Investigations on the slope efficiency of a pulsed 2.8- mm Er 31 : LiYF4 laser
نویسنده
چکیده
A slope efficiency of 40% from an Er:LiYF4 laser is demonstrated under pulsed Ti:sapphire pumping at 973 nm. With reduction of the pump-pulse duration a significant decrease of the slope efficiency and an increase of the threshold is observed in the experiment and confirmed with high accuracy in a computer simulation. This behavior is due to interionic upconversion from the lower laser level, which leads to energy recycling into the upper laser level. The upconversion rate is negative at threshold but increases strongly with rising pumppulse energy, thus enhancing the slope efficiency. The conditions are derived that are necessary for achieving the high slope efficiency of the energy-recycling regime. © 1997 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(97)03504-2]

Comparison of 585 nm with 595 nm pulsed dye laser in the treatment of warts
Background and aim : The clinical management of verrucae vulgaris is often challenging and no treatment is always effective. Early studies have suggested that pulsed-dye laser (PDL) may be highly effective in the treatment of verrucae through obliteration of dilated vessels in papillary dermis. The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of 585 nm with 595 nm PDL in the...

In this paper, we report the experimental results of a pulsed flash lamped Nd:YAG laser at wavelength of 1064 nm and Qswitched by Cr4+:YAG solid state saturable absorber. We have obtained the output energy (E) and pulse-width ( p τ ) of this laser for various initial transmissions of this saturable absorber. Furthermore, the effect of reflectivity of the output coupler (R), diameter of the rod ...
متن کاملمقایسه استحکام باند سمان رزینی با کامپوزیت غیر مستقیم آماده شده با توانهای لیزر ER YAG و سندبلاست
Background and Aims: Indirect composites are designed to overcome the shortcomings of direct composites such as polymerization shrinkage and low degree of conversion. But, good adhesion of resin cements to indirect composites is still difficult. This research was designed to assess the effect of different powers of ErYAG laser compared with sandblasting. On the micro tensil bond strength of r...
