Despite its name the gas chamber of a co2 laser is actually filled with equal parts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen with smaller percentages of helium hydrogen and xenon.
Co2 laser beam.
The active laser medium of a co2 laser is a discharge tube filled with gases.
The ratio of output power to pump power can be as large as 20.
In short a photonic laser beam is generated when co2 gases inside a sealed tube are excited by electrical energy.
Carbon dioxide lasers are the highest power continuous wave lasers that are currently available.
They are also quite efficient.
Laser machines include gw weike and others.
Works for laser machines including co2 lasers engravers and cutters with mirror mounts manufactured in china.
Alignment shouldn t be a task that you avoid it gets easier with repetition.
Good beam alignment reduces the overall cost of fabricated parts.
The visualization tool shows the raw co2 laser beam for co2 lasers 8 11 microns with at least 40 watts of power available illuminate the tool.
The co 2 laser produces a beam of infrared light with the principal wavelength bands centering on 9 6 and 10 6 micrometers μm.
The original version can be found here co2 laser engraver beam alignment laser beam alignment can be a daunting task but it shouldn t have to be.
First time users find it overwhelming and often give up and accept unsatisfactory alignment.
