WAVELENGTH TUNABLE

The standard method for line selection is to use a reflective grating in the laser cavity as the dispersion element.

Range of wavelength

For CO2 lasers, the line tuning range is from 9.17 µm to 10.8 µm. With special isotope gas fill the wavelength range can be extended to 11.3 µm. The number of lines is over 40 for the lowest power laser, LASY-4G, to over 80 for the highest power model, G-30. Click on the picture below to see a table of typical laser power vs. line spectrum for several tunable lasers.

Auto-tuning, manual tuning or fixed single line

The tuning can be manual or automated with digital tuning. For customers who only need one specific laser line, we offer a fixed single line version of the grating tuned laser with increased stability at a lower cost.

Grating-less line tuning - a low cost, high quality alternative

The interaction between laser cavity longitudinal modes and CO2 molecular spectral lines allows tuning laser lines without a grating. For those who use the laser indoors and are satisfied with limited spectral range this method provides a more economical alternative to the grating tuned lasers. It is also more efficient compared to grating tuned lasers. Click on the picture below to see a typical line spectrum achieved with grating-less line tuning.
