Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is a gas laser that uses CO2 gas as the working substance. Its working principle is to excite the energy level transition of CO2 molecules through gas discharge, causing molecular vibration and rotation, thereby generating a high-power, specific wavelength laser beam.

CO2 lasers have high efficiency, with a commercial model conversion efficiency of up to 10%, making them widely used in fields such as laser cutting, welding, drilling, and surface treatment. Meanwhile, it has also been widely used in fields such as healthcare, military, and environmental measurement.
