Abstract

New fast axial flow CO₂-laser systems excited by rf-discharge with outputs of 1000W and 1500W, respectively are presented. The power can be pulsed up to 10 kHz and average power is changeable continously between zero and maximum. The very stable behaviour of the laser beam permits constant working conditions which is shown in connection with an 5-axis machine.
