Description:
The company is commercializing the unique enabling high power supersonic CO laser technology (average power > 300 kW; wall-plug efficiency > 25%; lasing spectrum 2.6 – 8 µ; high spectral line selection efficiency).
The potential industrial applications are numerous, including:
•nanosize powders mass production for a wide range of elements/compounds
•fullerenes and single-wall carbon nanotubes mass production
•isotopically pure elements (Si, C, O, etc.) mass production
•large surfaces machining and rehabilitation through deep heat treatment
•coating/de-coating or cladding/de-cladding of large surfaces
•cutting and welding of very thick metal parts (over 300 mm thick)
•laser propulsion, near-space orbit debris removal, etc.
