This technique is known as the stimulated emission. When incident photon interacts with the excited electron, it forces the excited electron to return to the ground state. This excited electron release energy in the form of light while falling to the ground state. In stimulated emission, two photons are emitted (one additional photon is emitted ...
Fig.1 Laser processing schematic diagram. As advanced manufacturing technology, laser processing technology has been widely used in automobile, electronics, electronics, aviation, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing etc. It plays an increasingly important role in improving product quality, labor productivity, automation, reducing pollution and material consumption.
Laser processing systems rely on high-precision motion control systems to process workpieces with a high degrees of accuracy. OEM-focused product offerings and support, advanced profile generation and servo control algorithms, and sophisticated laser control and user interface software differentiate ACS from other motion controller and drive suppliers in the market.
1960s. The first CO 2 laser, developed in 1964, had a power output of only one milliwatt. By 1967, CO 2 lasers with power exceeding 1,000 watts were possible. The first commercial application of Laser Materials Processing was in May of 1967 when Peter Houldcroft of TWI (The Welding Institute) in Cambridge, England used an oxygen-assisted CO 2 laser beam to cut through a sheet of steel 1 mm thick.
This projector cures a photopolymer resin, one layer at a time, curing the selected areas to be solidified according to the 3D printer model and leaving the surrounding areas uncured. Once one layer has been completed, the part is pulled up by one layer height (e.g. 50 microns) and the process repeats again. The Digital Light Processing (DLP ...
Temporal coherence is a different issue, and it has completely different origins. Some laser gain media can emit light only in a narrow spectral range. However, even if that is not the case, a laser often (particularly in continuous-wave operation) emits light only at a precisely defined wavelength or frequency, because the conditions are such that a net zero round-trip gain is possible only ...

Lasers evolved from masers, which are similar but produce microwaves and radio waves instead of visible light. Masers were invented in the 1950s by Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow, both of whom went on to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work (Townes in 1964 and Schawlow in 1981).

Laser technology basics. All lasers consist of three components: An external pump source. The active laser medium. The resonator. The pump source guides external energy to the laser. The active laser medium is located on the inside of the laser. Depending on the design, the laser medium can consist of a gas mixture ( CO 2 laser ), of a crystal ...
The CO 2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) is generated in a gas mixture, which mostly consists of carbon dioxide (CO 2), helium and nitrogen. Such a laser is electrically pumped using an electric discharge. CO 2 lasers typically emit at a wavelength of 10.6μm. Those used for material processing can generate beams of many kilowatts in power.

Most laser applications fall into one of a few broad categories: (1) transmission and processing of information, (2) precise delivery of energy, and (3) alignment, measurement, and imaging. These categories cover diverse applications, from pinpoint energy delivery for delicate surgery to heavy-duty welding and from the mundane alignment of ...

Complete removal and separation of a material from the top surface to the bottom surface along a designated path. Laser Drilling. Removal of material by applying focused laser energy to a material without moving the laser beam during the process. Laser Engraving/Etching. Removal of material from the top surface down to a specified depth.
The laser removes small dots of material, up to 1200 dots per inch. This means that it is able to cut extremely accurate shapes and produce astonishingly detailed etchings. The laser cutter is similar to an ink jet printer. The printer sprays ink onto the paper in a series of dots that make up a picture or text.
24.5 Conclusion. Laser processing has a wide application range from micro/nano fabrication techniques to surface treatment, structuring, modification, and controlled surface plastic deformation. As the laser matter interaction is a complex phenomenon, the advancements in laser processing applications require accurate mathematical models to ...

Together, these characteristics enable the CO laser to deliver superior results in some glass processing, film cutting, and ceramic scribing applications. Another important technology is the fiber laser, which can be operated in CW, Q-switched, and mode-locked formats and typically emits at about 1 μm (when the fiber is ytterbium-doped).
