High-Power RF CO₂ Laser for Production Lines
I. Product Overview
The High-Power RF CO₂ Laser for production lines is a high-performance laser device designed for industrial processing. It uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas as the working medium and generates laser beams through radio frequency (RF) excitation, offering high power, high stability, and long service life. Widely used in material processing, cutting, welding, and marking, this laser is particularly suitable for working with both metallic and non-metallic materials.
II. Working Principle
The working principle of the CO₂ laser is based on the transition between vibrational and rotational energy levels of molecules. When high-voltage current passes through the gas mixture, the gas molecules are excited to higher energy states, causing ionization and discharge. CO₂ molecules have their electrons excited to higher energy levels, which then rapidly transition back to lower levels, releasing energy and producing laser beams with a specific wavelength of 10.6 micrometers. This beam is amplified through the resonator’s reflection and focusing, ultimately forming a high-power, high-quality laser output.
