What is a Laser Doing – Fiber Laser Marking Machine
what exactly a laser is and how it works
“Laser” is actually an acronym that stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Throughout the years, the laser has become one of the most powerful manufacturing tools a company can use.
In order to create a laser, you raise the energy level of the atoms to an excited state, which enables them to release light as they fall back to their original energy, or ground state.
What is a Laser Doing?
If we look back at the second word in the acronym, amplification, we will gain a better understanding of what a laser does. Once this beam of light is created, it is amplified in some way to produce a focal point.
As the atoms begin to move, they create a weak light, and as more and more energy is added, the light waves become even more concentrated. Unlike with other types of light (such as a flashlight), the light rays of lasers all have the same wavelength and are coherent, which is what makes it such a powerful concentration of energy.
Who Uses Lasers?
The laser is one of the most versatile modern inventions. Lasers are used in almost every industry, including:
- Automotive
- Industrial & Tooling
- Electronics
- Medical
- Military & Defense
- Aerospace
- Oil & Gas and much more
Each industry has its own uses for lasers. In the manufacturing industry, for example, lasers are used in a variety of everyday tasks, such as welding, cutting, cleaning, measuring, drilling and sensing, as well as marking, etching and engraving.
Why Does Your Business Need Laser Marking, Laser Etching and Laser Engraving?
Whether you work in the automotive and aerospace industries or the medical device industry, you understand the importance of part identification. For each division of manufacturing, there are laws and regulations put in place regarding identification to reduce error and ensure part safety.
