We have issues with our Pump Laser (Spectra Physics - Quanta Ray Pro). After the service made on mid Dezember (2021) the laser does not get started. After contacting the service many times, the technicians think it can be an issue with the flashlamps.

- Flashlamps installed technician on 15.12.2021: FAILED.
- Flashlamps installed by Rodolfo on 21.01.2022: FAILED.
- Flashlamps installed by Rodolfo on 08.02.2022: WORK, however

the power is dropping extremelly fast. The measured power on 08.02.2022 was 21.6 W. On 01.03.2022 we measured 17,8 W (for 2.7 Millon shots). The flashlamps should stand 30 Millon shots without losing too much power.
