Malcolm,
Have you tried http://www.roditi.com/Laser/Ruby.html
I have spoken to them in the past regarding ruby rods and they were very
helpful, IIRC small 5x50mm rods cost about £100 about 9 years ago.
And I realise this is probably the wrong side of the world for you , but
various optical filters can be sourced from
OCLI Optical Coatings Ltd
Ridge Way, Hillend Industrial Park
Dalgety Bay
Dunfermline
Fife
KY11 5FR
I have used them in the past for both IR reflective and IR Transmissive
filters as well as a range of filters in the visible spectrum.
Cheers
Derek

Hi Peoples,
Although this isn't strictly a high voltage topic the
driving system I wish to use for a pulsed laser may loosely be described as
such. I would be grateful to all who could give me some pointers as to where
to obtain lasing media in the form of rods be it "ruby", dimer or whatever.
I am obtaining some powerful xenon flashlamps as pumping devices. I wish to
explore the feasibility of what I think might be a novel configuration of
coupling the source to the media. I would also be interested in knowing
whether and where one might obtain a sheet of material capable of filtering
out infrared radiation but passing visible light (and above perhaps) -
essentially a high-pass optical filter. A high refractive index would be a
bonus.
Regards,
Malcolm
