In a CO₂ laser, a gas mixture is used to generate the laser beam. The required high voltage in the resonator is generated for example by means of semiconductor excitation modules.
The CO₂ technology is suitable for all-rounders, which process different materials and thick sheets. Alumina Systems completed the insulating and high-voltage ceramic laser production tubes. These are metallized by means of a specially developed round printing process. Due to the high precision of the laser tubes made by Alumina Systems, the performance of the laser system could be increased by more than 20%.
