Which laser unit has articulated joints with mirrors at the bend points and requires that care must be taken not to disrupt the alignment of those mirrors during transport, because that could result in an unpredictable beam trajectory? A) argon B) CO₂ C) krypton D) Nd:YAG

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CO₂ lasers often use articulated arms with mirrors at the joints to direct the laser beam. These mirrors must remain precisely aligned to ensure the beam follows the intended path. Disruption during transport can misalign the mirrors, leading to an unpredictable beam trajectory.
