Lasers in which the active medium consists of a low-pressure gas of carbon dioxide molecules have been used to produce the most powerful continuous laser beams achieved to date ...

A high-power ytterbium thin-disk laser drives an optical parametric oscillator to generate high-power, stable pulses in the ...

Laser safety is an important topic when discussing use of carbon dioxide lasers due to their high power capabilities. Even a split-second direct exposure to a 200 mW laser emitting 100 yards away can ...
