I'm pretty sure you mean nitrogen gas, not liquid. The LN2 will expand
980times it's original volume when brought to room temperature. If the
extreme cold doesn't shatter your lenses and mirrors (and forms a layer
of ice on top), this expansion will!

Sorry, Sam, yes liquid N2 would not be a satisfactory lazing medium.
I meant that it would be a reasonable source of nitrogen which could
continuously replenish the lazing chamber by evaporation. Yes compressed
gas bottles would work similarly. the problem is the cost of regulators.
