I would have to question why the Anode current levels are so high even when
the laser was first read after receiving it. Every time that a laser has
been installed at this institution, the starting Anode current has been from
what I have seen since I have been here, around 67.6 mW to 78 mW. When the
laser was noted to be failing was when the Anode voltage reached approx. 90+
mW. So starting at the 90 mW level seems high for a 15mW laser. Am I right?
Or is the upper 80's to 90 a normal starting point?

Also, I was looking through the records here and I came across a spec sheet
for an ILT laser from 1993 and it had the laser listed as a 20 mW laser
output. When did ILT change to the 15mW instead?
