CO2 lasers

JSC “Research Institute of Gas Discharge Devices “PLASMA”” manufactures a wide range of gas-discharge molecular lasers based on carbon dioxide.

CO2 lasers are really outstanding devices among gas-discharge lasers.
Maximum efficiency of conversion of electrical energy to laser radiation energy permits to achieve 20 kW of output power in CW operation and a pulse energy up to 100 kJ.
CO2 lasers are referred to a class of molecular gas lasers emitting on vibrational transitions of CO2 molecules in the IR regions of spectrum at 9-10 um. As a rule , all lasers operate on a mixture of CO2:N2:He in different proportions with an addition of a small quantity of Xe.
The full spectrum of vibrational-rotational transitions of a CO2 molecule provides a possibility of a discrete and continuous tuning of a frequency (wavelength) which makes a CO2 laser an indispensable tool for use in photochemistry, in environmental monitoring systems and IR detection systems. The range of stimulated emission is considerably increased due to use of the so called “hot” sequential transitions. A CO2 laser features unique spatial characteristics: a high directivity and homogeneity. The existing technological support of production of industrial prototypes of CO2 lasers ensures their long (more than 10 000 hours) stable sealed-off off-line operation. This results in a significant improvement in technical characteristics of devices and systems using CO2 lasers, such as engraving and decorating machines, printing equipment, surgical apparatus. An excellent quality of the beam makes sealed-off CO2 lasers of relatively low power (50-100 W) extremely effective for use in mechanical processing of metal and non-metal materials (drilling, milling, scribing) and in welding of different materials.

The offered lasers feature a high quality, long life-time and moderate price.
