Laser technology

Lasers are devices that can generate coherent light with high intensity. This light can be used for cutting, welding, engraving, marking, and material processing. Laser technology is utilized in various fields such as medicine, industry, research, and development.

A laser consists of a laser medium, a pump, a resonator, and a lens. The laser medium is the material that generates the laser radiation, it can be a solid, gas, liquid, or plasma. The pump provides the energy that excites the laser medium into oscillation, which can be a chemical reaction, an electrical discharge, or another laser. A resonator produces the laser beam, comprised of two mirrors between which the laser beam is reflected back and forth. The lens focuses the laser beam onto a small point, allowing for precise utilization.

There are various laser technologies including CO2 lasers, fiber lasers, and diode lasers. The selection of the most suitable laser technology for a specific application depends on factors like the material being processed, required accuracy, and desired speed. These factors categorize the types of lasers and determine their distinct characteristics and applications.

Laser technology provides high precision, high speed, contactless processing, clean, and non-thermal methods for various applications.
