Power Output Anomaly: Line (Vector) vs Engrave (Raster)

Explains the power output anomaly between Fill (Raster) and Line (Vector) layers on DC excited CO2 laser tubes, with test data from a Nova 35-80w.

This article is intended to discuss the power output anomaly between a Fill Layer vs a Line Layer for DC excited tubes.

The laser output power is set from the factory with a min power of 7pct and max power of 70pct. The reason for this is there is a minimum firing threshold and a milliamp (ma) power output limit based of the tube that is installed and the power supply that it is matched with. (this does not affect RF tubes with their power output settings are 1 to 99pct)
