A novel industrial CO2 laser is presented, based on a proprietary combination of rf excitation, conductive cooling, and a specially fitted resonator, conforming with the size and shape of the discharge. This design results in the most compact laser-head of the kilowatt class that is available on the market. The current model, ICCL 1000, generates about 1200 watts, in a high quality beam suitable for metal-cutting applications.
