A method of controlling a gas mixture for a laser includes receiving as an input one or more of a plurality of concentration values. Each of the concentration values respectively corresponds to a constituent of a plurality of constituents of air. In the method, a blend of the plurality of constituents of air is generated based on the received one or more of the concentration values. The method also includes determining whether the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is within a threshold range for a ratio of the concentration values for the plurality of constituents of air. A flow of the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is controlled to be routed through an output circuit for use as the gas mixture for the laser following a determination that the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is within the threshold range.
