Talk:Types of Lasers

Colin, your amazing and this Wiki is great. I was reading over the HeNe section this statement is contained, "If the mirrors are placed at Brewster's Angle then the laser will have a Polarized output. Some HeNe lasers have mirrors that are external to the glass tube and some have mirrors bonded into the glass tube."

I am not sure how the mirrors can be placed at brewsters in an in line cavity. But I didn't want to change is as I surely could be lacking in understanding here.

Also, I have taken pictures of my SP Argon Ion and will be uploading them soon. I will let you link them where you think best or tell me and I will do it. I assume in this section would be one good place to link them.

Also, with these discussions, would it be advantageous to delete the discussions after they are outdated or leave them?

No you are right it should be Brewster's windows with external mirrors. Your understanding is exactly correct.

For now leaving the discussions helps people to realize what the pages are for so I have been leaving them.

PS Have you seen the MOPA page? It is comming along. I'll announce it when it is further along.


Yes I have seen it. Your doing an amazing job. I am grateful for your unending enthusiasm for the WIKI. John


Colin, I don't seem to be able to see the photos of the Argon Ion laser I uploaded. I could see them the day I uploaded them but not for the laser week or so. Is it on my end or on the Wiki end? John


This is aproblem on my end. I can't seem to find the setting for the Max image size. I think it is set to around 50K. When I have had problems like thi I make the picture files smaller. I looked for a good 40 minutes for the setting but I cna't find it. I'll keep working on it.


If it's easier, you can just make the files smaller so that they are displayed. John
