A CO2 laser works by running electricity through gas to produce light. The beam of light produced is emitted through a transparent mirror. It is one of the most powerful lasers in production.

How does a laser cutter work?

Lasers used for cutting are rarely found outside of industrial use, as they are extremely dangerous and very large. Laser cutting is done by CO2 lasers or neodymium lasers. CO2 lasers function by energizing a gas mixture of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and helium. Neodymium lasers function in the same way as CO2 lasers, except instead of using gas as the medium, they use a crystal with small amounts of neodymium in it.
