Factors Influencing Laser Cutting of Wood

Factors influencing the ability of lasers to cut wood may be generally classified into these three areas: characteristics of the laser beam; equipment and processing variables; and properties of the workpiece. Effects of beam power, mode, polarization, and stability are discussed, as are aspects of optics, location of focal point, feed speed, gas-jet assist system and workpiece thickness, density, and moisture content.
