Driving lasers

I've got a customer asking me for a 1000W RF VHF driver for their laser.

What are cutting lasers like as a load? Are they resistive 50 ohms or complex?

Are there any spectral purity requirements or can you just drive them with the RF from the PA with a bit of harmonics (say -20dbc for H2).

PS: I'll post solution to the flathead screw problem as soon as I get it from my vendor so I can take some photos.

Suggestion: Copy this also to alt.lasers.

I can't help you here, having only driven laser diodes (including some pretty fat ones).
