The CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) is produced in a gas mixture Jose Altuve Jersey , which mostly consists of carbon dioxide (CO2), helium and nitrogen. Such a laser is electrically pumped using an electric discharge. CO2 lasers typically discharge at a wavelength of 10 Those utilized for material processing can generate beams of many kilowatts in power. The wall-plug efficiency of CO2 lasers is about 10%, which is higher than for most lamp-pumped solid-state lasers (eg ND:YAG lasers), but lower than for many diode-pumped lasers . A CO2 laser can c
