Laser

LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

The physical principle described in this statement is generation of a light beam with very particular characteristics. A laser beam is in fact monochromatic, coherent, unidirectional and collimated, these characteristics allow it to become an irreplaceable tool in industrial production, scientific research, telecommunications or medicine.

LASER is a physical principle and not a technology, there are wide range of lasers, the active medium determines the laser wavelength and consequently the interaction with any materials. Each type of laser is the optimal choice for a specific application or for use on a specific material.

CO2 Laser Sources Types, differences and applications

From the very first use of a CO2 laser in an industrial materials processing application, engineers have worked to improve performance, reduce size and operating costs, and increase the reliability and efficiency of these lasers. Developments included radio frequency and direct current excitation, new sealed plasma tubes and improvements in gas laser pumping.

Laser Micro Drilling and Micro Perforation: Techniques and Applications

One of the most industrialized applications in the field of laser technology is microperforation or Microdrilling. It's not something that is noticeable, but many of the objects we routinely use are micro-perforated to make our life a little easier.

What can lasers do with composite fibers? Cutting, Marking and Drilling

Composites are materials created in the laboratory to obtain a product with superior properties. Most of these called "composite fibers" can be processed with the laser to perform operations such as cutting, marking and drilling.
