Carbon Dioxide Lasers
|
|
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.
|
| |
Dye Lasers
|
|
Dye lasers use a dye solution as an active medium. Their output is a short pulse of broad spectrum content with a high achievable gain.
|
| |
Excimer Lasers
|
|
Excimer lasers are rare-gas halide or rare-gas metal vapor lasers that produce relatively wide beams of ultraviolet laser light. They operate via the electronic transitions of molecules.
|
| |
Fiber Lasers
|
|
Fiber lasers use optical fibers doped with low levels of rare-earth halides as the lasing medium to amplify light.
|
| |
Helium Cadmium Lasers
|
|
Helium Cadmium (HeCd) lasers are relatively economical, continuous-wave sources for violet (442 nm) and ultraviolet (325 nm) output. They are used for 3-D stereolithography applications, as well as for exposing holographs.
|
| |
Helium Neon Lasers
|
|
Helium neon (HeNe) lasers have an emission that is determined by neon atoms by virtue of a resonant transfer of excitation of helium. They operate continuously in the red, infrared and far-infrared regions and emit highly monochromatic radiation.
|
| |
Ion Lasers
|
|
Ion lasers function by stimulating the emission of radiation between two levels of an ionized gas. They provide moderate to high continuous-wave output of typically 1 mW to 10 W.
|
| |
Laser Diodes
|
|
Laser diodes use light-emitting diodes to produce stimulated emissions in the form of coherent light output. They are also known as diode lasers.
|
| |
Laser Diode Modules
|
|
Laser diode modules use light-emitting diodes to produce stimulated emissions in the form of coherent light output and include integrated beam optics and electrical systems.
|
| |
Laser Pointers
|
|
Laser pointers are compact instruments that produce a low-power, visible laser light. They are often used for pointing out features on a projected visual display.
|
| |
Nitrogen Lasers
|
|
Nitrogen lasers are an excellent source of high intensity, short pulse, ultraviolet radiation. They can be used as an excitation source, or as a pump for a dye laser.
|
| |
Solid State Lasers
|
|
Solid state lasers use a transparent substance (crystalline or glass) as the active medium, doped to provide the energy states necessary for lasing. Solid state lasers are used in both low and high power applications.

Q-Switched
|
|
A device used to rapidly change the Q of an optical resonator.

When the switch rapidly increases the Q of the cavity, a giant pulse is generated.

|
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), a part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has a laser safety classification scheme.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Class I
|
|
Class I lasers are not hazardous for continuous viewing, or are designed to prevent human access to laser radiation. Class I lasers include both low-power lasers and embedded, high-powered lasers. Applications include laser printers.
|
| |
Class II
|
|
Class II lasers emit visible light which, because of the normal human aversion response, does not normally present a hazard. If viewed directly for extended periods of time, however, Class II lasers can cause eye injuries.
|
| |
Class IIa
|
|
Class IIa lasers emit visible light that is not intended for viewing, and that under normal operating conditions will not injure the eye if viewed for less than 1000 seconds. Barcode scanners use Class IIa lasers.
|
| |
Class IIIa
|
|
Class IIIa lasers will not normally injure the eye if viewed momentarily, but present a hazard if viewed using collecting optics.
|
| |
Class IIIb
|
|
Class IIIb lasers present an eye and skin hazard if viewed directly. This includes both intrabeam viewing and specular reflections. Class IIIb lasers do not produce a hazardous diffuse reflection except when viewed at close proximity.
|
| |
Class IV
|
|
Class IV lasers present an eye hazard from direct, specular and diffuse reflections. In addition, they may pose a fire hazard and burn skin.
