Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

This paper reports on design, fabrication and characterization of high-Q MEMS resonators to be used in optical applications like laser displays and LIDAR range sensors. Stacked vertical comb drives for electrostatic actuation of single-axis scanners and biaxial MEMS mirrors were realized in a dual layer polysilicon SOI process. High Q-factors up to 145,000 have been achieved applying wafer leve...

Dispersive dielectric multilayer mirrors, high-dispersion chirped mirrors in particular, are widely used modern ultrafast optics to manipulate spectral chirps of ultrashort laser pulses. routinely designed for dispersion compensation lasers and assumed be linear optical components. In this work, we report the experimental characterization an unexpectedly strong nonlinear response these mirrors....

as the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel aisi 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. in this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

low-power lasers are a group of lasers with a power less than 250 mw and unlike high-power lasers they have no effect on tissue temperature; they produce light-dependent chemical reactions in tissues. these lasers have analgesic features with their ability to trigger reactions that reduce pain and inflammatory mediators. low-power lasers can also be used instead of needles in acupuncture to dec...

To access the green spectral range for display applications, high-power optically pumped semiconductor disk lasers (OPSDLs) in combination with second-harmonic generation have been realized. A frequency-doubled output exceeding 9.5W is achieved at a wavelength of 520 nm. The wavelength of these devices can be tuned over a rather broad range of more than 20 nm in the second-harmonic regime. In t...

By mapping the signal-recycling (SR) optical configuration to a three-mirror cavity, and then to a single detuned cavity, we express SR optomechanical dynamics, input–output relation and noise spectral density in terms of only three characteristic parameters: the (free) optical resonant frequency and decay time of the entire interferometer, and the laser power circulating in arm cavities. These...
