I know I'm new to this place, but I have a laser for sale that thought may be of interest / relevant to holographers.
I do know Jem, so I'm not a complete stranger
For sale is a fine Coherent Sapphire 488-200 OPSL laser.
Ideal for many purposes, including holography.
It includes everything you need to get going:
- Laser Head (488-200 Rated at 200mW)
Power Supply (110-240V)
Blower (110V only)
All cables and connectors
PC Control Software
Printed manual
Engineers installation report
2x Control Dongles for the laser power supply
A 200W UK -> USA power converter (not included if shipping to US. Not much point sending it, and quite heavy!)
And the EEPROM reads that the laser head has seen 940 hours. These units have been reported to last for 10,000-15,000 hours on average.
The engineers installation report states the laser outputted 206mW when first configured.
The Coherent laser head is packaged inside a plastic housing as it was badged an Lyt200s for use in a flow Cytometry machine.
I've used this laser for approximately 1-2 hours to have a tinker with, however using the PC software, I can't work out how to make the laser output more than 70-80mW. Perhaps there is a potentiometer on the power supply board to change this.
I am willing to post worldwide, however with all the parts this system is quite heavy, so please ask for a postage estimate. Buyer is responsible for all related postage/customs/import fees and duties.
Payment is to be made by cash (on collection) or PayPal (buyer pays extra for fees) or online bank transfer.
Open to all cash offers...
Feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers,
Dan
