3What is Laser
LASER is the acronym for Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Laser is a device which generates or amplifies light Stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation Coherent, monochromatic, directional and high power laser beam
is used

5Laser Beam Machining
Used light energy from a laser to remove material by vaporization and ablation
Energy is concentrated optically Laser emits either continuous or
pulsed light beam

8Gas Laser
Electric current is discharged through a gas to produce a coherent light
Operate on the principle of converting electric energy into laser light output
Gas acts as pumping medium to attain the necessary population inversion
Common gas laser are CO2 Gas Laser, He-Ne Gas Laser

10Solid State Laser
Constructed by doping a rare earth element into a variety of host materials
Pumped optically by arc lamps or flash lamps Respond well to Q-switching Ruby or Nd:YAG is the most common host material

12Excimer Laser
Uses a combination of an inert gas and reactive gas
Excimer is form of Ultraviolet Chemical Laser
Excimer is short for ‘excited dimer’

13Dye & Semiconductor Laser
Dye Laser use complex organic dyes, such as rhodamine 6G
Semiconductor Laser sometimes called diode lasers very small and use low power.

14Operation: Laser Cutting
Cutting starts by drilling a hole by moving beam
Cutting speed depends on material and thickness
Both pulsed and continuous laser is used Thickness ranges from 0.5-1 inch Used for cutting complex geometry and for
clean cutting operationSource: sciencedirect.com

15Laser Welding
For welding ceramics and dissimilar materials like steel and aluminum
Produces maximum penetration and minimum distortion in materials
Beam can be easily shaped, focused and directed Application
Razor Blade Electronic Circuit

16Laser Cladding
Used to improve surface quality by applying a corrosion resistant layer on product
Laser Beam is used to create a shallow melt pool
Metal powder is supply using an inert gas flow
Application Chemical industry Mining and marine application
