PL6 CO2 Laser
Description
The highest power tunable CO2 laser currently available is the model PL6, offering single line power up to 180W and more than 90 lines across 9μm to 11μm. The flowing gas laser head is a single U-folded design with twin discharge tubes. The laser resonator is passively stabilized with a 5bar invar support frame which is decoupled from the laser base by orthogonal Rose bearings.
Cavity optics comprise of a gold coated diffraction grating and piezo mounted output coupler. Within the cavity, two high reflectivity folding mirrors reflect the beam internally and two ZnSe Brewster windows are used to seal the discharge tubes. The PL6 is driven by the LPS2000 dual output power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PL2-M is a new, compact version of the previous model PL2. It has been significantly reduced in size without sacrificing any of the performance specifications. The PL2-M has a maximum rated power of 10W and the PL2-S has a maximum rated power of 1W on the strongest lines and more than 60 lines are available.
The highest power tunable CO2 laser currently available is the PL6 model, offering single line power up to 180W and more than 90 lines across 9μm to 11μm.
The PL series of continuous wave (CW), grating tuned, infrared gas lasers sets the standard for high power, stable sources for a wide variety of applications from molecular spectroscopy, non-linear optics, interferometry, process control, atmospheric studies, plasma density measurements and much, much more.
The PL3 model is unprecedented in today’s market. It operates as either a CO2 (output power up to 25W) or CO (with output >1W over the range 5.1 – 6.0 μm) laser. Using different isotopic gas fills the PL3 laser can give up to 1,000 lines across the infrared.
The PL-series of lasers include grating tuned CO2 lasers with a step tunable wavelength from 9μm – 11μm with single line powers from a few Watts (Model PL2), to 50W (Model PL5) and even to 180W (Model PL6).
