Whois & Analysis for troteclaser.com

Trotec Laser is an international manufacturer of advanced laser technology for laser cutting, laser engraving and laser marking.

The company was founded in 1997, branching off from a research and development department within its parent company Trodat.

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.

The term "laser" originated as an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation".

The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore H.

Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles Hard Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow.

A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light coherently.

Spatial coherence allows a laser to be focused to a tight spot, enabling applications such as laser cutting and lithography.

Spatial coherence also allows a laser beam to stay narrow over great distances (collimation), enabling applications such as laser pointers.

Lasers can also have high temporal coherence, which allows them to emit light with a very narrow spectrum, i.e., they can emit a single color of light.

Temporal coherence can be used to produce pulses of light as short as a femtosecond.

Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it.

The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold, steel, or glass are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations; these images are also called engravings.

Wood engraving is a form of relief printing and is not covered in this article.

High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used in tool bits and cutting tools.
