#Laser
In this episode, a sub $30 dollar junk tattoo laser is torn right down, repaired and re-assembled into a bench-top instrument.
During the repair, theory is covered, as well as some practical alignment techniques.
A home made, high voltage power supply is constructed for it, generating 100 Joules for the flash-lamp.
The final Solid State Q-switched nanosecond Neodymium:YAG Laser has megawatt level peak powers, capable of vaporising materials, generating plasma in the air, and frequency doubling to green.
Power measurement is done using a Joule Meter, a fast picosecond risetime photodiode, and an oscilloscope, with some very surprising results!
