The text from the electronic goldmine  ad:

This laser rod was made for the  military for use in a laser rangefinder. It 
is an Erbium doped laser rod for use  in a flashlamp pumped laser. The ends 
are polished and AR coated, however they  may have tiny scratches or chips in 
them so we are selling the rod "AS IS" only.  The size is 50mm (long) x 3mm 
(diameter). Pale green is color. This rod is great  for experimentation or 
classroom study. Very rare - these cost the government a  fortune. Sorry, no data, 
specs, or manufacturer name available. 

Note: We  can not export this rod out of the United States. No exceptions.

Hurry,  limited supply! G15397
