The first medical application of lasers was reported by Goldman in 1962. In cardiovascular surgery, McGuff first used a Ruby laser in 1963 for the experimental ablation of atherosclerotic plaques. After a ...

Since the first demonstration of the laser in 1960, people have endeavored to make lasers more compact. Semiconductor lasers achieved this desired compactness employing so called heterostructures. This ...

LASERs (or Light Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) are among the most widely available and versatile optical tools today.  A variety of lasers are commonly used in household devices, such as ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University look to optimize the performance of passively Q-switched lasers by confronting effects of thermal distortion. Their solution, a customized deformable mirror, proves to be ...

Researchers at Cornell, Colorado State, and Kapteyn-Murnane Laboratories believe ultrafast fiber lasers could hold an abundance of untapped potential. The collaborative research team published a proposal ...

Introduction to the Diode Laser Researchers have been developing different types of coherent light sources to fit a larger span of applications since 1960. Present-day lasers vary in size, power-range, and ...

Basics of Lamp-Pumped Solid State (LPSS) Lasers As the trailblazer for many modern day laser designs, LPSS lasers are a mature technology that have been around since the invention of the first laser. The ...

Introduction to Ultrafast Lasers The ultrafast laser is a category of laser that emits ultrashort light pulses with time spans of femtoseconds or picoseconds. To put this in perspective, ultrafast lasers ...

What is the current fashion in the global laser market? If you run a factory focusing on material processing, your first answer is probably fiber laser. And expectedly you might be planning to order one to ...

Laser based therapy of scars and wounds is a relatively new technology treatment that started in the 1980s. At first, CO2 and argon lasers were used to vaporize scar tissue and lessen the texture of the ...
