Photos of American Laser Corporation Lasers and Power Supplies

The small air-cooled American Laser Corporation 60 series ion lasers are by far the most common types available on the surplus market. Depending on particular model and configuration, they are capable of between 10 and 200 mW output power and may be fitted with single or multi-line optics.
