I would like to thank everyone who responded to my inquiry about Continuum
vs. Spectra Physics nanosecond Nd:YAG lasers. I collected all the
responses; if anyone is interested in seeing those, please let me know. I
hope that people who provided me with comments would not mind against
this. I have stripped all the names from the responses, just in case.
Best,
Sergey Nizkorodov.
