Hi folks!
My laser machine has started to give out much lesser power as it used to. I'm using my 2nd tube this year and it really hasn't been used that much. I've started by cleaning all mirrors and lens, when I noticed that the tube is getting residue on it from outside. What's weird is that the most residue is anode side and it has less residue towards cathode and no residue at all at the very end.
Here is an image how it looks

Just wandering if this is normal, if not then what can I do to revent this from happening?
