LaserEinheit
A Lasereinheit is a modular assembly that generates and emits a coherent laser beam. It typically combines a laser source (such as a diode, solid-state, or fiber laser), an optical resonator or cavity, cooling and power electronics, beam shaping and delivery optics, and safety interlocks with control interfaces. The unit is designed to be integrated into larger systems, machines, or tools and can be tailored to specific wavelengths, power levels, and beam characteristics.
Common variants include diode laser units, solid-state laser units, fiber laser units, and CO2 laser units. Each
Operation and performance depend on precise control of electrical drive, temperature, and optical alignment. Modern units
Applications of Lasereinheiten span multiple sectors. In manufacturing, they enable cutting, welding, engraving, marking, and additive
Etymology and usage notes: the term reflects German-language use for a self-contained laser module and is often
