 Pardon my complete ignorance, but would it be ridiculous to ask where an 
 engineering undergraduate could obtain laser equipment (or plans and 
 parts) for personal experimentation in optics and communications?  

- Haltek in Mountain View, CA has tested 1 mw HeNe tubes for $19.95 .
- They (and Halted Specialties (HSC)) sell power supplies (kits for < $45)
- and other laser related stuff.

You might also try Meredith Intruments, in Glendale, AR. I don't have the
address with me, but they're in information.
They sell surplus and used lasers and laser supplies. Fairly cheap, and
they offer net 30 terms to educational buyers, if you you can order it
through your school somehow. (net 30 means they'll send it out to you
right away, and you can pay for it when you get it, within 30 days.)

I am in no way, shape or form affiliated with Meredith Instruments, except
being a satisfied customer, with several of their products now decorating
my living room.....
