Vascular Anastomoses Using an Argon Laser

Argon laser iridotomy.

Argon laser iridotomy was successfully performed on 47 out of 52 eyes of 35 patients by the continuous wave argon laser. The technique of argon laser iridotomy is described in detail. A number of complications were observed. The reasons for these are discussed, and measures for the avoidance of complications are suggested.

Binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator.

The binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator was newly designed to enable visualisation of the entire fundus during panretinal laser photocoagulation and to treat retinal tears immediately after buckling procedures of the sclera. The lamp housing of the binocular ophthalmoscope was remodelled and adjusted so that the laser beam and illuminating light are coaxial after leaving the ophthalm...

A growth factor in fine vascular anastomoses.

Photopolymerization of composite resin using the argon laser.

Because of the dental profession's increased utilization of light-cured restorative materials, there has been a corresponding increase in research into the light sources used to initiate polymerization. The argon laser is one promising source, as the wavelength of light emitted by this laser is optimal for the initiation of polymerization of composite resins. The literature reflects a strong di...

Diagnostics of an argon arcjet plume with a diode laser.

The diode-laser absorption technique was applied for simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements of an argon plume exhausted by an arcjet. The Ar I absorption line at 811.531 nm was taken as the center absorption line. The velocity and the temperature were derived from the Doppler shift in the absorption profiles and the full width at half-maximum of the plume absorption profile, respect...
