What 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

Laser 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

Gas 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

Solid 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

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

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

Operation: 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

Laser 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

Laser 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 Source: Wikipedia
