Nd Glass Laser Rods, Failed Fusion(?) Laser Rods and Segments Rod Type:Rod Segment (shard off of The Big One about 7cm long and broken in half lengthwise) the smaller they are

the smaller they are

giving more of a pondwater set of colors instead of the typical deep aqua-blue you get from Yb:YAG

the middle looks fairly clean

These are nice conical preforms

These are partial and complete neodymium-doped glass laser rods in a variety of different shapes and sizes

Nd Glass Laser Rods, Failed Fusion(?) Laser Rods and Segments Rod Type:Rod Segment (shard off of The Big One about 7cm long and broken in half lengthwise) the smaller they areThese are partial and complete neodymium doped glass laser rods in a variety of different shapes and sizes. The Big One is a segment of a 1m long laser rod with one polished, finished end and one broken end. It has flame polished edges with a couple tiny chips. The peach rod came to us labeled Nd: YAG but it is definitely glass. It has one polished end with a couple chips cut at a slight angle, presumably to avoid back reflections and one broken end.
