Background: Numerous lasers are currently available for hair removal. Objective: To study the efficacy of a pulsed diode laser for removing unwanted hair. Patients and Methods: In this quasi-experimental clinical trial, 39 patients with unwanted hairs on chin referred to Novin-Didegan Laser Center in Tehran were treated with a diode laser system (Palomar, 810nm). Fluences ranging from 40 to 64 ...

We report a direct tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (dTDLAS) instrument developed for NO2 concentration measurements without chemical pre-conversion, operated as an Optical Gas Standard (OGS). An OGS is dTDLAS that can deliver gas species amount fractions (concentrations), any previous or routine calibration, which are directly traceable to the international system of units (SI). Her...

Abstract The paper describes a semiconductor picosecond pulse generator that can be used to calibrate capacitive high voltage sensors of MV range. is designed as base unit, which external converters are connected. In the devices – first opening switch (SOS) and then sharpener (SS) generate an output with rise time 220 ps subsequent flat-top 2 ns in duration. amplitude around 1 kV across 50 Ω lo...

introduction: the purpose of this case report is to analyze the results of vestibuleplasty around an over-denture based on dental implants to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted surgery and soft tissue management in implant dentistry. case report: the patient in this case report was a 57 year- old male who was completely edentulous, with a mandibular over denture based...

An analysis of tnmel-diode low-level detection is presented for the purpose of explaining some of the unusual detection characteristics that occur under certain hias conditions. For example, in the vicinity of its inflection hias point, a tmmel diode exhibits a discriminator-like rectification behavior with two sensitivity peaks. When biased at one of these peaks, the diode is capable of unusua...

Semiconductor diode lasers have already been proved to be suitable sources of radiation for applications in atomic and molecular physics.' Several methods have been developed to improve their spectral purity and tunability. In particular, the sensitivity of these lasers to optical feedback has been exploited advantageously to narrow their linewidth and to control the emission wavelength by usin...

This paper describes three ways to fix antenna problems: (1) diode dropping, (2) jumper insertion, and (3) diode dropping with extension wires. Basic principles of these methods are compared and results are presented. Diode structures, SPIC simulation, and diode slicing are also discussed in this paper.

This paper focuses on single-diode photovoltaic cell models. Comprehensive simulation studies are carried out in order to adequately assess temperature dependence, solar radiation change, diode ideality factor and series resistance influence. A comparison between an ideal model single-diode solar cell and a model of single-diode solar cell with a series resistance is also presented. Finally, co...

In this paper, all the models of PV cell, namely ideal single-diode model, single-diode Rs model, single-diode Rp model, the two-diode model, and the three-diode model, have been discussed. SPICE simulation is done to evaluate the impact of model parameters on the operation of PV cell. The effects of the parameters are discussed. The photocurrent, IL, is proportional to irradiance, and the seri...

laser irradiation has been suggested as an adjunct to traditional caries prevention methods. but little is known about the cariostatic effect of diode laser and most studies available are on permanent teeth.the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of diode laser irradiation combined with topical fluoride on enamel surface microhardness.forty-five primary teeth were used in...
