Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
CO2 Laser A CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser is a type of gas laser that uses carbon dioxide gas as the active medium to produce a highly focused infrared beam of light. In laser engraving and cutting applications, CO2 lasers are widely used due to their versatility, efficiency, and ability to process a variety of materials, including wood, acrylic, plastic, paper, fabric, and certain metals.
CO2 lasers operate by exciting CO2 gas molecules with electrical energy, resulting in the emission of laser light at a specific wavelength (usually around 10.6 micrometers). This emitted laser light can be precisely controlled and manipulated to perform cutting, engraving, marking, and other material processing tasks with high accuracy and speed. |
