Coherent has opened a CO2 laser-applications laboratory in Beijing, China.
The facility will aim to give customers in the materials-processing and microelectronics markets the ability to get quick feedback on the suitability of their specific application for CO2 laser processing.
The Coherent Beijing applications laboratory is currently able to process a variety of laser/material interactions with up to 400W of laser power.
'As we add higher power levels, such as 1kW from our new Diamond E-1000, we'll be able to address an even broader selection of applications,' said Sri Venkat, vice president of the CO2 Business Unit at Coherent.
