I am a Physics student at the University of Texas @ Austin. I am writing here today to chronicle my recent experience buying, well thats attempting to buy initially a Fiber Coupled Laser Diode Package for the express use of pumping a YAG or YVO4 solid state crystal to use to produce 1064nm or other output for pumping NLO crystald of KTP, LBO, KDP, etc.

I have had a sheer nightmare experience with a seemingly reputable seller at ebay : spectralaser previous to my experience I will describe and use to forewarn other buyers this seller had 100% feedback rating and approximately 125 feedbacks.

This seller was attractive to me because he offered products I was seeking that I had seen no where else, by others.

In particular I was looking for integrated 808nm diode laser packages with an integral fiber optic output to an FC Fiber connector for the attachment of a fiber lens. He had several offerings or so it seemed in the 20-70watt range.

to be completed as time permits thanks for your patcience or in one instance anger for disclosure of your fraudulent activities you know who you are
