Classification of laser light sources
Solid state laser light source
Using solid substances (such as crystals, glass, etc.) as working materials has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, and high output power.
Gas laser light source
Using gases (such as helium neon, carbon dioxide, etc.) as working materials, it has advantages such as good monochromaticity and good beam quality.
Liquid laser light source
Using liquids (such as organic dye solutions) as working materials has advantages such as tunability and high conversion efficiency.
Semiconductor laser source
Using semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide and indium gallium arsenide as working materials has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, and long lifespan.
The application of laser light sources
Laser cutting, laser welding, laser drilling, laser surgical knife, laser beauty instrument, laser spectral analysis, laser interferometry, laser weapons, laser radar, etc
