From Universal Laser Systems, Inc.

DLMPT represents the next phase in material modification. It is a non-contact material modification process, which means
that the laser does not need to physically contact an object in order to modify it. This may seem like a minor distinction, but
it delivers major advantages.

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.
