CO laser wavelength of 5 microns

View from the breakdown of optoelectronic devices, CD-ROM to 1.4897 trillion yen (53%), optical input and output devices 846.2 billion yen (30%), optical transmission equipment 244.6 billion yen (9%), light sensor 100 500 000 000 Japan million (4%), laser processing equipment, ￥ 42 billion (2%). View from the breakdown of optoelectronic components, display components, 478.7 billion yen (49%), light-emitting element 1387 yen (including laser, 14%), fiber optic 126.9 billion yen (13%), photosensitive elements (light close to the component) 111.5 billion yen (11%), composite optical element 57.2 billion yen (6%), optical transmission network ￥ 16.3 billion (2%), solar ￥ 15.7 billion (2%). According to the U.S. Optoelectronics Industry Development Association's view, Japan displays, optical storage, optical communications and optoelectronics industry in hard copy form has surpassed the United States and Europe, dominant in the world. From the above figures we can see that Japan's laser processing equipment and medical equipment accounted for a very small proportion. In the early 1980s, laser processing equipment have been Japanese optoelectronics industry output value accounted for 37%, and later as optical storage, optical communication, display, and the rapid development of semiconductor lasers, ten years great changes have taken place. The early eighties, the Japanese industry to actively use laser processing, and gradually expand to welding, brazing. Statistics show that Japan accounted for in today's world of industrial laser equipment 30%, laser processing is the basis of Japan's major manufacturing technologies. The function of this kind of laser pointer is very powerful.
Japan is now used for materials processing power carbon dioxide lasers and Nd: YAG laser, a small amount of excimer lasers have been used, and the new development of gas lasers with wavelength of 10.6 micron carbon dioxide laser, CO laser wavelength of 5 microns, 1.3 microns wavelength of iodine solid-state lasers and diode laser excitation of UV excimer lasers. Now more than carbon dioxide laser power of 500W, and in theory up to 100KW, recent reports have reached 20kW. And its power is bigger, the better, so the Japanese research and development of the carbon dioxide laser to send to expectations. Carbon monoxide laser power industry to create the Institute of Japan jointly developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, 89 years to achieve a continuous four hours 5kW, 7kW short period of oscillation output.
