Abstract

The carbon dioxide laser (CO₂ laser) is one of the most useful and is the highest CW laser at the present. The laser produces infrared light at 10.6 um. Due to its high power, CO₂ lasers are usually used in industrial applications such as cutting and welding, or for engraving at less power. CO₂ lasers are also used widely in medical applications, such as laser surgery, skin resurfacing, and removing mold, due to water (biological tissue) absorb light at this wavelength very well. CO₂ lasers are also used as LIDAR laser source for military range finding applications because of the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light. Due to the increasing use of CO₂ lasers laser in industrial and medical applications in Thailand, the National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) has set up a CO₂ laser power calibration system and provide calibration service to customers this year. The service support calibration of medium-level laser power at wavelength of 10.6 um and at power range 100 mW-10W. The design and development of the calibration system will be presented.
