What are the main classifications of laser sensors? The following laser sensor manufacturers will take you to find out.

The laser sensor can be divided into 4 types according to the working substance.
1. Solid-state laser: Its working material is solid. The laser sensor manufacturer tells you that there are commonly used ruby ​​lasers, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers (ie YAG lasers) and neodymium glass lasers. Their structure is roughly the same, and they are characterized by small but strong and high power. Neodymium glass laser is the device with the highest pulse output power, which has reached tens of megawatts.
2. Gas laser: Its working substance is gas. There are various lasers for gas atoms, ions, metal vapors, and gas molecules. Commonly used carbon dioxide lasers, helium-neon lasers and carbon monoxide lasers are shaped like ordinary discharge tubes. The laser sensor manufacturer tells you that the characteristics are stable output, good monochromaticity, long life, but low power and low conversion efficiency.
3. Liquid laser: It can be divided into chelate laser, inorganic liquid laser and organic dye laser. The most important one is organic dye laser. The manufacturer of laser sensor tells you that its biggest feature is continuously adjustable wavelength.
4. Semiconductor laser: It is a relatively young laser, and the more mature one is gallium arsenide laser. It is characterized by high efficiency, small size, light weight, simple structure, and is suitable for airplanes. The laser sensor manufacturer tells you that it can be made into rangefinders and sights. However, the output power is small, the directivity is poor, and it is greatly affected by the ambient temperature.
The above is the main classification of laser sensor, I hope it will be helpful to you.
