Coherent's DIAMOND C-Series sealed CO2 lasers are the best power–size ratio available in the market, based on a waveguide design assembled in an integrated package. The RF driver is mounted in the same housing as the laser head, resulting in a compact, robust system that can operate in the most demanding environments.

The entire C-Series offers excellent power stability, a great mode and fast rise and fall times in a very compact size. Overall, the C-Series low-power CO2 lasers deliver exceptional value, performance and reliability.

Delivering either 55W or 70W output at 10.6 microns, both the C-55 and the C-70 are available as either air-cooled or water-cooled units, and both have the same dimensions. The C-70 is available in both elliptical and circular beam versions.

Height and width is the same on the C-20, C-30 and C-40, which simplifies integration design of the complete Coherent CW product series.

Key applications for these lasers are laser marking (i.e. of beverages), laser engraving and laser sintering. In addition these lasers are used in laser converting applications like laser scoring of flexible packages and medical applications.
