Laser excitation and control Over the last 30 years lasers have moved from the laboratory to the workplace. Our triodes and tetrodes are used in the power supplies of industrial CO2 lasers, either to control or pulse the HV DC supply (DC excitation) or to generate RF power (RF excitation). In DC excitation, the laser gas is excited by a high DC voltage, controlled by a suitable vacuum tube, capable of working at voltages of up to 35kV. In RF excitation, the laser gas is excited by an RF field generated by a suitable amplifier or oscillator system, using a triode or tetrode. In both cases, electricity is converted to a very small and powerful beam of light, able to deliver a large amount of energy over a very small area. Industrial laser systems (particularly using medium and high power CO2 lasers) have replaced many traditional machine tools for punching, drilling and milling. They are also used for welding and material processing (surface hardening for example). We make a range of devices used in DC and RF excited laser power supplies.
