1-3 watts isn't really low-powered - maybe .5 to 10 mW.

Check out the "Amazing Electronics Products" catalog available from the back
of many mags like Pop.  Sci.  It's a sleezy-looking ad but they have lots of
laser stuff (which I've never ordered) including plans for CO2, YAG, Ruby
(AlxOx?), and other lasers.  There are also some books out which give plans
for some of their products by Robert Iannani (mispelled).
