what can powers up a Co2 laser?

Question

give specific voltage and where you got the info
Please and Ty

Answer 1

Are you asking "what powers a CO2 laser"?

If you are, this is the answer. In the laser cavity is a vessel containing the CO2 gas. An electrical potential energy difference across this gas will excite the CO2 molecules such that they will oscillate and emit certain frequencies of light. This light will induce the emission of photons in neighboring molecules and so on. The voltage across the CO2 depends on the size of the vessel.

Answer 2

CO2 lasers are usually powered by gas discharge ... You'll need a high voltage source. Usually a neon transformer works fine with probably about 20 kV or so. How do I know ?? I built one in college.
