operated stably after more than 500h. In conclusion, we obtained a nearly round FFP in the 650nm band wavelength using the S3-laser. The laser had good I-L characteristics and good reliability at lOmW and 60°C. We consider that the laser could be of use as a light source in optical disk systems. and TERAMOTO, I.: 'Novel technology for formation of a narrow active layer in buried heterostructure...

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramics doped with Ce3+ was prepared by dry compaction using the common uniaxial pressing under powerful ultrasound assistance (PUA). The structure and luminescent properties of sintered were investigated. It demonstrated that ultrasonic assistant during has a positive effect on structural characteristics YAG: ceramics. material consolidation is very intensive acc...

conclusions the patient reported that he did not feel pain or discomfort throughout the intervention. follow-up visits performed after one, three, six, twelve, and sixteen months demonstrated vitality of the tooth the absence of complications, as well as good esthetic results. laser technology may be used in the treatment of traumatic anterior teeth injury with advantages in terms of quality of...

background and aims: although dental caries is a preventable disease, it is still common and remains a public health problem. one of the potentially effective preventive measures is laser irradiation. raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying the microcrystalline structure of dental enamel. the study assessed the chemical alterations occurring in enamel irradiated with er:yag or n...

INTRODUCTION Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a visually-disabling complication of cataract surgery. OBJECTIVE To estimate energy levels for capsulotomy in various subtypes of PCO (membranous, fibrous and fibro-membranous). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 215 patients with PCO were randomly selected and evaluated for Nd: Yag laser capsulotomy, after a quiet post-operative course of...

With the advancement in technology and miniaturization of instruments, retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with flexible ureteroscope is gaining popularity. Flexible ureteroscope is introduced into renal collecting system through the urethra. Holmium YAG (Ho-YAG) Laser fiber of different sizes is introduced through the ureteroscope and renal stones are pulverized. Removal of renal stones less ...
