Solid-State Lasers

Subscribe to New Research on Solid-State Lasers

Lasers which use a solid, as opposed to a liquid or gas, as the lasing medium. Common materials used are crystals, such as YAG (YTTRIUM aluminum garnet); alexandrite; and CORUNDUM, doped with a rare earth element such as a NEODYMIUM; ERBIUM; or HOLMIUM. The output is sometimes additionally modified by addition of non-linear optical materials such as potassium titanyl phosphate crystal, which for example is used with neodymium YAG lasers to convert the output light to the visible range.

1.	Cicatrix (Scar) 10/01/1997 - "Recently, the pulsed Er:YAG laser has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for several kinds of pitted facial scars. " 08/01/2009 - "Although treatment of one patient with the Q-switched ruby laser therapy failed, the remaining patients responded well and had good to excellent skin texture without hypertrophic scarring. " 10/01/1996 - "We report our experiences with two patients whose traumatic tattoos resolved completely without any scarring after ruby laser therapy. " 01/01/2014 - "The combined PDL/Nd:YAG laser significantly improved the appearance of the scars. " 10/01/2013 - "The fractional Er:YAG laser device significantly improved postsurgical scar lines in each patient without significant adverse effects. "
2.	Hemorrhage 07/01/2015 - "There was a marked reduction in the sub-ILM hemorrhage 1 day after Nd:YAG laser membranotomy, and after 1 month, her best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/20, with complete resolution of the sub-ILM hemorrhage. " 02/01/2015 - "Nd:YAG laser frenectomies reduces transoperative bleeding, avoiding the need of suturing, and promotes a significant reduction of surgical time in comparison with conventional surgery. " 02/01/2013 - "Recurrence of significant bleeding was seen in one case 7 months post-operation, and was again cured by KTP laser. " 01/01/2008 - "80 W KTP laser prostatectomy is a virtually bloodless, safe and effective procedure for men with high cardiovascular or pulmonary risk or bleeding disorders or taking oral anticoagulant medication." 11/01/1977 - "By developing a special flexible endoscopic laser transmission system it was possible to transmit high-power Nd-Yag laser radiation, which is especially effective in massive hemorrhages.

" 12/01/2008 - "Randomized, controlled trials have demonstrated that holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is a viable and effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. "
