Clean Optics:Just Two Easy Steps

From Trotec Laser, Inc.

Clean optics are a basic requirement for perfect cutting and engraving results. The engraving of certain materials like wood or rubber stamp cause more dust than processing other materials. Depending on the application, you should clean the optics at regular intervals. This maintains the lifetime of your laser and ensures consistent high engraving quality.

Lasers
Lasers are devices that produce intense beams of monochromatic, coherent radiation. The word "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Lasers
Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers use the energy-state transitions between vibrational and rotational states of CO2 molecules to emit at long IR, about 10 µm, wavelengths. These lasers can maintain continuous and very high levels of power and are typically used in cutting, welding, etching, and marking applications.
