    Description

    Before you get overly excited, this listing is for the working Genesis laser head ONLY! ;-)
    Coherent Genesis 532-1000-SM-MX-OPSL 532 nm Laser HEAD ONLY in excellent cosmetic and operating condition.  It outputs over 1 W (1,000 mW) at less than 75% of the pump diode current limit.  The beam quality is excellent - single spatial mode near TEM00 with a low M-Squared value.  It is SINGLE LONGITUDINAL MODE (SLM) / Single Frequency AT ALL POWER LEVELS from 25 mW to above 1 W if mated with an appropriate controller.
    This laser head requires a current-regulated power supply rated for up to 15 AMPs for the pump diode.  It must have high speed protection against over-voltage, over-current, and reverse polarity.
    Low power TEC controllers are required for the BRF and LBO crystals.  A high power TEC controller is required for the base-plate/case.
    The photos of the laser head are typical but this one is essentially identical.  It includes the cables that mate with the standard Coherent controller.  That controller was defective but is available in a separate listing if you'd like to try your hand at repair. ;-)  If you have a working Genesis controller, it should be possible to mate it with this head, though the power calibration may need adjustment.
    This laser head requires water cooling - a recirculating chiller is recommended (not included), though tap water should be acceptable.  It doesn't require much water flow but it must be present for continuous operation.  Substituting a large air-cooled heat sink should be possible but that is NOT included either.
    It has been tested SLM for many hours above 1 W.  The laser head is capable of 2 W or more at 15 A, though it is not known if it would be SLM there.
    The Coherent installation and user manuals will be included.
    Due to the fragile nature of laser pump diodes, no returns on this, sorry. ;-)
    Feel free to as many relevant questions as desired. ;-)
    Thanks for looking.
