How Digital Laser Material Processing Works: Cutting, Marking, Engraving, and Photo Imaging

From Universal Laser Systems, Inc.

The laser was once described as a solution without a problem. Now, lasers are everywhere: CD players, range-finding systems, and bar-code readers all rely on lasers to serve their function. As you may expect, Digital Laser Material Processing Technology (DLMPT), also relies on lasers. But the lasers used for DLMPT are some of the most versatile available.

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.
