1988 - 2002. Luxar Corporation is founded by Kathy Laakmann-Crothall and former Xanar laser engineers Paul Diaz, Michael Levy et. al. in Seattle, WA, USA in 1988. Prior to founding Luxar Corporation, many of the company`s key technical personnel had also taken part in developing the highly popular line of Xanar CO₂ medical lasers, which later became Coherent Medical`s (and now Lumenis`s) line of UltraPulse CO₂ medical lasers. The all-time best-selling surgical laser was invented and designed in the USA by the Luxar Corporation in the late 1980s. Luxar lasers employ a flexible waveguide beam delivery system and are powered by an all-metal laser tube. Luxar lasers outperform their articulated arm rivals and become the most popular CO₂ lasers ever sold with over 12,000 customers world-wide. In the late 1990s, Luxar Corporation is sold to ESC Medical Systems and then becomes a part of Lumenis Inc. in 2001 as a result of the ESC and Coherent Medical merger. During Lumenis` post-merger reorganization, all Luxar product lines are moved out of Seattle, WA to overseas locations: medical laser manufacturing moves to Lumenis, Yokneam, Israel and industrial laser manufacturing has moves to Spectron Lasers in Rugby, England.

1970 - 1980s. All-metal RF-excited CO₂ lasers (US Pat 4,169,251) and flexible waveguides for CO₂ lasers (US Pat 4,652,083) are invented in the USA in the 1970s-1980s by Kathy Laakmann-Crothall. A crucial component in the success of Luxar surgical CO₂ lasers is the all-metal flexible waveguide beam delivery technology, invented in the USA by Michael Levy (US Pat 4,913,505).

1960 - 1970s. Early surgical CO₂ lasers are pioneered in the USA by Xanar, Sharplan and Coherent and use articulated arms before the invention of the flexible waveguide.

1950 - 1960s. Lasers are concurrently invented in the USSR in the 1950s by Alexander Prokhorov and Nikolay Basov, and in the USA by Charles Townes, Arthur Schawlow, Gordon Gould and Theodore Maiman. The CO₂ laser is invented in the USA in 1964 by Kumar Patel.
