Light Sources
What are you looking for in Light Sources?  

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Lasers (45 companies)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers use the energy-state transitions between vibrational and rotational states of CO2 molecules to emit at long IR, about 10 µm, wavelengths. These lasers can maintain continuous and very high levels of power and are typically used in cutting, welding, etching, and marking applications.
