Abstract
The gas mixture leaving the laser apparatus (1) is recycled to a permeator (45) which separates it into two flows. The discharge from the permeator is expanded in an expansion turbine (27) coupled to a compressor (35) for exerting suction on the recycled mixture, which makes it possible to obtain the desired reduced pressure in the laser apparatus. Applications to power laser apparatuses with nitrogen/carbon dioxide mixture, intended for cutting materials.
