Hello:

If you want to minimize temperature fluctuations and are using an air-cooled
argon ion laser, vent it elsewhere!  I wish I would have thought of that. 
Someone else mentioned it on the list a while back.

Beware of safety requirements for the Class 4 lasers.  Laser curtains could be
required.

Good luck!
Sophie
