Nd:YAG rod

Look what I bought:
[insert image here]
A used (but looks like new) Nd:YAG rod. At 5 x 76 mm with 1.0% doping it's a pretty powerful rod that should yield a few watts of laser in combination with the right flash lamp. Another nice touch is the AR coating on the heads.
I bought this rod from eBay.
Well, for the moment I can't do anything with it, just admire it's nice pink color :) so that's all the details I can give for now. More later, when I'll have a lamp and mirrors to experiment with.
