Lasers amplify light by absorbing and radiating energy. The laser radiation is generated by a laser source. For this, concentrated energy is supplied to\u00a0a crystal rod (solid state\u00a0laser) or a special gas mixture (gas laser). This energy can be supplied in the form of light (flash lamps or diode laser) or by electric discharge (comparable to a fluorescent lamp). The crystal rod or the laser active gas is arranged between two mirrors. This generates a light resonator that directs the laser light into a specific direction and amplifies it in this manner. A defined percentage of the laser light is emitted through the partially transmissive mirrors and is available for working the material.\n<h2>Laser beam characteristics<\/h2>\nLaser light can be highly collimated by means of a focus lens. An extremely high energy density is generated in the focus of the laser beam, which can be used for melting or evaporating the material. In addition, using suitable optics (mirrors), laser light can be directed and reflected, and this completely without any\u00a0losses even over large distances. Positioning systems (laser plotters) or galvanometer scanners are used as movement systems. The result is a universal and wear-free tool as the laser beam will never become blunt.\n<h2>Different laser types for different applications<\/h2>\nCommon laser types include &#8220;sealed-off&#8221; gas lasers (CO2 lasers) and fiber lasers. Both operate economically and feature a long service life.\u00a0CO2 lasers are especially suited for laser engraving and laser cutting. Fiber lasers are mainly used for laser marking. In addition, with the Speedy 300 flexx, Trotec is the only laser system manufacturer to offer a product that combines both technologies and thus supports all applications (engraving, cutting and marking) equally effectively.\n\nFor more information see: Laser types\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1036e050 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1036e050\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-783770dc\" data-id=\"783770dc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24a8a65e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24a8a65e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
