Background: Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit very unique physiochemical and optical properties, which now are extensively studied in a range of medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. AuNPs can be used for cancer clinical treatment with minimal invasion. On the other hand, curcumin is a polyphenol derived from turmeric which is used for medical purposes due to its anti...

The first application of the violet diode laser for laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection in capillary electrophoresis is reported. Operating at 405 nm with an output power of 5 mW, this laser offers many advantages over conventional red diode lasers operating at 635 nm. We demonstrate the suitability of the violet diode laser for LIF detection by detecting amino acids labeled with naphtha...

This report presents an overview of the Diode Laser; its construction, function and application. Lasers in the form of laser diodes are in widespread use today. Diode lasers are used in a large number of industrial applications; the most prevalent use of the laser diode is probably in CD and DVD drives for computers and audio/video media systems. Diode lasers are also used in many other applica...

AIM To compare the use of the 810nm diode laser with conventional surgery in the management of soft tissue mucogingival problems associated with orthodontic treatment. METHODS Orthodontic patients requiring different soft tissue surgical procedures were randomly assigned to receive conventional surgery or soft tissue diode laser, (wavelength 810 nm). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Parameters documen...

Background: The aim of the study was to compare functional and structural outcomes of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity with diode laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy. Materials and methods: We examined 111 children aged 4 years, treated for retinopathy of prematurity by transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy. Both functional (visual acuity, orthoptic status) and s...

diode lasers (ECDLs) are an excellent choice in many cases [1] and are specifically used because of their low cost and the broad wavelength availability, which covers almost the entire spectrum from the near-infrared to near-ultraviolet. The first compact ECDL setup for single-frequency operation using a grating for the external cavity was described by Ted Hänsch in 1995 [2] and has remained an...

Earlobe piercing is a common office room procedure done by a plastic surgeon. Various methods of ear piercing have been described. In this article, we describe a novel method of laser ear piercing using the diode laser. An 18-year-old female patient underwent an ear piercing using a diode laser with a power of 2.0 W in continuous mode after topical local anaesthetic and pre-cooling. The diode l...
