1. Executive Snapshot In 2023, Gravity Zone FEC (Chicago, IL) swapped six static-beam laser tunnels for our programmable diode system.
   • Monthly laser revenue ↑ 47 % (US $8 400 → $12 350)
   • Average throughput ↑ 60 % (25 → 40 players/hr)
   • Payback period: 9.4 months
2. Diode vs HeNe: Cost & Lifespan Math | Metric | Diode 635 nm | HeNe 632 nm | |—————–|————–|————-| | Initial Cost | US $1 750 | US $4 200 | | Power Draw | 15 W | 35 W | | Tube Lifespan | 25 000 h | 8 000 h | | Annual Replace | 0 | 1 tube | | 3-yr TCO | US $2 050 | US $5 800 |

3. Safety & Code (IEC 60825-1) • Class 3R diodes (<5 mW) with fail-safe photodiode grid.
   • Beam interlock drops power to <0.5 mW in <50 ms if breached.
