At the upcoming LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA exhibition in Shanghai, Luxinar will showcase its range of sealed CO2 laser sources:
- New SR x series of sealed CO 2 laser sources with high average power for high-speed applications. Luxinar is displaying the new SR 10x from its SR x 9.3µm series of sealed CO 2 laser sources, a higher average power version of the company’s established SR i series, which is ideal for high-speed applications. The range consists of SR 10x, with up to 105W average output power and 235W peak output power, SR 15x, with up to 150W average output power and 335W peak output power and the SR 25x, with up to 210W average output power and 465W peak output power.
- SR AOM sealed CO 2 laser sources with acousto-optic modulator improve edge quality in high-precision thin film cutting applications. Luxinar will also showcase the SR 10 AOM tailored to address a wide range of high-precision applications that demand minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ), such as multilayer thin film cutting for the display market and high-resolution/speed marking. The range includes SR 10 AOM and SR 25 AOM, both available at a wavelength of 9.3µm and with rated powers of 150W for the SR 25 AOM and 75W for the SR 10 AOM. The integrated acousto-optic modulator (AOM) creates optical rise and fall times of less than 1µs which minimises unnecessary heat energy during processing compared with typical pulse rise/fall times of approximately 60µs; this creates a sharper cut with a reduced HAZ.
