What is the principle of carbon dioxide laser cutting machine?

The principle of carbon dioxide laser cutting machine is to use the vibration of carbon dioxide molecules and the transition between rotating energy levels to produce laser.

The discharge tube of carbon oxide laser is filled with mixed gases such as carbon oxide, whose ratio and total pressure can vary in a certain range.

Any molecule has three different forms of motion:

First, the motion of electrons in a molecule determines their energy states.

The second is the vibration of atoms in the molecule, that is, atoms vibrate periodically around their equilibrium position, which determines that the vibration energy of the molecule is too high.

Third, the rotation of the molecule determines the rotational energy state of the molecule.

The CARBON dioxide laser cutter uses vibrations and transitions between rotating energy levels of carbon dioxide molecules to generate lasers.
