4.1. INTRODUCTION

4.1.1. THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE LASER

The generation of laser light is the phenomenon of the stimulated emission of light. LASER is the
acronym of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Stimulated emission of light is a
phenomenon in which atoms are excited by photons (light corpuscles) to emit photons, which in turn
amplify light continuously by the electron avalanche effect that excites other atoms. In order to excite
these atoms, external energy suitable for amplification of stimulated emission of light is required.

4.1.2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The LM-C300 Laser Marker is a fast and reliable system capable of marking barcodes, logos and variable
information to a wide range of product in a production line.
There are three laser emission wavelength: 9.3, 10.2 and 10.6 microns.
They corresponds to the infrared zone of the spectrum, which means that the laser emission is invisible.
The objective is to send this emission to the surface to be marked, so that it makes marking possible.
