CO₂ Lasers

CO₂ lasers are a type of laser that uses carbon dioxide gas to produce a highly focused and powerful beam of infrared light. This laser emits light at a wavelength of about 10.6 micrometers, which is highly absorbed by water and biological tissues. Because of this, CO₂ lasers are commonly used in medical procedures, cutting and engraving materials like plastics, wood, and metals, and in industrial applications. Their precision and ability to deliver intense energy make them effective for delicate surgeries, detailed engraving, and cutting tasks.
