Synrad offers lasers at 9.3µm

MUKILTEO, Washington, October 25, 2007 – Certain applications may experience improved efficiency at wavelengths other than the standard 10.6µm wavelength. For instance, many organic and semi-organic materials have higher absorption in the 9µm band.

For these applications, Synrad offers several lasers in 9.3µm wavelength versions.

The 9.3µm wavelength is useful for processing materials that are highly absorptive of this wavelength, such as Kapton, PET, and others.

Although, in many cases the material could be processed using a standard 10.6µm CO2 laser, choosing a laser with a wavelength that is better absorbed by the material reduces the required processing time and therefore, the thermal impact of the laser. Not only are faster processing times achieved, but the quality of the cut or hole can be greatly improved.
