This is the big Argon Ion / Dye lasers Too wide to fit through the storage door this way, but that's okay, I didn't want to bring it outside in the rain :)

This is a 'back view' of the big argon/dye laser. The black motor looking thing is the dye pump, the silver box on the left is the PSU, the hoses are the water coolant lines, and the red piece holding up the bucket in the upper right is a 'scissor jack' when you lower this, the lid stays attached to the frame and the bucked lowers so you can fill it or what not.

This is the left portion, power supplies for both lasers are the same model, so this applies to both. One breaker is for ANODE, it's a double pole type, the lower breakers is also double pole, probably for the main power.

Model Number for the PSU's. Can't seem to find any information on these.

This is what the tube in the argon/dye unit is marked as, numbers are different on the other tube, but hard to get a pic. They read 01-931614390 MLR / W and A266FL (I think)

This is the dye section of the argon/dye laser. The little plastic thing slides down which opens up the spray to the atmosphere. You can see the optics in the background. It looks like the unit is set up to pass the argon beam through the dye multiple times.

This is a pic of the plastic 'cap' pulled down, argon and dye interaction happens in between the gap.

This is the power supply mounted in the smaller Argon laser. Smaller in size, but I assume the argon tubes have about the same power output.

This is the tube mounted in the smaller argon laser, you can see a muffin fan on the lower right. Both lasers have at least 2 fans for the Endbell, this one has an extra one for the anode end. The heatsink with the red wire is part of the argon tube trigger circuit.

in this picture you can see a lot of stuff. The power cable goes into the case next to the cooling water connections. Both units appear to be single phase 220/240 powered.

This is a shot of the cathode end of the small argon. Somewhat interesting to note that the HR is on the cathode end of this laser, and the black module to the left of the HR mounting plate is the fiber coupler. Red wires are part of the safety interlock connections. Blue and Black wire connected to the tube are to power the filament, and act as cathodes.

This is the cathode/filament end of the argon/dye. You can see the fragile glass piece which extends into the protective housing. The flass piece terminates at a brewster window. In the metal block to the right is the high reflector mount.

This is prettyu much the same as the cathode end, glass stem with brewster window, you can see the anode connection (red wire), coolant lines, and dye pump(bottom center) in this pic.

This is the dye filter assembly, you can still see there is dye in the lines around the filter. Off to the right is some of the logic board.

This is the trigger board assembly for the Argon/Dye system, doesn't look like much, a high voltage transformer on the right, some HV caps(middle of pic) and diodes on the board. You can see the red wire lead in from the anode to the heatsink mount on the left. Apparently these heat sunk devices are high voltage, high current diodes which keep the HV trigger pulse from going back to the power supply. looks pretty simple :)

This is the fiber coupler for the argon/dye laser system. The greay cut off wire in the middle of the image is actually trhe cut fiber. To the left you can see some control panel connections. For this to be run it will probably have to be 'hotwired' :)

This is a rotating polarizer assembly, to the right you can see the motor, on the left is a sensor. worm gear drives the disc round and round.
