND.
