Quantel SF40809 nd:yag laser unit w/9MM rod, continuum
Quantel SF40809 Nd:YAG Laser Unit
For sale- a Quantel SF40809 Nd:YAG laser unit. This is not a laser system, just the rod holder assembly. It does have a rod installed, which is 9mm by about 3 long. Overall the holder assembly is more than double that, as the rod appears to be recessed in about 2 on either end. As I think you can see this is a water cooled laser assembly. I assume it has flashlamps on board as well. I have used the brand name Continuum in the listing title only because Quantel eventually became Continuum. This piece predates that and does not say Continuum on it anywhere.
I had two identical laser units, each fed into a Jobin Yvon Dye laser unit. I have one of the Jobin Yvon pieces listed currently. A number of the small optical parts from one of the Quantel/Vibraplane units have been sold, the other is still relatively intact minus an optical isolator. So for now I am just selling the Nd:YAG laser here, plus the other pair in a separate listing, but I have another set just like them on the other more complete laser unit. And I think I may have a copper cover that goes over this, but I would have to check to make sure.
Looking through the rod mounted here, end to end, it is clear with a slight pinkish hue. I really don t know what to look for, but a university professor that bought a Continuum laser from me took a look at them and said the optics looked good. That isn t a guarantee, just his observation. If you want a peek send me an email and I will send you a picture looking through it. But the piece is completely untested, and no warranty is offered.
Please check out my other listings for more interesting lab, laser, and optical equipment. I have a variety of optical isolators coming in next week. Check back often! Plus I have several stacks of Quantel electronics, including the HV power supplies that were attached. If you have an interest in some of the electronics let me know and I will try to get that listed as well.
