Hello, everyone.
I just bougth online this broken coherent Fap800 for 30 bucks.
Anyone think is repairable if it is just the connector? You guys think inside was vacumm or just a dust free enclosure with regular air?
Anyone knows what should be the other devices?
Thank you all.

If I understand what I’m looking at unless you want to fiber couple you could just take it off. If you want it you need to glue it back on and hope you get lucky on the alignment.

It just arrived. I don't know how this fiber is. Gotta learn about them.
This bigger crystal I wonder if those metallic devices above and bellow are thermalcoolers or what..
Also gotta figure out what are these both crystals.

Hello, guys! How are you doing?
So, I tested the module at just 5 amps and as you can see in the camera screen, there is ligth coming out this baby.
without the fiber termination, we can see like 2 light spots reflecting. With the termination, there's not much light as without it.
Now I wonder what kind of optics we have in this termination. The only information I found is that it has AR coating on the outside mirror.
What would do you guys think would be the best approach to make this module functional? I would like to put it in my cnc for laser marking.

The device I asked what it was, the one with cables and crystal, is an acousto-optical modulator. It has no part number on it but it could be an active q-switch.
