6) Laser Cartridge

The Laser Cartridge is a very sophisticated device. It is composed of a gas filled plasma tube containing
a special mixture of CO2 and other gases, two electrodes, and RF (radio frequency) electronics. The
function of the entire assembly is to turn electrical energy into concentrated light energy. The word
LASER is an acronym for Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
