This list is constantly evolving (even if the revision number doesn't
change!) and will continue to do so forever, so check back
frequently or risk missing out on what you always dreamed of owning! :)
I am also looking for a variety of items including (of course) lasers of
all kinds and high vacuum equipment and accessories. See the "Wanted to
Acquire" section at the end of this page.
I may be contacted directly via the
Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ
Email Links Page. Use the "Feedback" button on that page
to Sam Goldwasser, any subject heading. Thanks.
Note: Although this page may be resident at some of my mirror sites,
the only official version is at: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/sale/.
For large items I must also add a small packing fee to cover my
time and expenses. But for the most part, there are no handling
or other hidden charges. Faster shipping is available at extra cost.
I can also do international shipping using FedEX but ONLY with YOUR FedEx
account number. They are much higher cost than USPS but the tracking is
better and FedEx will actually get it there when they promise. However, I
have never had USPS actually lose or damage an properly packaged shipment,
though sometimes it may take much much longer to get to the destination. The
only way I'll consider some other carrier is for YOU to do all the paperwork
and email the PDFs (including shipping label, commercial invoice, and
any other required documents) that go with the package. I will provide
package weight and size when available and other information that would
be required.
A much preferred alternative for non-USA addresses is for me to ship
to a USA address who can then forward it to you anywhere in the World.
Find a friend in the USA who would be willing to do this. There are
also shipping companies for this purpose.
However, if I do agree to send it direct, in addition to the shipping
charges, I may have to add a hassle fee since non-USA destination (including
Canada) entail additional time and effort, sorry. The fair market or
insurance value of the item(s) will be used for the Customs form and
the buyer is responsible for any Customs duty on the receiving end.
Note: Please include your phone number when supplying address information
on foreign orders.
Furthermore (as if the above is not enough), I will NOT send items out of
the USA which may have export control issues. It really isn't worth the
hassle for me to determine what is allowed to your country, so don't
bother to ask. Sorry.
or through the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ
Email Links Page which ends up at the same place.
Subsequent communication will be
using direct email so you MUST provide a valid email address
on the Feedback form. Please double check it! We will never give
out your email address to anyone. DON'T use "anonymous" if you expect
a reply and make sure it's addressed to: Samuel Goldwasser.
I can't read minds and my crystal ball is still out for repairs! :-)
Be sure to include the item number(s) you're interested in and
any questions you have about them. If you're serious about ordering, include
your zipcode so I can figure the shipping cost. I will usually reply within
12 hours, usually quicker during the day (despite what it says about
up to a week on the Feedback Form page, unless it's addressed to the
wrong recipient!).
For HeNe laser heads and tubes at rock bottom prices, see the various
"homeless" specials below. I do have other HeNe lasers, tubes, and
heads avaialble. So, if there is something you'd like that's not listed,
feel free to contact me via the email link at the top of this page.
Red (632.8 nm):
These are arranged roughly by increasing output power.
Green (543.5 nm), yellow (594.1 nm), Orange (604 and 612 nm), and IR (1,523 nm):
Kits for home-built stabilized HeNe lasers may be found under
HeNe Laser and SFPI Kits.
In addition to their intended metrology applications, these lasers can be
ideal as laboratory stabilized HeNe lasers and optical frequency/wavelength
reference lasers.
Some of these lasers may also be available for rental on a monthly basis
with option to buy.
Note 2: Since HP/Agilent and Zygo interferometer optics are often the same,
see the Zygo Metrology Lasers and Accessories section for optics as well
if you are interested in optics.
Note 3: There may be other HP/Agilent lasers available. And in particular,
some of the 5517Bs may be adjusted to meet 5517C specs upon request (REF of
2.4-3.0 MHz, similar output power to what's listed for the 5517B).
Note 4: Unless otherwise noted, all HP/Agilent lasers have 6 mm beam optics.
3 mm or 9 mm optics may be available.
Note 5: Rather than trying to select among the various lasers listed below,
it may be better to contact me with your requirements.
Note: Since HP/Agilent and Zygo interferometer optics are often the same,
see the HP/Agilent Metrology Lasers and Accessories section for optics as well
if you are interested in optics.
Note: Since HP/Agilent, Zygo, and Excel interferometer optics are often the
same, see the HP/Agilent and Zygo Metrology Lasers and Accessories section
for optics as well if you are interested in optics.
While I do not currently have any Axsys lasers, some Teletrac lasers can
be used as drop-in replacements.
Common (unstabilized) HeNe laser kits:
Stabilized one or two mode HeNe laser kits:
Axial and transverse Zeeman HeNe laser kits:
Scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometer (SFPI) kits:
Red (632.8 nm) HeNe laser tubes and heads:
Green (543.5 nm), yellow (594.1 nm), orange (604 and 612 nm), and
IR (1,523 nm) HeNe laser tubes and heads:
A basic setup consits of a one or two Brewster window
or perpendicular window "plasma" tube, and one or two mirrors on adjustable
mounts. Various other components like apertures, waveplates, and
birefringent filters can be inserted inside the laser cavity. These
would all be mounted on a baseplate, optical table/breadboard,
or optical rail.
While HeNe plasma tubes having windows at both ends are most general,
their availability is quite limited. I don't know of a commercial
source for them even if price were no concern. There are a few companies
that provide educational kits that include tubes and other optical
components. These are very well done but also extremely expensive.
Most of the tubes below have one Brewster window and
an internal OC or HR mirror. While not quite as general, this does
simplify alignment and reduces the number of surfaces that need to be
kept spotless. Compatible power supplies are generally available (though
not listed specifically), as well as a wide variety of OC and HR mirrors
with RoCs from 25 cm to 3 m.
One Brewster or one window:
The following are various laser tubes, heads, or more complex
assemblies where the tube has an internal mirror at one end
and a Brewster angle window or AR-coated
perpendiculaor window at the other end. Most of these have a wide
bore and are easy to align, but will generally be multi-spatial mode
using a medium radius mirror without an aperture inside the cavity, or
the use of some other means of mode control. The design wavelength in
all cases is 633 nm (normal HeNe red) unless otherwise noted,
but some are capable of at least a bit of orange
(612 nm and maybe 605 nm) or yellow (594.1 nm) as noted. If not noted,
other wavelengths may still be possible but this has not been confirmed.
1-B and 1-W tubes/heads are great for general experimentation using an
external cavity laser without the hassle of critical alignment and
optics cleaning at both ends. In general, heads are more robust but
don't have the way-cool appearance of bare tubes. :-)
See the section: HeNe Laser Optics
for inexpensive mirrors that will work great with these laser heads.
For a kit with most of the parts required to build a one-Brewster
laser, see the section: HeNe Laser Kits.
Detailed instructions for setting up one-Brewster heads and tubes can
be found in Care and Feeding of the
Climet 9048 One-Brewster HeNe Laser Head and
Care and Feeding of the
One-Brewster HeNe Laser Tube, respectively.
Most of these are hard-seal (frit or optically contacted) meaning
they do not need to be run periodically to maintain health. Those that
are soft-sealed are noted as such. They work just as well but should
be run periodically to keep them that way.
All 1-B or 1-W tubes include Alden cable with ballast and clips. All 1-B or
1-W tubes and heads include a new/NOS 7.75 mm diameter OC or HR mirror (your
choice pending availability) that will work well with them. If ordered with
an enclosure or base, the complete rig will come fully assembled.
Two Brewster or two window:
Also see the listings for "Complete HeNe Lasers" as the Siemens LGK7676,
SP-120, and SP-127 are external mirror lasers with 2-B tubes.
All tubes include short Alden cable with ballast and clips.
If in doubt about compatibility with your HeNe laser tube or head, email
me via the link near the top of this page with the model number or other
specifications. And others may be available. Email with your requirements.
And while supplies last (4 at present), for an additional $10, I will include
a well used and somewhat ugly plastic box with power cord, power switch, power
indicator and internal fuse. These will hold most smaller bricks,
approximately 6-3/4x5-1/8x2-1/2 inches.
Email with specific requirements if you don't see what you want.
Many are suitable for use with the Brewster heads and tubes listed above.
Some types may be used to construct high resolution confocal Scanning
Fabry-Perot Interferometers (SFPIs) for red or green wavelengths.
The planar mirrors may be used as turning or bounce mirrors from
normal to 30-45 degrees incidence, or more in some cases depending on
wavelength.
Large quantities of some of these may be available at a discount.
Inquire for details.
Red (633 nm), new/NOS:
Many types are available including:
Red (633 nm, salvaged):
Green (543.5 nm) and yellow (594.1 nm), new/NOS:
The wavelength range is quite broad on one side for these. For example,
the HENEMIRY-5m which is 99.9%R or higher for 594.1 nm, makes a near optimal
OC for 633 nm.
The following 2 laser diodes are for experimental purposes with limited
specifications but should work well to pump DPSS green lasers up to about
100 mW and IR lasers up to about 400 mW. Samples have been tested with
both CASIX DPM MCAs and in Uniphase uGreen DPSS lasers. They are NOS
(new old stock) which means never used but a few years old. I will test
the diode(s) I ship for threshold current and current at maximum power.
Specifications were determined based on testing and their use in uGreen
lasers and comparison with similar diodes with known specs.
Like all bare laser diodes, these are extremely sensitive to Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD), overcurrent, and other causes. The warranty on these diodes
is only for misrepresentation of wavelength or maximum power. See the
DISCLAIMER and WARRANTY Form for High Power Laser
Diodes.
LD-SCL2372-P1 SDL 2 W multimode 808 nm laser diode in - $ 400.00
temperature controlled package with monitor
photodiode. This is what you need to repair
that tired weak Coherent 532 DPSS laser.
The following 3 laser diodes are for experimental purposes with limited
specifications but they do lase. They are NOS (new old stock) which means
never used but a few years old. I will test the diode(s) I ship for
threshold current and current at maximum power but that's it. To
determine what's listed below, samples of each type were tested
using an LDC-3900 laser diode controller. Wavelength was determined
using an Ando Optical Spectrum analyzer. Maximum output power was
estimated by increasing current in increments of 10 mA until output
didn't continue to increase or decreased. The rated power was then
assumed to be a nice round number below this value. :) Interestingly,
all tested diodes recovered fully unless pushed way beyond this point.
The power versus current data for three samples is plotted in
Single Mode Diodes Data.
They were determined to be single mode by using a 12 mm focal length lens
to project a spot on a screen about 1 meter away. The spot was a nice
point. A multi-transverse mode diode would result in a line which would
be a 80X or so magnified image of the stripe.
The beam shoots away from the mounting surface (C-mounts come in both
types). Like all bare laser diodes, these are extremely sensitive to static
and reverse polarity. Warranty on these diodes is only for misrepresentation
of wavelength, maximum power, or single mode. A refund will be issued if
any of these specs are found to be in error. Since high power single mode
laser diodes usually go for 3 or 4 times what I'm charging, it's a small risk
as long as you know how to safely drive this type of laser diode.
Like all bare laser diodes, these are extremely sensitive to Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD), overcurrent, and other causes. The warranty on these diodes
is only for misrepresentation of wavelength or maximum power. See the
DISCLAIMER and WARRANTY Form for High Power Laser Diodes.
Closeups of Samples of These C-Mount Diodes.
LD840-1 C-mount laser diode, 835-845 nm, appears to 10 $ 150.00
be single transverse mode, typical threshold
current around 30 mA. Probably rated 150 to
200 mW max. A sample was tested to 240 mW.
Slope efficiency: 0.83. C-mount is positive.
LD980-1 C-mount laser diode, 980-990 nm, appears to 20 $ 125.00
be single transverse mode, typical threshold
current around 27 mA. Probably rated 100 mW
max. A sample was tested to 140 mW. Slope
efficiency: 0.75. C-mount is positive. Uses
include pumping erbium:glass microchip lasers.
LD980-2 C-mount laser diode, 980-990 nm, appears to 9 $ 100.00
be single transverse mode, typical threshold
current around 15 mA. Probably rated 100 mW
max. A sample was tested to 130 mW. Slope
efficiency: 0.8. C-mount is NEGATIVE -
opposite of normal! Uses include pumping
erbium:glass microchip lasers.
The following are other diode laser related items.
DIOLASE1 Scanditronix Diolase 1 laser line generator. 2 $ 50.00
NOS. Adjustable focus and orientation.
Built-in driver with power switch and power
indicator, input: 9 VDC.
DIOLASE2 Scanditronix Diolase 2 laser line generator. 1 $ 75.00
NOS. Dual version of Diolase 1.
MGLINE1 Melles Griot laser line generator, adjustable 3 $ 15.00
optics (sort of), 670 nm, 12 VDC input, with
driver board. Includes mounting clamp. Line
generating optics are removable, resulting in
the equivalent of a clunky laser pointer. :)
The following "LDs" are mostly bare laser diodes with no driver. At
these prices, they are excellent candidates whos scrifices will be
justified for your first laser diode experiments. :)
LD1-1 Laser diodes in aluminum block with fixed - $ 1.50
collimating lens in aluminum block, 670 nm,
1-2 mW maximum output. These are from some
sort of barcode scanners. $1.50 each or
4 for $5.
LD1-2 As above but with clamp for collimating lens - $ 2.00
so it can be adjusted. $2 each or 3 for $5.
LD2-1 2-3 mW 670 nm laser diode in small block with 5 $ 3.00
screw adjustable collimating lens. Cute. :)
LD4-1 2-3 mW 670 nm laser diode in brass cylinder - $ 2.00
with collimator. This assembly appears to Pic
clamp the (probably) 9 mm LD in place so
it may be possible to replace it with one of
your own. Comes with driver PCB. The
connections to run the diode will be
provided but I haven't figured out the
others. The lens is adjustable but saeled
with adhesive. $2 each or 3 for $5.
Here are some Uniphase uGreen lasers and accessories. Other parts may be
available. Email if interested.
All are very high quality units consisting either of a laser head and
controller/power supply or integrated unit. They come complete with
DC power supplies and heatsinks where required and are essentially
turn-key systems. The DPSS and OPSL lasers are single frequency
(single longitudinal mode, SLM). The diode lasers have built-in
analog and high speed modulation capability.
This set of lasers will get your laser lab off to a flying start for a
fraction of the cost of buying from the manufacturers. All lasers are
guaranteed to exceed original specifications. Other wavelengths
or output powers, as well as customized packaging may be available.
Inquire for details and pricing.
There are all confocal configurations simplifying alignment. A lower FSR
(like 1.5 GHz) provides higher resolution but will result in "aliasing"
where the laser has a wide gain bandwidth. High FSR units (e.g., 30 GHz)
may be more suitable for diode lasers but are more finicky to align and
generally have lower finesse. For HeNe lasers, 1.5 to 2 GHz is optimal.
For most ion lasers, 8 GHz is wide enough. For testing single frequency
lasers, any FSR will be fine so a lower FSR is preferred due to easier
alignment and generally higher finesse.
Other mirror sets or SFPI setups may be available, ask.
For these higher value items, all reasonable offers will be considered.
SFPI Heads, Mirrors, Accessories:

SFPI Ramp Drivers/PD Preamps:
System and Custom Options:
Again this is on a BEST EFFORTS basis. I may ask you to sign a waiver
to this effect. If your laser is irreplaceable, go to a real laser
service company and pay the big bucks! For these lasers, other services
may be available and for other lasers discussed in the Laser FAQ but
not listed here, please ask. However, I will not deal with lasers
requiring three-phase AC power (if they can't be converted to single phase)
and/or a fork-lift to move! :)
Where only testing options are listed, repair or restoration may be available
on a time and materials basis. Please ask.
Special note to eBay (or other) sellers: To honestly represent what you
have available, it is really best to have it tested, and possibly
adjusted for optimum performance. Sure, you can sell it "As Is" or
"Powers Up but no further testing done". But if it's likely the
equipment does work, then being able to list test results will
bring in top dollar, easily 5X or 10X what the "as-is" high
bid would be! Please contact me for special
arrangements, trades, or other payment options on testing of lasers or
components. For example, I will consider deals that include part of
the payment based on net proceeds after auction expenses. Quantity
discounts also available.
And for buyers, it may be possible for you to negotiate to have testing
done with acceptable results as a condition of sale.
In terms of repairs, while I cannot perform miracles (at least not on a
regular basis), I can often extend the life of an otherwise useless laser
at very modest cost with a variety of techniques including some that
companies like HP/Agilent won't acknowledge exist because they would
prefer you buy an expensive new laser. This may provide at least a
few more months of service in a 24/7 application or years if powered
up on-demand.
Note: I may have to add a combat surcharge to orders for these magnets.
Trying to pry them loose from their buddies is a real treat capable of
serious injury!
If in doubt about whether I might want that pallet of laser power supplies
you're about to send to the crusher, please ask! :) Even if I don't want
them, I may know someone who does - and even pay! I may be contacted via
the email link near the beginning of this document.
The following are in no particular order except maybe the first few with
most recent interests at the top:
Currently, I'm looking for "Smart Sensors" for the Coherent Fieldmaster,
dead or alive. Most useful would be a low to medium power VIS-NIR (say
up to 1 W) and a thermal sensor good up to 100 W CW. Other Fieldmaster
parts including a spare main unit. Also, Scientech thermal sensors and
readouts. And/or a sensor head for a Coherent model 213. All types
of laser power/energy meters and sensor heads for parts or repair.
Some specific items include:
Specifically, Pfeiffer/Balzers TPH/TPU-050/055/062 or similar small or
slightly larger turbo pump in operational condition or in almost any
condition for spare parts-and-show and tell. TCP-040/120/121 electronic
drive units. Replacement oil cartridge in usable condition for the
TPH/TPU-050 (probably doesn't exist anymore). Also, mating flange
for the TPU-050. Medium size turbo pump and controller as well.

Table of Contents
Introduction
Sam (yes, that's me, Silicon Sam or Laser Sam, take your pick!) has a variety
of parts, equipment, and other stuff that have
been accumulated over the years as well as new/surplus items I have acquired
in my search for the most interesting devices to test and document for
the FAQs. These are almost exclusively for Sam's Laser FAQ including lasers
and laser components, optics, laser and optical instruments, and vacuum
related items. But there are electronic items and simply strange (and in
some cases unidentified) items as well.
This is what's in my back room, attic, basement, under the couches and beds,
and generally hidden wherever possible. Please support the FAQs by helping
me get these neat items back in use and out of my house! :)
Terms and Conditions
Questions and Ordering
I don't have a fancy shopping cart and checkout procedure that doesn't work
though Filip has been threatening to set something up :) so please contact me
initially via the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ
Lasers and Optics
Helium-Neon Lasers
Note: All output powers are actual measured values after about a
10 minute warmup, not CDRH safety ratings which may be much higher and
totally impossible to achieve under any conditions. Wavelength is 632.8 nm
(normal orange-red), and the beam is randomly polarized TEM00 (single
transverse mode) with normal divergence (1 to 2 mR), unless otherwise noted.
The listings are very roughly ordered from low to high power.
Complete HeNe Lasers
These include self-contained lasers as well as laser head/power supply
combinations. Also see "HeNe Laser Kits", below, for some low voltage DC
powered HeNe lasers. Note: For AC power supply bricks, a fast blow 1 amp fuse
is required for safety since there is no way to know if there is an internal
fuse. Add $5.00 to any of the AC input laser heads/power supply brick
combinations and I will include a fuse and line cord. Green and yellow
HeNe lasers listed after red ones.

SP-256 exciter in near mint condition. Pic
Instant start, over 8 mW after short
warmup. Has the original tube which as
far as I can tell must be optically contacted
or a very lucky sealing job because it does
not degrade on the shelf. Nice large shiny
getter with almost no indication of erosion
around edge. Dull gray paint job, almost
perfect on head, a few scuffs on
exciter. Be the first on your planet to

Metrology HeNe Lasers and Accessories
These are mostly from HP/Agilent and Zygo. Lasers that meet manufacturer
specifications come with a minimum of a 90 day (3 month) warranty as noted.
This warranty can usually be extended to 180 days (6 months) for
an additional 10 percent of the laser's purchase price. All
others have at least a 10 day DOA warranty.
Feel free to make reasonable offers.
Trades (in addition to those listed below) of lasers, electronics, or
optics, may be considered to reduce the price. I will also test, adjust,
and repair these lasers and am set up to do quantity testing for eBay
(or other) sellers with flat fee, consignment, or other arrangments
including service warranties. Contact me for details. Discounts available.
HP/Agilent Metrology HeNe Lasers and Accessories
Note 1: Unless otherwise noted, all of these lasers and laser tubes meet
HP/Agilent specifications. Several are like new and would be entirely
suitable for use in a production environment. However, unless otherwise
noted, having seen significant use, most are recommended for applications
where the laser is turned on only when required or for testing, demonstration,
education, and research. Most of these have at least a 90 day warranty (and
fingers crossed) I've yet to have a warranty return. And I certainly don't
expect them to drop dead at 91 days! :) But their useful life could be
measured in many years if only turned on when needed. For most
applications, there is no real benefit to leaving lasers like this on
continuously if not being used even if the rest of the tool remains
powered. Contact me for more specific suggestions on maximizing the
life of HP/Agilent metrology lasers.

all the stops pulled out so-to-speak so that they meet
5517B specs despite being high mileage lasers. PLEASE
READ: Adjustments may include starter helper, ballast
augmentation, and REF modification. These do NOT represent
a fountain of youth - they only allow an otherwise useless
laser to provide some additional service.
But these lasers would make great low cost emergency spares
for almost any tool using a similar 5517. They would also
serve as research, experimenter, or hobbyist interferometer
lasers. 6 mm beam diameter unless noted, can convert to 3

HENESFPI1-1 Scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometer Kit 1 - $ 50.00
This kit consists of a pair of mirrors, SFPI 1 Kit Parts
~99.8%@633nm, RoC of 43 mm, 7-8 mm diameter) Typical Scan
to construct a confocal cavity with an FSR
of 1.75 GHz, an Si PD, and a piezo element
with a hole drilled through its center.
Some mechanical skills and assorted readily
available materials will be required to
construct the SFPI, which will enable
the longitudinal modes of most TEM00
red HeNe lasers to be displayed in real
time. A function generator may be used
as a driver, or one can easily be built.
An oscilloscope (almost any type) or
data acquisition system (not included)
will be required for the display. See the
sections of Sam's Laser FAQ starting with
Scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometers.
for more details. Mirrors are also
available individually. See HENEMIR-S1
under HeNe Laser Optics.
The photo of the scan is actually using the
HENESFPI2 below, but your results with
this kit should be the same since the mirrors,
PZT, and photodiode are identical. The
finesse at 633 nm can exceed 500 which
may actually surpass the performance of
a $5,000 instrument. The finesse falls
to around 250 at 594 nm (yellow HeNe),
which is still quite exceptional. At
532 nm it is quite poor, but still might
be adequate to determine if a laser is
single longitudinal mode (single
frequency). Performance above 633 nm
is not known at this time, but the
finesse should still be decent to
to 650 or 660 nm.
HENESFPI1-R Similar to above but select from mirrors in , - $ 30.00
HeNe Laser Cavity Mirrors.
Price applies to most mirrors that are
$6-10 each. The FSR will be c/4*RoC or
approximately 7.5*109/RoC where
RoC is in cm. Note that the reflectivity
of the other RoC mirrors is typically
99-99.5%@633 nm so the finesse is not as
high (100-150).
HENESPFI2-1 Deluxe SFPI kit. Everything in HENESFPI1-1 - $ 200.00
plus Thorlabs mechanical cage parts to mount Frame and Parts
the mirrors, PZT, and photodiode, Assembled Display
as well as a few other bits and pieces
to complete the SFPI. Some assembly and
creativity will still be required but
this eliminates the need for much of
the midnight scavanging. :) The photos
show the completed head assembly on a
3-screw adjustable platform (not included)
and a screen shot of a typical scan for
a Melles Griot 05-LHR-151 HeNe laser made
with it.
HENESFPI2-A Similar to HENESPFI2-1 but includes a 3-screw - $ 275.00
adjustable mount for the front mirror which Assembled/w Mount
makes initial setup easier but is not
essential.
HENESFPI2-R Similar to HENESPFI2-1 but select from mirrors - Ask
from HeNe Laser Cavity Mirrors.
The FSR will be c/4*RoC or approximately
7.5*109/RoC where RoC is in cm.
The RoCs of the two mirrors must be identical
and the distance between mirrors is the RoC.
The main difference between this and the
HENESPFI2-1 is that the rods are longer.
The price will be $5-10 higher per inch of
additional RoC. Examples below.
HENESFPI2-20 HENESFPI2 with 20 cm RoC 98.5%R@633nm mirrors - $ 225.00
for an FSR of 375 MHz and finesse of around
100.
HENESFPI2-45 HENESFPI2 with 45 cm RoC HR@633nm mirrors - $ 300.00
for an FSR of 250 MHz and finesse that could
exceed 1000. This may be difficult to align
but could have spectacular performance.
HENESFPI1-RA Similar to HENESPFI2-R but includes a 3-screw - Add $75
adjustable mount which makes initial setup
easier but is not essential.
SFPIRDRV-P1 Blank PCB for 60 V ramp driver that may be - $ 20.00
used with any SFPI using a high sensitivity Completed SGSF1
PZT like the one in the HENESPFI kits. This
eliminates the need for a function generator
and provide enough voltage swing to cover
multiple FSRs. Also includes an adjustable
gain photodiode preamp. A complete parts
list and assembly instructionsa will be
provided. Electronic components NOT
included.
HENEZYTB1 HeNe laser tube from Zygo 7701/7702 lasers. 2 $ 75.00
These may be REJECTs for metrology service,
but should be fine for experimental
stabilized HeNe lasers. The symptom is
that some may glitch and possibly mode
flip once in a few hours. Others may be
fine. Output power of at least 2.5 mW.
Require 5-5.5 mA at around 2 KV.
HeNe Laser Heads and Tubes
If you don't see something here (particularly for low to medium power),
email me via the link at the top of this page. I may have it or know where
to get it. Or, ask you need a HeNe laser but don't know which one
would be suitable. Or, if you have a HeNe tube you'd like mounted in
a proper head cylinder, that can ba arranged.

HENEATH1-12 Aerotech 12+ mW HeNe laser head with Alden 2 $ 125.00
cable. Note: Beam of all HENEATH1s has a Pic
slight multimode (LG01) profile - a dougnnut
shape with a faint dot in the center - not
pure TEM00 but the divergence is comparable to
that of a typical TEM00 laser. I think this is
by design as the laser heads are labelled 512MR
(12 mW, multimode, random polarized). :)
Laser head length is about 25 inches, tube
is about 19 inches. The extra space was
supposed to be for an internal power supply
but I didn't have one when I rebuilt this
head, and installed the Alden cable with
end-cap instead. I do have one now, see
AC Input HeNe Laser Power Supply Modules.
These are definitely more interesting than
your average boring red laser head! :)
HENEATT1-12 Aerotech 12+ mW HeNe laser tube. I believe this 1 $ 90.00
is the same tube as used in HENEATH1-12, above.
More power may be possible by walking the
mirrors (preferably after adding adjusters).
(I've gotten over 17 mW from one sample but
doubt this one can come anywhere close.)
Tube length is about 19 inches.
HENEATH5-14 Aerotech HeNe laser head with Alden cable 1 $ 110.00

HeNe Laser Brewster and Window Heads and Tubes
There are HeNe laser tubes which require an external mirror or mirrors to
complete the laser cavity with the result often called an "open cavity
laser" to distinguish it from the common internal mirror HeNe laser tube
where everything is sealed inside and inaccessible.
Aside from replacements for various rather specialized equipment like
particle counters and Raman gas analyzers, they
are most often used in educational laser lab courses to demonstrate various
aspects of laser construction, operation, resonator stability, spacial and
longitudinal modes, and more. These also represent
true "laser jock" lasers for the serious hobbyist or experimenter. ;-)
In addition to the individual components
listed below, more complete setups may be available along with sets of
mirrors most useful for these sorts of experiments.
Sam Part # Description Qty.Avl. Price/ea.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HENEMGR568h1 Melles Griot 05-LHB-568 ultra-high Q 1-B 0 $ 650.00
HeNe laser head. Optically contacted Pic 1
B-window, requires 1,500 V, 6.5 mA.
The Melles Griot specs claim 30 WATTS
intracavity power with an optimal external
HR mirror. I can't really test that but
do get 6 mW out with a 45 cm 98.5% OC,
which is excellent for a tube of this length.
New/NOS. Optically contacted/hard-sealed.
Internal HR has a RoC of 60 cm. New/NOS.
Includes one (1) 60 cm superpolished HR
mirror which Melles Griot specifies for
use with this tube.
HENEMGR568h3 Similar to above but no flange, about 6 mW 1 $ 550.00
with 45 cm RoC 98.5% OC. Test unit, but
like new condition.
HENEMGR568t1 Tube used in 05-LHB-568 laser head, 5-6 mW - $ 550.00
with 98.5% OC mirror. New/NOS, Hughes- Pic 1
style, about 10.5 inches long. (These
are all labeled 30 W or more referring
to peak intra-cavity power with super
high quality external HR.)
HENEMGR568t2 Similar to above but chunk missing from B-window 1 $ 500.00
doesn't affect seal or operation. Lifetime
warranty (yours or the tube's) against
failure due to B-window seal. The chunk
is included. ;-)
HENEMGR568t3 Similar to above but small speck of something 1 $ 450.00
inside B-window, really doesn't affect
operation.
HENEMGR569h1 Melles Griot 05-LHB-569 ultra-high Q 1-B 4 $ 750.00
HeNe laser head. Similar to above but spec Pic 1
says 60 WATTS intracavity
power. Yikes! I don't know if this sample
can do that much but it works very well.
New/NOS. The internal HR has an RoC of 60 cm.
HENEMGR569h2 Melles Griot 05-LHB-568 ultra-high Q 1-B 1 $ 650.00
HeNe laser head. Similar to above and Pic 1
tests the same but pulled from working
equipment.
HENEMGR563h1 Melles Griot 05-LHB-563 1-B laser head. This 2 $ 550.00
has a tube with an internal OC. It
will produce 1.5-2.5 mW out the front, 0.5
to 1.5 mW out the back with an external OC;
5+ mW out the back with an external 45 cm RoC
HR. The internal OC has a RoC of 60 cm.
New/NOS.
HENEMGR562h1 Similar to HENEMGR562, above, but there 2 $ 450.00
is a bit of debris inside the B-window so Pic 1
the maximum power out the back with an HR
is a bit lower - 3-4 mW. Still quite
respectable.
HENEMGG563h1 Melles Griot 05-LGB-563 1-B *GREEN* HeNe 4 $ 550.00
laser head. Physically similar to 05-LHB-568 Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
1-B red laser head, above, but the internal
mirror is a 543.5 nm green OC. This
will run with either an external green OC or
HR. Total power out both ends is 0.5 to 1 mW
at 543,5 nm. A new 543.5 nm HR mirror will
be included. Or use for single pass gain
measurements at 633 nm since the green mirror
has low reflectance at 633 nm. It may be
possible to get it to lase like a 2-B/2-W
tube for red - I was barely able to get a few
red photons using a planar HR and 45 cm,
98.5%@633nm OC. The optimal current is
5.5 mA. New/NOS.
HENEMGR379t1 Melles Griot 05-LHB-379 1-B tube, new/NOS. 4 $ 500.00
6.5-7+ mW with 98.5% 45 cm RoC OC mirror. Pic 1
Hard-sealed, about 12 inches in length.
The optimal current is 6.5 mA, will run
on HeNe laser power supply for 5 mW red
lasers such as 05-LPM-340 or -902.
New/NOS.
HENEMGR379t2 Melles Griot 05-LHB-379 1-B tube, similar 1 $ 450.00
to above but slightly used. Pic 1
HENEMGR564-1 Melles Griot 05-LHB-564 ultra-high Q 1-B 3 $ 450.00
laser tube. Short, easy to align, Pic
minimum of 1.5 mW with an optimal OC
mirror, 5 WATTs or more intra-cavity
with a super polished HR. 6 inches
overall length, Hughes style, new/NOS.
Includes one (1) 60 cm superpolished HR
mirror which Melles Griot specifies for
use with this tube and (1) OC which
will result in a minimum of 1.25 mW.
With 4-6 VDC input power supply brick
and 5 VDC power supply: $500.
In addition to general experiments with
a short open cavity HeNe, these can
be used to build a gain peak or possibly
Lamb Dip stabilized HeNe, as well as
other more exotic projects.
HENEMWHR-1 Melles Griot one-window HeNe laser tube, 1 $ 500.00
greater than 5 mW with suitable OC mirror.
This looks like a normal MG tube but with
perpendicular AR-coated window instead of
OC. Allows for intra-cavity polarization
control optics. New/NOS.
HENEENCL-1 Plexiglas enclosure for LHB-379 and similar - $ 375.00
12-14" 1 or 2 window tubes. (Or for Long Enclosure
an internal mirror tube WOW display.)
Includes outer cylinder with a pair of
3-screw adjustable rings, end-plates, and
tapped 1/4-20 holes in bottom to attach
to Newport posts. Provides protection
for fragile humans from the high voltage
and protection for the fragile tube
from humans. :)
With any of the tubes above, $325. The
pic shows an LHB-379 in all its glory.
Newport hardware not included.
HENEENCL-2 Similar to above but for LHB-568, LHB-370, - $ 335.00

With any of the tubes above, $300. The
pic shows an LHB-568 in all its glory.
Newport hardware not included.
HENEENCL-3 Similar to above but for LHB-564 and - $ 325.00
similar 1 and 2 window 5-6" tubes.
Exact dimensions TBD.
HENECUST-1 Custom length enclosure similar to above. - ASK
Price difference would be mostly due to
cost of Pelxiglas cylinder stock.
HENE1BHB-1 Base with twin-3-screw rings for 1-B laser 1 $ 350.00
heads like those above and adjustable Base/w 1-B Head
mirror mount that may be screwed down at
several locations. Comes witha 1" to 8 mm
adapter for HeNe mirrors. Shown with
05-LGB-563 GREEN 1-B laser heada, NOT
included.
HENE1BHB-2 Oriel 23.8" (600 mm) rail with 4 carriers, 1 $ 500.00
post holders and posts, mirror mount and
1" to 8mm adapter. Millimeter graduated
scale aids in setting distances. Like

TL-AD8T Thorlabs AD8T 1" to 8 mm adapter for cavity - $ 25.00
mirrors. (These are cheaper direct from
Thorlabs unless that's all you're buying
and have to add shipping! And sorry, I
don't include the yummy Lab Snacks.)
HENEREO1B-5a REO/PMS 1-B HeNe laser tube in very good 1 $ 375.00
condition. Should do more than 5 mW with 1-B Testing
appropriate OC (e.g., 98-99%@633nm, 45 cm
RoC). Note: These are soft-seal tubes which
like to be petted (run) frequently.
Probably a few hours/month or even every
few months would keep them happy nearly
forever. But don't let them go years
forgotten and neglected or they will
be beyond even miraculous cure. The
internal HR probably has a RoC 100 cm.
HENEREO1B-6b Similar to HENEREO1B-5a but is encased in 1 $ 400.00
a shroud which is not easily removed. Pic
This tube is capable of more than 6 mW.
The tube may be mounted either by its
exposed cylinder or via a pair of tapped
holes on the underside of the shroud.
A mirror mount can also be attached via
three tapped holes on the front of
the shroud. Using a 594 nm OC mirror,
there was also a hint of 612 nm in the
output. An *unmounted* mirror will be
included for your lasing pleasure.
HENEREO1B-5b Similar to HENEREO1B-6b but 5.0 to 6.0 mW. 1 $ 375.00
HENEREO1B-3b Similar to HENEREO1B-5b but 3.0 to 4.0 mW. 1 $ 250.00

REOMOUNT1 Fixed mount on short rail for PMS/REO HeNe 2 $ 35.00
metal-clad laser tubes (not heads or tubes Pic
glued into shrouds!). May be attached to
an optical table with holes on 1" centers.
(May require 1 hole to be drilled).
An optics carrier will need to be
fabricated if required. Tube not

Climet-1 Complete Climet 8654 particle measuring system 1 $ 575.00
optics/electronics assembly consisting of a Pic 1 Pic 2
Climet 9048 1-B laser head, sensing chamber,
photomultiplier tube with high voltage power
supply and optics, and more. Absolutely
pristine condition, probably a spare that was
never used.
Climet-2 Climet NON-LASER particle sensor thing. This 1 $ 50.00
was purchased by someone on eBay thinking it
had a nice one-Brewster or other interesting
HeNe laser tube in it. Nope, though it is
interesting. It consists of a low voltage
halogen lamp at one with some relay optics
to focus the lamp's filament into a narrow
glass tube that is between a pair of
compression fittings. A polished metal
parabolic reflector directs any scatter
into a UDT455 amplified photodiode. There
is also a yellow LED facing the sensor,
presumably for calibration, and some other
unidentified device facing the sample. Comes
with the original electronics board, untested.

HENEMG2B-1X Melles Griot 05-LHB-290 two-Brewster HeNe 1 $ 250.00
laser tube WEAK. The gas is healthy but
there is excess scatter on the *inside*
of one of the windows. I've gotten over
0.4 mW with a very sub-optimal cavity
configuration so more power should be
possible but it probably won't reach the
spec'd value of 1 mW. Still good for
external cavity mirror experiments and
challenges. :) This is a hard-seal tube,
so while it is weak, it won't get worse

tube. It is designed to fit in the end of a
head cylinder and connect directly to the tube
but could be mounted in some other way with a
short wire. However, since the ballast is built
in, adding a long cable would require snother
small ballast resistor near the tube. The
output is 6.5 mA at around 3,200 V.

HENEP-SH25 Spindler and Hoyer model 25 HeNe laser 1 $ 175.00
power supply. Excellent condition.
HENEP-JPS7 Jodon PS7 HeNe laser power supply. 5 kV 1 $ 250.00
at 11 mA (fixed), perfect for the Spectra-
Physics 907/127 and Siemens LGK-7626/7676
25-35 mW lasers. HV BNC output connector.

lasers. Set to 6.5 mA (adjustable) with
Alden connector.
HENEPS-CO80 Coherent Model 80 HeNe laser power supply. 1 $ 30.00
Something like 2,500 V, 5 mA (fixed) but
1 or more of the potted regulator transistors
may be shorted since it doesn't seem to have
much compliance range and 2,500 is generally
higher than most HeNe lasers are spec'd for
5 mA. The starter works well and this would
be a good base for a test supply on a Variac.
HENEPS-S3A-1 Spectra-Physics model 253A/122 exciter. This 1 Make
is the power supply for some versions of the offer
Spectra-Physics model 122 laser. It's a
switchmode power supply that generates 225,
300, or 375 V p-p at about 22 kHz to drive a
a potted voltage multiplier/start module in
the laser head. If you have an SP-122 laser
and need this, you'll know exactly what it
is. Otherwise, the 253A exciter probably is
NOT very useful to you except maybe for the
classic blue Spectra-Physics case. :)
HENEPS-S3A-2 Spectra-Physics model 253A/124 exciter. Similar 1 Make
to above but for some versions of the SP-124 offer
laser head.
HENEPS-S200 Spectra-Physics model 200 RF exciter. 15 to 25 1 Make

HENEMIRK1 HeNe Laser Mirror Kit 1. This is a set of - $ 35.00
at least 5 *unmounted* dielectric mirrors of
various radii of curvatures, both OCs and HRs.
These are especially good for experiments
on resonator stability and mode structure
with the one-Brewster lasers listed above.
HENEMIRK2 HeNe Laser Mirror Kit 2. This is a set of - $ 85.00
at least 8 *unmounted* mirrors including all

99%@633nm. Side 2: 63 mm, AR@633nm.
Diameter: 7.75 mm. New. These mirrors could
also be useful for a scanning Fabry-Perot
interferometers (SFPI). A confocal SFPI
would have an FSR of about 375 MHz
and resolution possibly better than 5 MHz.

high resolution confocal SFPI with FSR
of 75 MHz and finesse of at least 300
at 633 mm or 750 at 594 nm. This
results in a resolvance of 250 kHz and
100 kHz! Wavelengths between these will
have intermediate performance and it
decent performance well beyond 633 nm
on the long side and 594 nm on the short
side. 2 for $40. (This is the same
mirror as HENEMIRY-1m, below.)
HENEOCM1-P Planar 98.8%@633nm OC mirror. Side 2: - $ 10.00
Planar, AR-coated, 7-8 mm. New. These
will work with the 1-B laser tubes at any
distance up to about 60 cm from the 1-B's
internal HR. They can also be used to
build scanning Fabry-Perot interferometers
which can be used at any FSR, though
finesse is lower than with the confocal

With original foam-lined wood case.
Specifications: 09-LSF-001 Datasheet.
HENE-FSM1 Armored 15 foot single mode fiber with fiber 1 TBD
coupler on one end with male C-mount threads.
An adapter (sold separately) will permit it to
mount on standard 4 screw MG or JDSU bezel
(though it IS heavy). There is a marking at
the input end for polarization and a polarizer
at the output end. But I don't know if it is
really PM or simply SM fiber. From stabilized
HeNe laser interferometer.
HENE-FC1 Fiber coupler for 1-1/4" diameter cylindrical 1 $ 100.00
HeNe laser heads. SMA connector for single
or multimode fiber (not included). Precision
screw angle adjustments.
HENEMGFC1 Melles Griot fiber coupler. This can either 1 $ 200.00
be mounted directly on the end of a ~1-3/4" Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
cylindrical laser head or on an optical
table post. Precision adjustments for
XYZ, FC connector. Very nice unit.
BEAMEXP2 Beam expander on base. Estimate between 1.5 1 $ 25.00
and 2 expansion. Base allows for pand/tilt Pic Pic
adjustment with optical center approximately
1-1/4" above mounting surface. AR coating
should be good for VIS lasers.
FILTER1 Filter for red HeNe lasers that passes better - $ 15.00
than 95 percent of the beam at 633 nm but
blocks blue, green, and much of the other
bore light. Great for short path length
experiments that can't tolerate unwanted
wavelength borelight photons. Standard
4-hole mount for JDSU HeNe lasers. Can
be made to fit Melles Griot/Hughes and
others.
FILTWHL1 Filter wheel with 6 apertures on stepper motor 4 $ 15.00
with index sensor. Some of these have 2 or 3 Pic 1 Pic 2
neutral density filters while others have 1
or 2 specific wavelength filters. Filters
and placeholder disks should be removable.

NPBSC-12 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) non-polarizing beam splitter 1 $ 40.00
cube. Broadband, approximately 50:50.
Polished and AR-coated on all 4 sides. Very
slight blemish at bottom, doesn't hurt
anything.
PBSC-RED-1 4 mm polarizing beam splitter cube for 5 $ 20.00
HeNe lasers and other red lasers.
Design wavelength of 650 nm but works
works well at 633 nm. In fact, between
633 nm and 780 nm, the extinction ratio
is greater than 1,000 for both T and R.
As a polarizer (transmission only),
it's >1,000:1 from beyond 780 nm down to
at least 532 nm. Polished and AR-coated
on all 4 sides. Cost new of BSC with
similar performance is over $200!
PBSC-RED-3 1 inch square by 1.25 inch high PBS optic, 1 $ 100.00
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED - chipped - on 1 face. Of
no consequence (aside from ugliness) if
used as beam splitter. But reduces
clear aperture to approximately 5/8"
if that side must pass a beam.
DW5300-1 David White 5300 non-polarizing beam splitter 1 $ 100.00
in mount. For surveying equipment but works
well for other red lasers. New or like new.
Note that this uses a penta-prism so the right
angle of the reflected beam is insensitive to
slight movement and it maintains correct image
sense left-right (not mirrored as with normal
plate or cube beam splitters).
HENECRX1 Dual line (cross) generator for 7 inch (1-2 mW) 1 $ 6.00
HeNe laser tube and adjustable optics in
ugly, but solid, metal box. NO laser tube
or power supply, though several of those

includes a voltage doubler/filter capacitor
bank accepting 600-800 VRMS and producing
approximately 1,800-2,400 DC, a linear
regulator transistor, flyback transformer
boost/starter, and miscellaneous other

TRN725-1 AC line transformer for mystery HV PCB, above. 3 $ 8.00
725 VRMS at around 15-20 mA. Also has a
~33 VRMS centertapped low voltage winding,
probably 1 or 2 A. About 2-1/2" x 3" x 3-1/2".
Also would be good for an SSY1 or M60 ruby

might result in another mW or so but probably
not something dramatic. Some samples also
tend to be hard to start. No guarantees on
anything other than that these heads do
lase and produce a nice TEM00 polarized
beam. Or consider it the perfect home for
your homeless 5-10 mW HeNe laser tube with

provide X-Y adjustment at each end.
HENEMIR45-1 Right angle mirror attachment for Melles Griot 4 $ 15.00
and other laser heads with the standard hole Pic
pattern of 4 4-40 screws. Include cover.
HENESHUT1 Solenoid operated beam shutter that will 1 $ 10.00
screw directly to the end-cap of a Melles
Griot or similar laser. 24 VDC coil,
continuous duty.
HENELPS1-X HeNe low power homeless tube special 1. 5 $ 7.00
Weak Uniphase 098 or Spectra-Physics 088
0.3 to 0.7 mW. Includes shipping. Or,
just $3.00 with any other order over $25.
At the very least you get $10 worth of
good mirrors. I don't know what chants are
required to pacify the gods of dead lasers
if I salvaged the mirrors from these since
the output power is so low. :) They have
good discharge color but mirror alignment won't
help. So if you want a laser tube that looks
and acts like a laser tube but is just tired
from long hours of lasing and guaranteed to
be Class 2 and eye safe for demos, these are
for you! Two for $10.
HENELPS2-X HeNe low power homeless tube special 2. 3 $ 25.00
Tube similar to Melles Griot 05-LHR-150
or 05-LHP-150 (your choice subject to
availability) doing 4 to 5 mW after
warmup. Could be 05-LHR-140 or
05-LHP-140 in which case they even meet
spec. Includes shipping in the USA.
HENELPS3-X HeNe hard start and/or hard run 05-LHR-640 - $ 2.50
very cute 0.5 mW HeNe lsaer tube. These
produce at least 0.5 mW (most do somewhat
more) but due to long hours slaving away
in some sort of measurement instrument, have
a higher than normal operating voltage,
some may also be slightly hard to start and,
there is likely to be significant brown
crud in the bore. But they will work on a
05-LPM-379 or similar power supply with
a 75K ballast resistor close to the tube.
One free tube upon request with any other
order over $25.
HENENWS1-X NON-WORKING (up to air) Siemens LGK-7641, - $ 1.00
Spectra-Physics 088, or Uniphase 098, 10 inch
HeNe laser tubes. Good mirrors, but at this
price, you'll have to provide your own chants
to the gods of dead lasers if you want to
remove them. :). Note: RoC of OC mirror is
probably 30 cm or less, not very good for use
with 1-B HeNe laser tubes except very close
to the B-window, but might be suitable
for a Scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer.
HENEMGH1-X Melles Griot 05-LHR-911 laser head. Includes 3 $ 10.00
front end-cap with shutter and short cable
but no Alden connector. Low or no output
but I will guarantee that mirror alignment
will get you at least 1 mW, possibly as much
2 mW. Requires drilling 3 holes in cylinder
opposite front mirror adjusting screws.
I'm just too lazy to bother but it really is
just a 10 minute job with a drill press and
hex wrench. And since it's the cathode-end
mirror that needs to be adjusted, no shocking
experiences (usually). :) Or, at this price,
just salvage the mirrors for your 1-B laser
tube (but I don't want to know).
HENENLX1 Weird beam 1 mW HeNe laser tube. The beam is 2 $ 3.00
weird because the outer surface of the OC
mirror is broken. The tube lases just fine
with rated power, the beam is just strange.
You could sand it down and have an even more
strange constellation of dots generator.
Or, consider it an eye-safe HeNe laser! :)
HENESP132-X1 Spectra-Physics 132 laser complete but 1 $ 15.00
not functional due to bad tube.
HENESP132-X2 Spectra-Physics 132 laser complete but 1 $ 25.00
tube only starts when finger is applied
And goes out after warmup due to high
dropout current (or something). Decent
power when it runs.
HENESP155-P1 New (NOS) power supply board for SP-155 1 $ 10.00
laser (only the assembled PCB, not the
transformer).
HENESP155-P2 Same as above but used, tested. 1 $ 7.50
NEHESP155-NT Good SP-155 case with all parts but tube. 1 $ 15.00
HENESP155-C Slightly bedraggled SP-155 case, no tube, 1 $ 6.00
transformer, or power supply board. Good
for installing your own laser project.
HENESP907-X1 Spectra-Physics model 907 HeNe laser tube 1 $ 175.00
assembly (same as used in SP-127 laser.) It
is doing about 20 mW after warmup. Rated at
25-35 mW. Proper cleaning of Brewster windows
and mirrors should help some. Rewired with
standard Alden connector. Will run on
modified SP-255 exciter.
HENES7676-X1 Siemens LGK-7676 HeNe laser tube assembly 1 $ 175.00
(similar to SP-907). It is doing about 16-18
mW after warmup. Rated at 25-35 mW. Proper
cleaning of Brewster windows and mirrors
should help some. Rewired with standard Alden
connector. Will run on modified SP-255
exciter.
HENE-CYL1 Aluminum cylinders (no end-caps) from various - $ 1.00
HeNe lasers from 7 to 12 inches in length,
1.75 inches in diameter. Most are in excellent
condition. Ask.
HENE-CYL2 Same as above but 13 to 25 inches in length. - $ 2.00
HENE-HEAD1 Complete laser head minus the tube. This is a 1 $ 7.50
rather unusual size - for mounting a 1" or less
diameter up to 8-1/4" long tube, cathode-end
output. 1" outside diameter. With front
end-cap (no shutter), rear end-cap with 2 foot
Alden cable and internal ballast resistor.
The following, shall we say, may have some problems. OK, they have more
problems than some of the others. :) These are various HeNe laser
tubes/heads that don't work properly for one reason or another but
may be of use for organ donations or recycling into your home-built laser
or high-tech wall hanging. In some case, they may be repairable.
SP-120-X SP-120 laser heads. Good resonator with 633 nm 2 $ 15.00
mirrors, NO tube or broken tube, NO or cut
cable, fair-good overall condition.
SP-120-Z SP-120 laser heads. Good resonator with 633 nm 1 $ 25.00
mirrors, Starts but does not lase due to gas
contamination. Extended running might help but
not that likely.
HENEDT3-1 Melles Griot 05-LGR-024 green HeNe laser tube. 1 $ 20.00
Up to air (won't start). For mirrors only.
HENEGRN-X1 12-17 inch green HeNe laser tubes non-lasing. 2 $ 25.00
These light up normally but no green photons
come out the front. I've tried alignment but
though unlikely, can't rule out the possibility
that I didn't try hard enough.
HENEGRN-X2 12-17 inch green HeNe laser tubes up to air. 2 $ 20.00
Good mirrors or add your own gas. :)
HENE1BDT1 Non-working Melles Griot 05-LHB-570 one-Brewster 2 $ 10.00
laser tube. Ionizes but sputter overcoat on
Brewster window due to loose cathode or
reverse polarity. Good HR. Brewster window
may be salvageable but will require removal
of sputtered aluminum coating from the *inside*.
HENEDT4-0 Melles Griot 05-LHR-926 or similar extremely 1 $ 35.00
long (~1m) HeNe laser tube with hairline crack
in cathode-end frit seal. Perfect cosmetic
condition otherwise. Glob on some Torr-seal
and fill with gas but may need alignment. :)
HENEDT4-1 Extremely long (over 1 meter) HeNe laser tube 1 $ 35.00
of conventional design, hard-seal, gas intact
and starts and runs with perfect discharge
color but output is less than 1 mW and
and fluctuates, and mirror alignment is VERY
critical. With the addition of a series of
Zeeman suppression magnets, I would imagine
that you could get a few mW but almost
certainly nowhere near the 35 mW rating.
This is NOT a mirror alignment problem
but either a gas-fill, incorrect mirror
formula, or bad resonator design. Perfect
physical conition.
HENEDT4-2 Very long (about 0.8 meter) HeNe laser tube 1 $ 25.00
of segmented design, hard-seal but up to
air. With a segemented tube, the
bore is split into sections - this may
improve the distribution of the gas or
something and in any case looks cool. Tube
would be rated 15 to 25 mW if operational.
HENEDT4-3 Medium (about 0.6 meter) HeNe laser tube of 1 $ 15.00
conventional design, hard-seal but up to air
as above. Tube would be rated 12 to 15 mW
if operational. This tube was removed from an
Aerotech HENEATH1-12 head (see above).
HENEDT5-1 Very long (about 0.8 meter) HeNe laser tube 1 Make
of segmented design with cathode in side-arm. offer
Soft-seal has leaked over time. Ionizes but
does not lase. OC mirror has screws for
alignment. Brewster window seal between
interior and outer chambers. Interesting
display piece. The model is probably LS16P.
HENESP124-X NON-WORKING Spectra-Physics model 124 laser 1 $ 75.00
head, needs new tube or refill. Good optics.
Older blue case, very good condition overall.
No cable.
HENESP127-B Bore ONLY from SP-127 tube. No electrodes 1 $ 25.00
(hole where anode pin should be), Brewster
window still present at that end. Fairly
clean (almost no brown crud). Use for PMG
laser experiments or a cattle prod. :)
The following are only good for boat anchors or architectural use unless you
have a way of removing hard potting material without damaging components
underneath, and then repairing whatever is wrong. I have no idea why I'm
even saving them. Maybe as ballast to get traction in snow. :)
HENEPS-ADE Dead AC input HeNe laser power supply bricks, - $ 0.00
various models. All wires are cut so there is
really nothing salvageable on the outside
except maybe some labels. I can't imagine
why anyone would want these but people do
buy used dirt on eBay so I guess almost
anything's possible. :) Perfect for testing
your magic Epoxy dissolvo formula! Just
pay for shipping - 10 or 15 should fit in
a USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail box. Act
now, these are going fast! ;-)
HENEPS-DDE Same as above but DC input. - $ 0.00
And some more useless stuff:
HENECYL-X Pieces of standard size HeNe aluminum cylinders, - $ 0.00
typically 3-6 inches but some longer and shorter.
Pay shipping, but aluminum recycling won't even
make up for that.

an internal mirror tube WOW display.)
Includes outer cylinder with a pair of
3-screw adjustable rings, end-plates, and
tapped 1/4-20 holes in bottom to attach
to Newport posts. Provides protection
for fragile humans from the high voltage
and protection for the fragile tube
from humans. :)
HENEENCL-2 Similar to above but for LHB-568, LHB-370, - $ 335.00
and similar 1 and 2 window 9-11" tubes. Short Enclosure
HENEENCL-3 Similar to above but for LHB-564 and - $ 325.00

SMFC-1 Single mode fiber coupler with ~18 inch SM 2 $ 100.00
cable to FC/APC connector. The actual
coupler is glued into a larger assembly
shutter (!!) but may be removable.
CLPOU-1 Liquid flow assembly from CLPOU particle 1 $ 10.00
counter. Plumbing and optics, no sensors. Parts
GALVO-1 Medium speed X-Y voice coil galvo from 1 $ 75.00
LaserDisc player. Connect to PC sound Pic
card or audio amp for lots of interesting
effects. The dielectric mirrors will work
with any red laser. There is plenty of free
lissajous figure and spirograph software
on the Internet. But simply displaying
the left and right channels of stereo music
is very entertaining.
EOMOD1 Electro-optic modulator thing. This is a 1 $ 100.00
about 10 inches long and 3 inches in diameter Pic
with a couple mm hole in the middle at each
end. Applying several hundred volts via a BNC
connector varies the transmitted light
intensity. At DC, a full 180 degree phase
shift - intensity from min to min or max to
max - requires about 500 V. The response is
flat to a few hundred kHz, and usable to a
few MHz. Optics need cleaning and this may
be filled with nasty liquid - there is a
fill port. I did not explore further.
And it comes in a very nice hand-rubbed
wooden box. :)
Alden-M1 Male Alden connector (laser head type), short 6 $ 6.50
(~1 foot) cable and Uniphase end-cap with NO
ballast resistor.
Alden-F1 Femaile Alden connector (power supply type), 3 $ 6.50

cadmium (HeCd) laser tube complete with Pics 1 2 3 4
mirrors, (442 nm) cathode/filaments (2), He
reservoir preloaded with ultra pure He,
pressure sensors (2), just add He and Cd. :)
This appears to be Melles Griot surplus when
they discontinued their HeCd product line.
Absolutely beautiful glasswork with none
of that ugly condensed Cd or prickly
insulation present on completed used lasers.
AND no hazmat issues. Almost 2 feet long,
mount on/in nice polished hardwood frame! :-)
Or, complete for a working HeCd or perhaps
an HeSe or other similar home-built laser.

useful salvabeable parts!). Remove tube for
very nice conversation piece. :)
OMNI-3039-1 Omni 39-series 325 nm rectangular laser head. 1 $ 100.00
This probably has high helium pressure. It
used to lase when the tube voltage set-point
was set to one end but now it won't even do
require a few months of running to restore
full power if that's even possible. Nice
display piece if nothing lese, not huge like
the 56 or 74 series HeCds. :) Rated 5 mW.
OMNI-439-1 Cylindrical 39 series 442 nm laser head. Lights 1 $ 75.00
but no output. Probably high He pressure like
the one above. Rated 5 mW.

Omni 171B power supply and remote box.
up to ~320 mW total on 6 lines in current
mode at around ~9 A. Has likely been
unused since 2008 so might take a couple
minutes to start cold but runs fine.
All serious offers considered. Requires
230 VAC, 11 A. The installed mirrors
probably limits the number of lines but
cleaning may result in more power.
This was apparently refurbished in
2008 and only has ~235 hours on the clock.
SP163-1 Spectra-Physics 163C argon ion laser head. 1 $ 50.00
~18 mW max single line 488 nm. Slow
start and probably end-of-life. Use
case to install your good tube. Mint

HGMMIR1 Coherent/HGM OC mirror. 2 meter RoC, - $ 7.50
97-98%R, tested at 488 nm and 532 nm,
should be similar in between. 7-8 mm
diameter. New. For a large frame
argon ion laser but also good for
argon ion or DPSS beam sampler and
other uses.
U211X-FC Fiber coupler for Uniphase laser heads. 1 $ 100.00
This mounts on the end of 211X (and
probably other) Cyonics/Uniphase ion laser
heads to couple the beam into an optical
fiber. Output has SMA connector.

100 um stripe. Threshold: 320 to 360 mA,
slope efficiency: 0.9 to 1.1, power out at

Uniphase uGreen lasers. A similar diode
was installed as a replacement in a uGreen
4301 laser and worked well. Beam shoots
away from mounting surface. C-mount is
positive. I believe these to be the same
as the SDL-2360-Cs but they have no model

JDSU-NP6 JDS Uniphase Nanolaser model NP-1030-100. 1 $ 3,000.00
Passive Q-switched 1,064 nm. Output of System Head
18-21 mW average, pulse repetition rate
3.5-4.2 kHz, duration less than 1 ns,
very stable.
LASOS-50-1 LasNova50 532 nm (green) laser head with 3 $ 1,000,00
CKL2400 controller outputting a solid
50 mW (light regulated). Pure SLM.
Requires 24 VDC at 2 A max and heatsink
(not included).
BWTEK-1 BWTek BWTF-50CRI 50 mW green DPSS laser. 5 $ 500.00
Stability is about 1% over several minutes System
and 3% over an hour. They run cool so no
heat sink is needed. Includes laser head,
controller, DC power supply.
BWTEK-2A BWTek green DPSS laser head with controller. 1 $ 150.00
Output is 25 mW and stable in tight beam, but Pic
not SLM. It is capable of about 40 mW via a
pot setting in the controoler. The compact
laser head should probably be bolted to a
heatsink but runs cool without. Requires
5 VDC at 3 A max. The controller can easily
be adapted to drive other low power DPSS
lasers having a pump diode and single TEC
and optional photodiode for optical feedback.
Info on pinouts and adjustments will be
provided.
BWTEK-2B Similar to above but set to 20 mW, capable of 2 $ 125.00
around 30 mW.
LQ-GEM532-1 Laser Quantum GEM 532 500 mW (rated) green 1 $ 4500.00
DPSS laser system consisting of laser head, Pic 1 Pic 2
controller, and DC power supply. RS232 is
required to turn the laser on and to set
output power. This laser will do up to about
1.2 WATTs. FC fiber output but may be used
free-space with the addition of a short focal
length positive lens to collimate the beam.
While large heatsinks are not required for
continuous operation, both the controller
and laser head should be mounted on a
surface like an optical table to dissipate
waste heat (not included). Near zero
hours with like new functional
and absolute mint cosmetic condition. An
operation manual will be included. Note
that this is a photon cannon, NOT an SLM
laser. The beam is TEM00 but NOT single
frequency with a coherence length of about
1 cm. CAUTION: Class IV laser.
For optimal stability into the fiber, the
polarization is scrambled internally. If
your application requires a linearly
polarized beam, the laser can be modified
at modest cost.
LQGEM532-3 Similar to above but ~12K hours and 650 mW 1 $ 1,250.00
maximum, usable at 500 mW (spec power).
LQGEM532-4X Similar to above but is under spec power with 1 $ 500.00
sloppy free-space beam but fine from fiber.
Approximately 200 mW max continuous, 150 mW
recommended. Cavity alignment may result in
spec power but it would not be fun. This is
an inexpensive way to get set up with one of
these lasers and upgrade later. Will credit
purchase price if used as trade within 3
months.
LQGEM532-5 Laser Quantum GEM DPSS 532 nm (green) laser, 1 $ 5,500.00
free space version NEW/NOS. Had 0.0 hours
on the laser head and 0.1 hours on the
controller prior to testing. Capable of
over 1 WATT in a tight beam at only 80
percent of the diode current limit. (The
power is limited by firmware, could
probably do over 1.5 W at 100% otherwise.)
LQIGN660-1 Laser Quantum IGNIS DPSS 660 nm (red) laser, 1 $ 2,000,00
free space version. This is similar to the
GEM, above but red instead of green. Close
to spec power and stable. Clean beam, 300 mW
continuous, 250 mW max recommended. Cavity
alignment may result in over spec power but
it would not be fun.
LQIGN660-2 Laser Quantum IGNIS DPSS 660 nm (red) laser, 1 $ 1,000,00
200 mW max, 150 mW recommended. A bit under
spec power but stable.
LQAS-1 Autostart adapter for GEM, IGNIS, and other - $ 150.00
Laser Quantum lasers using the smd6000 Pic
controller. Provides automatic startup without
requiring RS232 at a fixed power (default 500 mW
for the GEM and 300 mW for the IGNIS.) Includes
on/off/reset, a trimpot for analog power adjust,
external interlock (optional), modulation
input, and status LEDs. Plugs into Control and
RS232 connectors on controller. (Default power
may be changed by issuing a ACTP command via
RS232 to set the power calibration.)
SPEXCEL-100 Spectra-Physics Excelsior 532 nm (green) laser 1 $ 2000.00
system including laser head, heatsink, umbilical,
controller, and Autostart. Will run on
either 24 VDC with DC-DC converter (included)
or 5 VDC. Guaranteed pure SLM, 100+ mW.
Mint condition.

CL-25-1 Crystalaser laser head and OEM controller. 1 $ 250.00
Up to ~25 mW in nice 532 nm (green) TEM00 Pic
beam. NOT SLM. Runs on 12 VDC. Trimpot
to adjust output power. Mint condition.
CL-GCL-200S Crystalaser GCL200S 532 nm (green) system. 1 $ 1000.00
Compact laserhead and lab-style controller Pic
with miniature L-fold cavity. Capable of
around 190 mW but the output is spiking
at most higher settings. Set to ~125 mW,
with pure SLM. It may be possible to
adjust for higher power output that is pure
or nearly pure SLM, an exercise for the
owner. :) Mint cosmetic condition. Note
that even when spiking, this will probably
make very good holograms as the main mode
position is stable and the power in the
spikes is small.
CL-GCL-100S Crystalaser CGL100S 532 nm system. This 1 $ 350.00
laser is adjusted for ~75 mW with 80-90 Pic
percent or better SLM mode purity, which
should be adequate for all but the most
picky holography types. It may be set
for more than 110 mW multi-longitudinal
mode (MLM) upon request. This is not a
user adjustment. Mint cosmetic
condition. In original box with manual.
CL-GCL-150S Crystalaser GCL150S 532 nm (green) laser 1 $ 300.00
for parts or repair. Compact laser head Pic
and lab-style controller. But the
optically contacted lasing composite
crystal assembly may be damaged as it
won't maintain output power or TEM00 mode.
The controller works perfectly and should
be capable of driving a 1-2 W laser diode
and 2 TECs or other Crystalaser heads.
Mint cosmetic condition except no output
IR-blocking filter. This would be
an ideal platform to install your
own CASIX optically bonded crystal.
All reasonable offers considered.
C1064-80-SF Coherent IR (1,064 nm) DPSS laser. Output 1 $3,000.00
almost 100 mW and very stable. This is the
non-doubled version of the C532. Single

Excellent condition includes C315M-150 laser
head on heatsink, Coherent Analog Controller,
Coherent umbilical cable, Coherent
Autostart adapter, and DC power supply.
Guaranteed to be SLM. The maximum output
power is set between 160 and 180 mW.
C315M-100-1 Similar to above but C315M-100 outputting 3 $ 2,500.00
over 100 mW.
C315M-15-1 Similar to above but 15 mW. This system has 1 $ 750.00
a healthy lower power head. Everything else
is the same. Get set up, upgrade later! :)
Guaranteed SLM.
C315M-20-1 Similar to above but 20 mW. Mint condition 1 $ 850.00
Guaranteed SLM.
C315M-50H-1 C315M-50 532 nm (green) laser head, slightly 1 $ 500.00
weak but stable SLM when locked. Will lock
at 50 mW, barely. Good and solid at 40 mW.
C313M-80 Coherent Compass 313M. (Not a typo!). This is 1 $ 1,750,00
a 1,313 nm laser that resembles a C315M and
uses the same controller (though the one that
comes with this system is labeled C313M).
It originally was fiber-coupled but the fiber
has been removed because it was broken,
so it's become a free-space laser.
Includes C313M laser head, controller
umbilical, and Autostart, on large heatsink.
The maximum output power is between 80 and
90 mW. This is probably NOT SLM but is
quite stable.
CPSM-BEME-1 Beam expander/mount/enclosure for C215M or 2 $ 250.00
C315M laser head. Fully adjustable beam
expander on KineFlex precision mount,
pegged surface for laser head, and classy
cover.
CPSM-SMFC-1 KineFlex fiber coupler with armored 1 $ 750.00
angle-coupled SM fiber and flexure
pan-tilt output mount which may be
attached to an optical table or
post. Output is TEM00 with a ~2 mR
divergence. Note: Requires mounting
block or equivalent at laser end.
Inquire for options. Although design
wavelength is 488 nm, this should be
fine for 532 nm.
C315M-CTRL-1 C315M Coherent Analog Controller, like new. 2 $ 600.00
C315M-CAS-1 Genuine Coherent C215M/C315M/C415M Autostart, 2 $ 100.00

DPY315II-5 Adlas DPY-315-II green DPSS laser system. 1 $ 3500.00
Mint condition. This laser is like new Head Ctrl SLM
and is happy at 155+ mW. It held lock
for an hour at 200 mW and 233 mW has been
seen when scanning. It will be set at a
little over 150 mW and it is ready for
holograms. This is the best Adlas I have
seen with only 1427 hours on the clock,
which is nothing for these lasers. Pure
SLM.
DPY315II-2 Adlas DPY-315-II green DPSS laser system. 1 $ 2,500.00
110 mW, almost pure SLM (Single Longitudinal Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
Mode). Turn key complete. Power may be set
from 35 to 110+ mW via RS232 control. This is
the predecessor to the C315M. It has been
stored in a stasis field so while the
maximum power is a bit below what it was
when new, it is in otherwise like-new
condition. Includes power unit, controller,
and laserhead with fan-cooled heat-sink.
A terminal emulator may be used to control it.
DPY315II-3 Adlas DPY-315-II green DPSS laser system. 1 $ 2,000
75-90 mW, NOT SLM but a stable source of Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
532 nm photons. Turn key complete.
DPY425II-2 Adlas DPY-425II green DPSS laser system. 1 $ 6000.00
400+ mW, about 90 percent pure SLM Head Controller
(Single Longitudinal Mode). Turn-key
complete. The power may be set via its
RS232 port from about 100 to over 400 mW.
Consists of controller, and laser head
on large fan-cooled heatsink. (The
fan may be unplugged to reduce vibrations.)
Mint physical condition stored in the same
stasis field as DPY-315II, above. :)
650 hours on the clock. Includes fiber
coupler and electromechanical shutter
activated by front panel switch.
UGREEN-1 NOS uGreen 10 mW system complete with 4611 1 $ 1250.00
laser head on heatsink, digital (mid-size) System Head Controller
controller on heatsink, DC power supply,
Autostart, all cables, original paperwork,
removed from sealed packaging for test only.
Set to 15 mW, guaranteed SLM, rock stable.
Just plug it in and go. :)
UGREEN-2 NOS uGreen 10 mW system complete with 1 $ 1250.00
4301 laser head on heatsink, HyB B
controller, DC power supply, all cables.
Output set at 25 mW, but may be reduced
with simple widget connected to DB15
connector (not included).
UGREEN-3 NOS uGreen 10 mW system complete 4602 1 $ 550.00
laser head, 4802 controller and
dongle, and DC power pack. The
only issue is that the two ghost
spots (present in all these lasers)
are rather bright in this head
but this does not affect the main
beam. Pure SLM.
UGREEN-MNT1 Precision kinematic mount for uGreen two 1 $ 100.00
TEC laser heads like the 4601 and 4711, Deluxe Mount
as well as other small DPSS laser heads.
Includes heatsink.
LWE120-02A Lightwave model 120-02A 1319 nm NPRO ultra-low 2 $ 3500.00
noise SLM ring laser system. Rated power of System
2.5 mW, doing 4 mW stable. Adjustable power
from 0 to 4 mW and adjustable frequency over
15 GHz. <5 kHz linewidth. Excellent
functional condition and very good cosmetic
condition. See: LWE-120 Specifcations.
LWE126-1 Lightwave Electronics Model 126-1319-10-40 1 $ 5,500.00
1,319 nm single frequency DPSS laser with System Head Label
laboratory controller. This is an NPRO-
based laser with a power output that may
be adjusted between under 5 mW to about
55 mW. (Thus I assume the "10-40" in
the model number.) Includes laser head
(which should be mounted on modest
heatsink, not included), controller, and
cables. Excellent condition. A user
manual will be provided.
LWE125-1 Lightwave Electronics M125-1313-030 fiber- 1 $ 250.00
coupled 1313 nm multimode laser. This was Pic 1 2 3 4
some sort of special order from LWE. Even
though it has the M125 model number and is
in a mint condition M125 case, it is
NOT an NPRO but a monolithic YLF FP cavity
pumped by a C-mount laser diode. It is
therefore multi-longitudinal mode. The
output is over 10 mW (30 mW when new).
More may be possible by turning up the
pump diode current via the internal pot.
The output is via a permanently attached
single mode fiber feeding a collimator
producing a very nice ~2 mm TEM00 beam.
The price is negotiable. Interesting
experimenters' item, or if you need
1313 nm. Mint physical condition.
AL-1320-1 Amoco 1320 nm DPSS laser, 60+ mW TEM00 beam. 1 $ 1500.00
Includes laser head, umbilical, and power unit. Pic
The laser head is fan-cooled with TEC
for temperature control. Stable within a few
seconds of power-on. I believe this is capable
of much higher power since there is a fan
attached to the laser head (powered separately,
DC wall adapter not included) but it is not
needed at the power level at which the laser
is set.
DPSS Laser Parts and Accessories
Here are some Compass-M (Coherent C215M, C315M, and C415M) accessories.
For the blank printed circuit
boards (PCBs), Jameco has all of the additional parts, which should be
under $5 for any of them, much less if you have a moderately well stocked
junk drawer. However, for Autostart Adapter 2, a complete kit is available.
IMPORTANT: We will not be liable if your laser is damaged due to poor
soldering skills or incorrect assembly!

except for two very minor edge chips.
ALMIRFL2X Aluminized front surface mirror, 2 inch, 1 $ 5.00

MMNT1-1 1/2" x 1/2" high quality front surface mirror 10 $ 15.00
on somewhat kinematic adjustable mount. This Front Rear
is NOT like a Newport MM05 so probably NOT
recommended for use inside a laser cavity but
would be very suitable for beam steering in
a laser projector, interferometer, or
holography setup. The coating is protected
aluminum with better than 95% broad-band
reflectance. The mirror is glued in place
and can probably be removed to mount another
optic but the back of the mount would have
to be drilled if it were necessary to pass
the beam through it.
MMNT2-1 3/4" x 3/4" high quality front surface mirror 10 $ 15.00
on slightly larger adjustable mount. These Pic 1 - Front/Bottom
are actually reasonably precise, if cheaply Pic 2 - Rear>
made, spherical mounts. Spherical means that
the center of the mirror surface maintains a
nearly constant position along the optic
axis when the mirror is adjusted. The only
problem is that the base is tilted at about
a 5 degree angle so to get the full range,
a piece of scrap metal has to be wedged under
one side. Center of mirror is ~3/4" from
mounting surface.
MMNT3-1 1-1/2" x 1-7/16" high quality front surface 2 $ 35.00
on kinematic mount. Hex screw adjustments Pic
from rear. May be attached to Newport post

dielectric mirror, HR@633nm@45degrees. Pic
(Close to HR at normal incidence.) Mount
is 1"x1.5". Includes bracket for attaching
at 45 degrees. (There are actually 3 screws
so a small amount of Z adjustment is also
possible.)

15 feet. The square box has several feet of
unarmored cable coiled up inside, purpose
unknown.
SP3.16M-1 Spectra-Physics Fiber Optic Coupler Model 1 $ 100.00
3.16M. The control box works but the Coupler Box: Front Back
shutter inside the coupler itself is
missing parts. So figure this to be
an SMA fiber coupler and cute but not
terribly useful control box. :) The
toggle switch along with the foot switch
(sold separate) or external interlock
turns ~15 VDC on and off while the knob
adjusts the voltage on the rear BNC.
Perhaps the box would be more useful to
install a nice HeNe laser power supply
brick. ;-)
OPINTRP1 Optical interrupter. 3/8" width x 3/8" 4 $ 2.50
depth with cable. This is an IR LED/
photodiode pair, no active circuitry.
FRIGIT-IO Frigitronics indirect ophthalmoscope made by 1 Make
Cooper Surgical. Very good condition except offer
for top adjustment on headband which still
works but the plastic is cracked. Includes
head unit, extension cable with switch, and
variable intensity power supply for light.
The power supply might be useful for something
but other than that, if you don't know what
this is, I guarantee you won't want it unless
you'd like to give a nice Christmas present
to your eye doctor! And he/she may not want
it. :)
Barcode Scanners and Parts
Lasers and power supplies from barcode scanners (including the complete

items listed below are more barcode scanner related.
Sam Part # Description Qty.Avl. Price/ea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM4687 IBM 4687 barcode checkout scanner with 1 $ 100.00
Spectra-Physics electronic scale (30 pound max
in 0.01 pound resolution). This is a full size
heavy undercounter unit. Includes 1 mW HeNe
laser tube (Siemens 7641S or Uniphase 098-1,
see the info and photos for these tubes, above),
with PSU on mainboard, polygon scanner, many
mirrors, lenses, and other optics, etc.
Well worn but believed fully functional
(It bleeps appropriately and the scale reads
reasonably accurately.) You may have to
scrape off some congealed chicken juice
though. :) Pickup in Philadelphia area only.
IBM4687-MB Mainboard from IBM4687. I have been scavanging 1 $ 15.00
parts from the HeNe laser power supply so the
main things left are the power transformer and
low voltage power supply and barcode scanner
control and readback electronics. :)
IBM4781 Hand-held barcode scanner, LED type. Red 1 $ 10.00
filter is missing from front. For parts
or experimentation. IBM part #96X4781.
Hand unit only. Untested.
BCSSCAN1 Scanner mirror assembly from Orion barcode - $ 20.00
scanner. Includes motor, control PCB, and Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
6 mirror scanner (6 line raster scan - NOT
like a laser printer scanner!). Easy to
Power. See Specs and Wiring Info.
Although designed for 24 VDC to the motor,
they will run happily using only 12 VDC for
both the logic and motor. An external pot
can be added to extend the speed range from
near 0 rpm to over 4,000 rpm. Detailed
instructions provided.
And as evident in in the final pic, the mirror Pic 4
assembly can be removed with some difficulty
and then the motor can be used for something
else. The individual mirrors can also be
carefully unglued after removing the plastic
plugs at the top.
Whimpier scanner motor assemblies are sold on
eBay for much more, intended for laser show
"liquid sky" effects.
BCSSCAN2 Scanner mirror assembly from IBM IBM 4687 - $ 15.00
barcode scanner. Includes motor, control PCB, Top Bottom
and 3 mirror scanner (3 line raster scan - NOT
like a laser printer scanner!). Easy to
power on 15 to 20 VDC. Speed can be varied
by controlling input voltage to one pin
but is not regulated like that of BCSSCAN1..
The type on the left is most likely what you
will receive since it's much more common
(nuts and bolts feet not included.)
NCR7870P Parts from NCR 7870 barcode scanner includes 1 $ 15.00
laser diode, driver, and collimator; 3 sided
scanner, motor, and driver; photodetector;
LD and main PCBs, etc. No mirrors (except
for scanner), chassis, or docs. Untested.
Laser Lab Starter Setup
This is a set of 9 like-new lasers covering most of the visible spectrum with
output powers of 20-50 mW. It consists of the following:
Scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometers/Laser Spectrum Analyzers
The Scanning Fabry-Perot Interferometer (SFPI, also known as a Laser
Spectrum Analyzer or LSA) is used to display the longitudinal mode
structure of various kinds of lasers. They may also be used as tunable
Fabry-Perot etalons.

BURSA-R1.7 Burleigh scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer 1 $ 1000.00
head with 633 nm mirrors, 1.7 GHz FSR (same
mirrors as in COMIR633-1, below.) Very good
condition. (An IR mirror set instead may be
available. Ask for details.)
BURTE-1IRPP Burleigh scanning fabry-perot interferometer 1 $ 1650.00
head/tunable etalon. PLANAR MIRRORS, around Head
1,5xx nm. FSR of around 15 GHz, requires 3-PZT
driver. Includes DA100 IR detector and preamp.
Does not include mount.
CO240-GR30 Coherent 240 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1500.00
interferometer head, green-red (550-650
nm) mirrors, 30 GHz FSR. Mint condition.
All serious offers considered.
CO240-1IR30 Coherent 240 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1500.00
interferometer head, near-IR (including
1,064 nm) mirrors, 30 GHz FSR. Mint
condition. All serious offers considered.
COMIR633-1 633 nm mirror set for Coherent and Tropel - $ 500.00
240 (and equivalent later model) SFPI
heads. These have an FSR of around
1.7 GHz. At 633 nm, I measured a finesse
>350 for a 6 mm beam and >600 for a
2 mm beam. Includes mirrors with
adapters, easily installed and adjusted
by end-user. Mirror sets for 633 nm are
no longer available from Coherent. The
1.7 GHz FSR is actually a bit better
for viewing red HeNe longitudinal modes
than the 1.5 GHz FSR of the mirrors that
were normally supplied with these
instruments. The mirrors are still
usable down to below 594 nm, and probably
above 650 nm.
CO240-R1.7 Coherent 240 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1350.00
interferometer head with 633 nm (red) mirrors,
1.7 GHz FSR (same mirrors as in COMIR633-1,
above. Very good condition.
CO240-BG1.5 Tropel (Coherent) model 240 scanning Fabry- 1 $ 1450.00
Perot interferometer head. 1.5 GHz FSR,
blue-green mirrors (450-550 nm), cleaned
and adjusted. The photodiode assembly
is not original but works fine.
CO216-1319 Coherent 216 high resolution mid-IR scanning 1 $ 2500.00
Fabry-Perot interferometer head. 300 MHz
FSR, finesse of more than 500 at 1,319 nm. NO
DETECTOR. Will include a cut open germanium
transistor upon request. This works fine,
really. :-) The mirror set will probably
be OK at other wavelengths within +/-50 nm
or more away from 1,319 nm, but possibly
with lower finesse. All serious offers
considered.
COSFPI-BS1 Beam sampler for Coherent/Tropel SFPIs (as well 1 $ 100.00
as any 1.75" diameter laser). Pellicle beam
splitter at 45 degrees on mount that slips
over front of SFPI so a portion of laser beam
is reflected into SFPI. Probably around 5
percent in reflected beam. Can also be
installed on the front of a 1.75" diameter
laser head to sample the beam that way instead.
SP470-BG2 Spectra-Physics 470 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1500.00
interferometer head, blue-green (450-550 nm)
mirrors, 2 GHz FSR. Very good condition.
SP470-GR8 Spectra-Physics 470 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1500.00
interferometer head, green-red (550-650 nm)
mirrors, 8 GHz FSR. Very good condition.
TO-SA-8-7.5 TecOptics SA-7.5 scanning Fabry-Perot 1 $ 1250.00
interferometer head, 7.5 GHz FSR, 850 to
920 nm mirror set. With photodetector and
cables. Head only, will fit standard
2 inch mount and can be driven with most
SFPI controllers. Mint condition. If you
use a Ti:Sapph laser, you need this. But
mirrors can be swapped for other wavelengths.

EP200mmd-1 Verity Monochromator-Detector, EP200. 1 $ 375.00
Wavelength range: 185-925 nm, 500 um
slits, model EP200Mmd. Simple mods
to the slits would permit sub-nm
resolution. The monochromator
works fine and the detector electronics
have been tested and are fully functional.
Wavelength calibration may need to be
tweaked but is presently better than
+/-0.5 nm at 633 nm. Full specifications
at Verity Monochromators. Note: The PMTs
may not be the original type so these
are not guaranteed to meet original
specifications and are thus NOT
recommended for replacement in a
critical application.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PE-5600-1 Perkin Elmer 5200 laser head with 5204 1 $ 375.00
power supply NON-WORKING. The head has a Pic
truly ancient hot filament two Brewster
tube in a James Bond-style enclosure.
The tube is almost up to air, sorry.
Likely late 1960s.
DLBL-1 Dynalaser BL-1 wimpy lsaer show projector 1 $ 100.00
for collectable value. Nicely made oak Pic 1 Pic 2
cabinet in very good condition. What's
inside is junk - part of a Metrologic
with broken tube (removed), tiny mirror
on voice coil, audio driver.
MLHECD-1 Metrologic Helium-Cadmium (HeCd) laser. 1 $ 500.00
NON-WORKING but believed to be complete Pic 1 Pic 2
and tube is intact, though leaky.
This is a very rare laser. Self-contained
but it is heavy - around 30 pounds.
SP119-1 Spectra-Physics 119 HeNe laser including 1 $ 500.00
SP-259 exciter with manual tuning plug-in
and SP-119 lsaer head (no beam expander).
Last I tried it the tube lit up and output
a whopping 12 µW, but no guarantees.
Consider it a display piece.
HENEORIEL-1 Oriel HeNe laser head with matching power 1 $ 300.00
supply, linearly polarized, 2+ mW! This Pic
one is from 1979 with a Hughes tube. The
power supply generates HF AC which is
then boosted and rectified in the head.
CDRH version with keylock and interlock
on power supply and shutter on head.
HENEORIEL-2 Similar to above but no keylock, interlock, 1 $ 300.00
or shutter. This one has a Hughes Pic
one-Brewster tube with external mirror
glued on the front. Probably early to
mid 70s. (Note that there is no point in
buying this to rip out the 1-B tube. I
don't know if the external mirror is
easily removed and we have other better
1-B tubes for sale.)
EDMUND-1 Edmund Scientific (Metrologic) HeNe laser 1 $ 500.00
with modern tube installed. Original tube Front Back
will be included for display purposes.
EDMUND-2 Edmund Scientific HeNe laser on short optical 1 $ 750.00
rail with mirror on adjustable mount. NON- Front Back Tube
WORKING. This has a one-Brewster laser tube
inside, very rare. Very good cosmetic
condition but the J-tube is up to air.
PULSARG-1 Pulsed argon ion laser, circa 1969 WORKING. 1 $ 2000.00
This is either a commercial prototype or Pic
home-built laser. More info at:
Vintage Pulsed Argon Ion Demonstration Laser.
Includes custom made clear Plexiglas side
and top panels for protection.
SPECTRA477-1 Spectra model 477 ramp generator. Although 1 $ 200.00
a higher number, this must predate the SP-476 Pic
since it is Spectra, NOT Spectra-Physics, and
is obviously more primitive. Partially
working, fair-good cosmetic condition.
HENESP120-1 Spectra-Physics 120 laser head with matching 1 $ 1,500.00
SP-256 exciter in near mint condition. Pic
Instant start, over 8 mW after short
warmup. Has the original tube which as
far as I can tell must be optically contacted
or a very lucky sealing job because it does
not degrade on the shelf. Nice large shiny
getter with only the slightest bit of erosion
around edge. Dull gray paint job, almost
perfect on head, a few scuffs on
exciter. Be the first on your planet to
own a very rare functionally excellent
sample of this historic laser directly
out of the stasis field preservation box!
HENESP120-2 Above system with original SP polarizer, 1 $ 2,000.00
polarization rotator, and spatial filter.
HUAHENE1-1 Non-functional Hughes 3178H laser head with 1 $ 250.00
working 3598 power supply. Good cosmetic Pic
condition with Hughes mount/shroud (attaches
via 1/4-20 thread, stand not included). This
system dates from the mid 1970s. You could
cheat and install a modern tube in the head
cylinder, but I don't want to know about it! :)
HEAHENE2-1 Similar to above but with longer laser head 1 $ 275.00
and 3509H power supply.
HUAHENE3-1 Really long Hughes 2-B HeNe laser head. About 1 TBD
24" and black instead of gold but otherwise
similar to the ones above. Head only.
HENESP86-T1 These are Spectra-Physics 086-4 linearly 3 $ 50.00
polarized HeNe laser tubes used in some of Pic
the earliest barcode scanners. They are
unused in perfect operating condition
producing around 1 mW. These are
hard-sealed, 25-30 years old but behave
like new.
HENESP084-X DEAD SP-084 HeNe laser tubes. Some assembly - $ 15.00
may be required as I've salvaged mirrors Diagram
from some of these, but will include
suitable mirrors (good for display at
least) to glue back on. These were used
some of the first barcode scanners as
earliest laser "pointers".
HENESP86-H1 The complete head assembly containing the 086-4 1 $ 50.00
tube, above. Except for the scrap value of the
aluminum cylinder, there's really no point in
getting this instead of a tube. And the added
shipping cost probably balances that. :)
ANTIQUE-2-B I have a variety of old and truly ancient 2-B - Make
HeNe laser tubes available. Although none offer
are operational, some do light up and would
make very impressive wall displays. :) A few
of these are over 40 years old! Includes:
* SP-130 (NOS/new/mint, complete but up to air due to age). Pic
* SP-130 (NOS/new, unfinished, missing B-windows) Pic.
* SP-131 (NOS/new, unfinished, glass only) Pic.
* SP-131 (Missing B-windows) Pic A Pic B.
For display purposes, it would be very easy to
add windows using pieces of microscope slides.
The SP130/131s may be unique is using neon sign
electrode for the cathode rather than a hot
filament or aluminum cylinder. These could be
the transition period and quite rare.
* SP-119 (Probably unused but up to air due to age).
* Assorted SP (neon sign type) electrodes. Pic.
Antique-HN Other old tubes include:
* Metrologic internal mirror tubes, various lengths (all glass,
NOT J-tube). Pic.
* Hughes internal mirror tubes, various lengths (some may lase
but are weak or hard start). These have tiny three-screw
mirror adjusters built-in. Pic
* Hughes 2-B tubes in cylinder (dead, some serious disassembly
required). Pic
* NEC internal mirror tubes, various lengths. Pic
HENESP133-2 Spectra-Physics 133 HeNe laser with exciter. 1 $ 25.00
Good exciter, high pressure tube works but
doesn't like to stay lit without cooling
and is low power. Generally good cosmetic
condition. The exciter can power a 3 to
4 mW HeNe laser tube if rewired for another
tube or head. A thin (i.e., 1 inch diameter)
HeNe laser tube of conventional design can
be installed in the head without too much
trouble. See Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3, Pic 4
for views of identical laser.
SP-145-1 Spectra-Physics 145 laser head with 248 1 Make
exciter, circa 1980. The output is offer
around 1.5 mW. Good cosmetic condition.
Could be a nice collectible.
ME620 Metrologic ME620 with separate linear power 1 $ 100.00
supply, circa 1978. NON-WORKING. The tube Pic
is up to air and the power supply has low
starting voltage (but should be repairable).
Since the ME620 seems to not be common, this
would also be a nice collectible. Very
good cosmetic condition.

shutter, and emission LED. Input to the
scanners is up to 5 V with a bandwidth of
perhaps 10 Hz at full voltage; 50-100 Hz
at 1 V. Designed for a HeNe laser but
would work with any other narrow (1 or 2 mm)
beam. The beam enters through a ~1/4"
hole on the side 1-7/8" from bottom. There
is a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole for mounting.
This looks more like someone's high school

HENESRVC Testing and mirror alignment (if necessary) of most
HeNe lasers:
Note: Where there is a possibility that the complaint is
actually due to a power supply failure or compatibility
issue, both the laser head/tube and power supply must be
provided for evaluation.
* Test any internal mirror HeNe laser. This means determining
gas integrety, gas fill condition, starting, and likely
cause of lasing problems (if any), as well as test of power
supply if present, and determination of operating and dropout
current (where relevant). Minor mirror alignment (i.e., peaking
power) is included if disassembly not required.
- Small (less than 10 mW red). $ 25.00
- Medium (10 to 20 mW red). $ 50.00
- Large (20 to 35+ mW red). $ 100.00
* Same for external mirror HeNe lasers:
- Small (e.g., SP-120, SP-122). $ 100.00
- Large (e.g., SP-124, SP-127, Siemens/LASOS LGK7676). $ 250.00
(Must be sent in shipping carton that can be used for
return journey - minimum of 6 inches of padding all
around.)
Testing of similar physical size "other color" (including IR)
HeNe lasers at same rates.
* Major mirror alignment for HeNe lasers: Cost above, plus
time at $100/hour. This generally means there is no
lasing and both mirrors may be misaligned. Obviously, this
won't be worth it for most lower power HeNe lasers. And,
there could of course be other problems.

* Hard start modification to enable Spectra-Physics model $ 50.00
155 and similar HeNe lasers that are hard to start to start
reliably.
Note: For this to work, laser must stay on reliably but
simply be hard to start cold or hot.
* Installation of replacement tube or power supply in HeNe
lasers including stabilized HeNe lasers. Cost will depend
on cost and availability of suitable parts, and the labor
required for replacement, cleaning and alignment (if
needed) and testing.
* Repair of HeNe laser power supply. Includes bricks and 50 percent of
lab supplies. Availability may depend on model and new cost
symptoms. Email for details.

Metrology Laser Service
These are single-frequency or two-frequency HeNe lasers used in semiconductor
wafer steppers, measurement and calibration systems, and other metrology
applications. Manufacturers include Hewlett Packard/Agilent, Excel, Zygo,
Mark-Tech, and others. For resellers, being able to state that, for example,
an HP-5517C laser is "working and meets HP/Agilent specs with warranty" as
opposed to "as-is, untested", can result in a selling price 10 times higher.
I am set up to do quantity testing of these lasers, as well as many types
of repairs. In addition, if you have a rebuilt metrology laser (or suspect
that you do) or are a supplier of rebuilt metrology lasers, I am equipped
to perform extensive testing to determine if it/they meet original manufacturer
specifications. Inquire for more information or for lasers not listed
below. Proposals welcome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HENEMLSRVC Testing, adjustment, and repair of single and two-
frequency HeNe lasers used in various metrology
applications.
* Basic testing of most single-frequency metrology lasers like
Axsys/Teletrac 150 (all versions) and Mark-Tech 7900/10.
Depending on the specific model laser, testing includes
locking performance, output power, mode balance, optical
beam quality, and evaluation in an interferometer.
First laser $ 175.00
Each of two similar lasers $ 150.00
Each of three or more similar lasers $ 125.00
The prices for multiple lasers includes the *option* of
swapping parts to make as many working lasers from them
as possible which meet manufacturer specifications.
Parts swap on a labor basis at $100/hour. (Typically
less than 1 hour per laser, first hour free.)
* Extended testing of Axsys/Teletrac, Mark-Tech, and
selected other single-frequency metrology lasers.
Everything in basic testing plus 8 hour stability
measurements, and checking for any anomalous behavior
that may result in problems in an actual application.
First laser $ 350.00
Each of two similar lasers $ 325.00
Each of three or more similar lasers $ 275.00
* Basic testing of most two-frequency metrology lasers like
HP/Agilent-5501A/B, all 5517s including A/B/C/DL/E/FL/GL,
5518A, 5519A/B, Zygo 7701/02/12/14/22/24, Excel, Optra,
Excel, Optra, PLASMA, more. Depending on the specific model
laser, testing includes locking performance, output power,
mode balance, optical signal quality, and evaluation in an
interferometer.
First laser $ 225.00
Each of two similar lasers $ 175.00
Each of three or more similar lasers $ 150.00
The prices for multiple lasers includes the *option* of
swapping parts to make as many working lasers from them
as possible which meet manufacturer specifications.
Parts swap on a labor basis at $100/hour. (Typically
less than 1 hour per laser, first hour free.)
* Extended testing of HP/Agilent 5501A/B and all 5517, 5518,
and 5519 metrology lasers, Excel 1001A/B/F, and others.
Everything in basic testing plus 8 hour stability measurements,
and checking for any anomalous behavior that may result in
problems in an actual application.
First laser $ 450.00
Each of two similar lasers $ 375.00
Each of three or more similar lasers $ 325.00
* Extended testing of Zygo 7701 and 7702 lasers. Everything
in basic testing plus 24 hour log to check for random
mode flip or other erroneous behavior. (Price is per unit.)
First laser $ 550.00
Each of two similar lasers $ 475.00
Each of three or more similar lasers $ 425.00
* Repair of "flickering tube syndrome" in HP/Agilent, $ 650.00
Excel, and other metrology lasers. This will restore
stable output if the laser power is still satisfactory.
If laser is not salvageable with either the power being
too low or requiring too much tube current to be stable,
the charge will only be for evaluation. Anecdotal
evidence suggests that this will allow the laser to
be usable for a minimum of several months in continuous
operation or *years* if only turned on when needed.
* Repair of "flickering tube syndrome" in 5500A/C, and Ask
5501A.
* HP/Agilent or Zygo 7705 laser REF frequency $ 250.00
reduction surgery. This will allow a laser whose REF
frequency is either out of spec (due to being high
mileage), or is simply higher than required to work
in a finicky machine that complains if the REF
frequency exceeds the spec'd maximum to be put back
into service. For the outcome to be successful, the
laser must be otherwise healthy with acceptable output
power, and reliable and stable locking. What's done
will not affect alignment and is totally reversible
if needed. And output power may increase slightly.
* HP/Agilent 5517B or 5517C laser REF frequency $ 250.00
boost surgery. This could permit a 5517B to meet
5517C specs or a 5517C to meet 5517D specs.
For the outcome to be successful, the laser must
be healthy with acceptable output power, and reliable
and stable locking. The output power may end up
slightly lower, so if marginal to begin with, this
is not recommended. The chance of success depends
on the particular laser and cannot be predicted
without testing. If unsuccessful, REF may end up
as much as 0.1 MHz lower than it was originally,
which is not likely to be a problem.
* Replacement of 5501B tube with 5517B tube. This will $ 300.00
create a laser identical to a 5501B EXCEPT for the + Parts
REF frequency, which will be that of the 5517B donor.
The required "Parts" are the 5517B laser tube and
5501B body. If provided by the customer, additional
evaluation charges may apply.
* Similar to above but REF frequency will meet 5501B $ 500.00

Digital readout. 6802/6821 based, 2708
EPROM is probably good since program runs.
Fair-to-good physical condition. Note: This
model is readout only, no setpoint outputs.
Note: The following thermocouple vacuum gauges are guaranteed to be functional
but may require calibration if sold without a TC gauge tube since despite what
the manufacturer claims, there is some variation from one tube to the next,
especially if they have been used to measure vacuum in an Amazon rain
forest. :) Calibration is trivial if your vacuum system can go down
to near 0 Torr. If sold with a tube, I will test and calibrate if needed.
DV-6R Teledyne Hastings DV-6R thermocouple vacuum 1 $ 65.00

ruggedized version of the DV-6M for use with
the VT-6 and CVT-6.
DV-4AM Teledyne Hastings DV-4AM thermocouple vacuum 1 $ 35.00
gauge tube. Used, tested. These will work
with the VT-4 and CVT-4 though I'm not sure
how close the calibration is compared to
the DV-4D.
DV-16D Teledyne Hastings DV-16D thermocouple vacuum 1 $ 45.00
gauge tube. All glass version of DV-4D,

a funny 4 pin DIN-style connector but is
otherwise fully compatible. Useful range
of 0.1 to 20 Torr, fast response. List
price from Hastings Instruments is $289.
(Adapter to cable or octal base can be
built for about $2, no need to spend the
$125 Hastings charges.) Feel free to
haggle over price. :)

the electronics are functional. Note
that this unit will work as a TC vacuum

its current condition, some reassembly
required though. I guarantee that the
printed scale looks good. :)
THGAUGE-1 General Electric model 22-GC-310 thermistor 1 $ 15.00

VARHV1 Ultra Lasertech high voltage power supply. 1 $ 125.00
Adjustable from 0 to about 15 kV (at 115 VAC
in). Meters read 25 kV full scale and 10 mA
full scale. Variac to control output voltage
so - regulation, but it's probably fairly
robust against accidents. Note: There is an
interlock relay missing, would need to
replace or bypass. This is a HEAVY unit,
probably 40-50 pounds, fully enclosed 19"
rack-size box. Prefer pickup in Phila area,
but will ship.
IGNITER-1 SUPER size high voltage 60 A pulse transformer, 1 Make
0.01 uF 10 kV capacitor, and 5.5 kV spark offer
gap, part of arc lamp igniter from a Hughes/JVC
100 video projector. Requires source of 10 kV
or more at low current to trigger and generate
32 kV output pulse. (Originally, a HeNe laser
power supply provided the HV but that has
better uses!) This thing would work well for
starting almost any size ion laser or arc lamp.
Excellent condition. (Complete unit may be
available, please ask.)
HVP-1208A Toyo Corporation (Japan) high voltage power 1 $ 150.00

1.1 mA max; 4.5 to 7.65 kVDC, 15 uA max; and
200 to 1,000 VDC, 5 uA max. This is the CRT
high voltage power supply used in various
Monitronix monitors (EZ, etc.). It would also
make a very nice general HV source. Internal
adjustments permit output to 32 kV. Removed
from working equipment. It's a metal cased
high frequency inverter, about 5"x6"x2".

All outputs are adjustable a bit. Input of
around 24 VDC. Individual enables for each
HV output. Also has an auxiliary +5 VDC
regulated 1 A output with its own input.
Wiring information will be provided.
These are NOS in original wrapping. Could
be nice for an air purifier, ozone generator,
or similar application (10.5 kV between HV
outputs), or a replacement for that laser
printer or copier it was destined for. :)
HVP-PN20KV Glassman High Voltage HV power supply model 1 Make
PS/NV-20PN15. This is a precision tracking Pic offer
unit outputting 0 to +20 kV and 0 to -20 kV
at up to 15 mA intended for an ion implanter.
It appears to be either very lightly used or
a spare. Excellent functional and cosmetic
condition. I have modified it for operation
on 115 AC (was 230 VAC) and to enable the
variable current limit function (2 resistors
on each PCB) but can easily be restored for
use in original application. It may be used
as two independent variable high voltage power
supplies by rewiring the backpanel-to-PCB
cables. Complete documentation available.
Note: This is an OEM supply with only a
power switch on the front panel. Control
and monitoring is via a backpanel connector.
However, construction of a user control panel
would be straightforward.

2N7236 P-Channel 100 V, 18 A, 125 W power MOSFET, >10 $ TBD
TO-254AA gold plated metal isolated hermetic
package. Never used (NOS) in original cute
antistatic plastic box. These are MIL-Spec
devices with individual serial numbers and
we the tax-payers probably paid a fortune for
them! The International Rectifier equivalent
is IRFM9140. DigiKey has commercial version
in very boring plastic TO-247 package (IRFP-9140)
for about $10 each but these are so much more way
cool. :) Even if you don't know what a MOSFET
is, they are worth framing. :) Otherwise, great
for motor or thermoelectric controllers, maybe
even super high power laser diode drivers,
or other high current applications. (The
actual part number is 20036291P1 on package
but device itself is marked 2N7236.)
2N7218-a N-Channel 100 V, 28 A, 125 W power MOSFET. >10 $ TBD
IR equivalent: IRFM-140. Commercial:
IRFP-140. Otherwise, same as above.
(Actual part number is 3274037-5.)
2N7218-b Same as above but actual part number is >10 $ TBD
20027003 P2.)
A few complementary pairs of these would probably also
be good for your next power audio project. They would
really look nice in a high-end amplifier behind glass
in their gold plated package with stainless steel welded
cover. Perhaps even add a mini-laser show inside the
amp to complement the great sound. None of that cheap
plastic transistor nonsense!
Note for the 2N7218s: I need to confirm these specs as the
parts are only marked with the house number. I've only
confirmed the polarity with a VOM and moist finger. If
anyone has more info, please let me know via email. I
may have to resort to a curve tracer though.

are mostly PG2 (3.3 V) and a couple PG1 (5 V),
*prototype* TMX chips. (Though prototypes,
they are essentially fully functional with only
minor quirks.) These should probably
be in the antiques section (1994 date code) but
might be of interest to someone needing
spares for one of those never ending
projects or as a desk ornament - pop the
cover and the chip is still impressive even
by today's standards. Most of these are
never used (NOS) from a project that got
canned. Some were tested but I guarantee that
most of the CPU cycles are still there. :)
These cost $1,300 each, new. If course, now
they probably aren't worth their weight in

PLANAR1 Craftsman 4" Joiner/Planar model 1 $ 50.00
113.21861, NO MOTOR. This is an old
but very well built cast iron unit.
Knives are in good condition and
freshly sharpened. Bare cast iron
surfaces could use a bit of polishing
but no real rust. Will require
a 1/4 to 1/2 HP induction motor,
pulley, V-belt, and motor mount.
This is just the planar itself,
28"x9"x9" with adjustable height
and fence and blade guard. This
works well but I recycled the
cart on which it was mounted for
other purposes. :) Motor available,
see below.
SANDER1 4" belt sander/8" disk sander, mfg. 1 Make
and model unknown, NO MOTOR. Heavy offer
cast iron, includes medium grit
belt in almost new condition and
well used coarser grit belt. Vertical
or horizontal with fence. Bearings
are somewhat worn but usable. Will
require a 1/4 to 1/2 HP induction motor,
pulley, V-belt, and motor mount.
This is just the sander itself. Motor
available, see below.
SCROLSAW1 Really old scroll saw head, mfg. and 1 Make
model unknown, NO MOTOR. Cast iron offer
with blade, hold down. 12" throat. Will
require a 1/4 to 1/2 HP induction motor,
pulley, V-belt, and motor mount. This
is just the saw itself. This may have
more antique value than being a useful
tool. Motor available, see below.
INDMOTOR1 Ugly but functional 1/3 to 1/2 HP 1735 rpm 3 $ 15.00
split phase or capacitor start induction
motor for above. Sleeve bearings, 115 VAC,
60 Hz. Includes mount and grounded cord
with three prong plug.

HP3440A-M Operating and Service Manual for HP-3440A 1 $ 25.00
digital voltmeter. Original manual - not

GR1191B General Radio 1191B 35 MHz 8 digit frequency 1 $125.00
counter. Good bright Nixies. Case is
somewhat beat up but tender loving care
would probably take care of most of it.
Appears to work fine. Service information
may be available.
HP59501B HP-IB Isolated D/A Power Supply Programmer. 1 Make
Very good cosmetic condition. Powers up offer
but otherwise untested since I have no idea
what this does.
B321 Ballantine RAP (RMS, Average, Peak) AC 1 Make
Voltmeter. Analog mirrored meter, offer
vacuum tubes inside. :) Ranges from
0.3 mV to 300 V full scale. Somewhat
beat case, needs a good cleaning inside
but basically works. No probe (I have
no idea what it takes). Just what
everyone needs for that museum.
HP-415E Hewlett Packard SWR meter model 415E. 1 Make
Powers up but unable to test further. offer
HP-431B Hewlett Packard power meter model 431B. 1 Make
Powers up but unable to test further. offer
No sensor or power cord.
MIC-FSM Micronta model 21-525B Field Strength/SWR 1 $ 10.00
Tester. Removable antenna for field strength;
screw-type coax connectors for TRANS and ANT
for SWR. Very good condition, nothing burned
or broken, meter works, but that is the extent
of my testing.
SUPCRT-1 Superior Instruments Company CRT tester. This 1 $ 15.00
is probably only useful as a collectible since Pic
it has one socket for a CRT type that probably
hasn't been manufactured in 35 years. Settings
for cathode, control grid, screen, 1st anode,
and filament.
VATEMPC Valhalla (whoever they are!) temperature probe 1 $ 25.00
for DMMs with a range that reads out in mV for
the LSB. Uses 9 V battery (not included).
TEK529R Tektronix model 529 TV waveform monitor, 1 Make
rackmount. Appears to work but could really offer
use a good cleaning and calibration. This
is a classic and a must for any NTSC TV
studio or editing facility if such things
exist anymore.
TEK529N Same as above but non-rackmount, no cover. 1 Make
Nice bright trace. offer
TEK564 Tektronix 564 storage oscilloscope, 10 MHz 1 Make
vertical bandwidth. With dual trace offer
vertical plugin and spare (may need work),
with original operation and service manual
in very good condition, available by itself
but at an additional charge. :) A classic.
I will test but may not work at this point,
probably needing filter caps replaces. Pick
up in Phila area only.
HEATHIO-14 Heathkit model IO-14 5 MHz single trace 1 Make
oscilloscope. I built this from a kit offer
over 30 years ago. Will test if there is
any interest. Includes original assembly
and operation manual with genuine Sam
scribbling. Actually used very little.
Pick up in Philadelphia area only.
HEATHS3 Heathkit dual trace switch model S-3. This 1 Make
thing takes your single trace scope and offer
make it dual trace, supposedly, at audio
frequencies at least. Untested.
WTFG1 Wavetek model 159 Waveform Generator, 1 Make
rackmount (19"x5-1/4"), KB selection offer
with some sort of non-standard digital
interface as well, 15 pin Molex-type
connector on rear panel). This is NOT a
PLL synthesizer but just a collection of
op-amps and reed relays. It goes up to
a couple MHz with decent waveshape.
However, without computer control, this
is an absolute !@#$ to set up since the
KB isn't latched - hit any number and the
output changes! Case is beat up with
bracket/handle broken on one side. In
other words, it's basically a piece of
junk but now works well since I replaced
all the ceramic bypass caps. It does
have a nice display and fills a 5-1/4"
rack space very snugly. :)
WTPM1 Wavetek model 740 phase meter. This 1 Make
thing is supposed to compare the phase offer
of a pair of signals and display the
lead or lag angle on an analog meter.
I'm not sure why anyone would want one
of these except for a Wavetek museum
but here it is. Needs work as the
meter needle never settles down.
Possibly, the same ceramic cap problem
as in the 159, above. Since I can't
think of anything I would use it for,
I have no intention of fixing it.
RCAWR64A RCA model WR-64A color bar/dot/crosshatch 1 Make
generator in absolutely positively mint offer
physical condition. It did work when I
tried it a few years ago. This is a classic
vacuum tube based instrument that would be
the perfect complement to that EICO VTVM
for your state-of-the-art consumer
electronics repair bench. In original box
complete with operation and service manual
and RCA brochure should you wish to purchase
other advanced RCA test equipment. Time
machine access codes sold separately. :) And
as a free bonus, you also get the service
info for the RCA 21-CT-7835(U) and similar
chassis, somewhat tattered but appears
complete, circa 1957.
EICO482 This dual trace scope was working 15 or 20 1 Free
years ago and has sat ever since. Good
CRT. I powered it up recently but there
was no trace though I think I was able to
get something on the screen. But no
guarantees other than that it's inc oomplete
and in decent physical condition with no
obviously blown up parts. Includes service
mannual with complete schematics.
If you'd like a fun challenge, this is for
you. If on the other hand you just want a
working scope, go to eBay, since you'll
probably need a working scope to fix this
one anyhow. :)
I was going to put it on the curb but just
wasn't able to throw a scope away so it's
back here for now. :) Pay shipping and
its yours!
EICO232 EICO model 232 vacuum tube voltmeter in like 1 Make
new condition. I built this from a kit more offer
years ago than I'd like to recall. :) With
probe and manual.
HEATHPS3 Heathkit model PS-3 regulated power power supply 1 Make
B+ output is adjustable from 0 to 500 VDC, offer
Heathkit model PS-3 regulated power powe available current depends on output voltage.
There is also a 6.3 VAC, 4 A, output for vacuum
tube filaments. Someone added a fuse in the
high voltage line which is a nice feature (if
a bit ugly). This makes a decent strobe
capacitor charger or more likely if you're
considering it, something to test old tube
radios. Includes copy of user manual and
schematics.
HEATHIG82 Heathkit model IG-82 audio sine/squarewave 1 Make
generator. offer
HEATHG1 Heathkit model G-1 RF signal generator, not 1 Make
entirely working, for parts. This one offer
predates the more modern Heath color scheme.

BREP44 Ancient Brother model EP44 self contained 1 Make
portable word processor. Tested and works. offer
Pre-laptop, maybe pre-dinosaur. :) Actually, Pic
calling it a word processor is probably
generous. It's sort of like a small thermal
dot matrix printer that works with plain paper
(includes almost new ribbon), keyboard, and
short 1 or 2 line LCD display, DB25 RS232
connector, about 10x12x2" overall when closed,

Wanted to Acquire
These are mostly items I'm interested in for personal use and go toward
enhancing the FAQs. Therefore, the prices have to be very low or free
so offers of lasers at 10 percent off of manufacturer's list don't
qualify! :) Trades will be considered. Also see the section of Sam's Laser
FAQ: Please Don't Scrap Your Unwanted
or Broken Lasers or Laser Related Equipment and Parts! and
Request for Computer Resources in Support of
Sam's Laser FAQ Development.
Lasers and Optics
I am interested in laser related equipment, parts, and supplies in almost
any condition as long as it isn't totally mangled or burnt to a crisp. And,
even then, parts might be salvageable. :) The only restriction is that
complete systems must not require a fork-lift to move and run on single
phase 115 or 230 VAC or some form of DC - from batteries up to 100 kV. :)
Optical Instruments/Parts
I am interested in monochronometers, interferometers, autocollimators, and
other interesting optical instruments or parts (like diffraction gratings),
in almost any condition. This could include even more sophisticated
equipment like optical spectrum analyzers and wavemeters, at the right price!
Laser/Optics Manuals

Electronic Test Equipment
Electronic Test Equipment Manuals
I am looking for operation and service manuals including schematics or
just schematics for specific pieces of test equipment. Clean originals
would be most desirable but I will pay reasonable photocopying and snail
mail costs, or possibly something in trade. Many PDF versions tend to
be only marginally legible and true original or excellent copy is
really preferable! :) The following are in no particular order.
Consumer/Industrial Electronics Manuals
PCB Fabrication
I have several small printed circuit board designs in Gerber format that I
need fabbed in multiple quantities. They are for the Coherent C315M laser.
I know I can go to a Web PCB fab service company and get these but if you
are doing a PCB run and can shoehorn a bunch of step-and-repeat 1 to 2 inch
square two sided or 4 layer PTH PCBs onto a corner of your artwork without
incurring significant additional cost, maybe we can trade for something
if you don't think the info in the FAQs and copies of these or other
C315M related PCBs is sufficient compensation. :) I'll provide artwork
of the individual or multiple PCBs as desired.
