Pulsed CO₂ lasers feature a rise/fall time of 50 μs or less

Kern Technologies LLC has introduced the LightWave line of CO₂ lasers. The sealed, compact lasers are available in powers of 100, 150, and 200 W. The pulsed lasers feature a rise/fall time of 50 μs or less.

A circular polarizer, collimator, and red-beam are integrated into the design, eliminating the need for external beam-conditioning optics.
