You can obtain a Q-Switched laser off ebay for around $600 by purchasing one of the cheap "tattoo removal" machines. Not a bad price I think. Q-Switching is cool, but isn't fast enough to produce the higher powers available from a mode-locked laser. I'm looking forward to when a DIYer can put together a mode-locked fiber laser at home. That opens up some crazy applications(i.e. particle accelerator).
- monoideism 6y agoSafety aside, I wonder if those cheap tattoo removers work (I have no tattoos, just curious). Anyone tried one to remove tattoos? Edit: clarified that I'm asking specifically about its performance as a tattoo remover.

- monoideism 6y agoThanks, yeah. Looks like it would work. If you're light-skinned. Otherwise, it looks like a big burn hazard. Wow.
- abdullahkhalids 6y agoWhat sort of particle accelerator are you talking about? Which particle, what energy?
- 01100011 6y agoI'm be happy to move some electrons above the nuclear binding energy(~6MeV). Not sure about specifics, but picojoule laser driven particle accelerators can generate MeV+ energies in some very small spaces.
