SSY-1 Nd:YAG Laser Head These are getting very rare out there now as it has been some time since these laser heads have been replaced. Originally used in the M1 Abrams tank as the laser for the laser range finder, they have been since replaced by "eye friendly" lasers. This particular unit contains all the original components (YAG rod, flash lamp, output coupler mirror, high reflecting mirror, and passive q-switch). Provide the laser head with with a pulse forming network and a trigger circuit to the flashlamp and you will get high intensity pulsed beam at 1064nm. WARNING: The output from this laser will blind you. Take the proper precautions to protect your eyes. Either enclose the beam path or use laser eye protection rated for pulsed 1064nm over the nanosecond range. Here is a sample power supply you can build for this laser head. There is a large resource for building various power supplies for these. http://www.randombytes.org/images/yag_psu/yag_psu_schematic.gif (FYI, be careful with YAG power supplies. They will kill you without a second chance) Here is a video showing how simple the power supply can be to trigger this laser head. I do not recommend dumping 1800 mfd into the flash lamp at 500+ VDC but it makes a nice hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h3U_8vdPis
