2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.

3. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

   Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. Laser marking, on the other hand, is a broader category of methods to leave marks on an object, which in some cases, also includes color change due to chemical/molecular alteration, charring, foaming, melting, ablation, and more. [1] The technique does not involve the use of ...

4. Nd:YAG laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nd:YAG_laser

   Nd:YAG laser with lid open showing frequency-doubled 532 nm green light. Nd:YAG laser rod. Nd:YAG ( neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant, neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd (III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in ...

   The laser diode chip is the small black chip at the front; a photodiode at the back is used to control output power. SEM ( scanning electron microscope) image of a commercial laser diode with its case and window cut away. The anode connection on the right has been accidentally broken by the case cut process. A laser diode ( LD, also injection ...

6. Carbon-dioxide laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-dioxide_laser

   The carbon-dioxide laser ( CO2 laser) was one of the earliest gas lasers to be developed. It was invented by Kumar Patel of Bell Labs in 1964 [ 1] and is still one of the most useful types of laser. Carbon-dioxide lasers are the highest-power continuous-wave lasers that are currently available. They are also quite efficient: the ratio of output ...
