CO2 Lasers

Coherent DC Series high-power CO2 lasers offer an unmatched combination of economy and reliability for a variety of

materials processing tasks, including cutting, welding, and surface treatment. Plus, their far infrared output wavelength

makes them compatible with a wide range of materials, including metals, wood, plastics, textiles, paper and carbon fiber

reinforced polymers (CFRPs).

These lasers employ a slab discharge design, which is unique and enables output characteristics superior to that of lasers

based on flow construction. The sealed, slab discharge configuration avoids optics contamination, and eliminates the

complexity, cost, and reliability issues of turbines for gas recirculation. All this means the DC Slab series offers low operating

costs, market-leading reliability, along with long lifetimes of components and the laser itself.
