CO₂ LASERS

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) lasers have high power output, precision, and ability to operate at relatively high-power levels in the infrared (IR) region (10.6 µm). The use of CO₂ lasers in defense (ATHENA and LaWS) primarily revolves around directed energy weapons, missile defense systems, and detection systems. CO₂ lasers can be operated in both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed modes, providing higher peak power for specific tasks like material cutting or defense applications.
