ABSTRACT: In this paper we brie y describe the interaction of high power laser beam with metal material and its application in the engineering industry. We involve the mathematical model using the nite element method to solve the corresponding partial di erential equation of heat transfer numerically. For application in a laser industry we present results of some examples of heat eld distribution.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Lasers are widely used in treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. In current practice, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) lasers are the most common type of laser systems used. The aim here was to evaluate the rapid effect of high-power laser systems after application of hypericin. DESIGN AND SETTING Experimental animal study conducted in the Department of Urol...

Nowadays, laser scanning has become an additional technique for geodetic applications. The use of laser scanners is continuously increasing. Different laser scanners of several companies are available. At the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry (IGP) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich), experiences with several scanners were gained. Recently, the focus is on inv...

o bjectives: one major drawback of orthodontic treatment is its long duration due to slow tooth movement and the pain at the onset of treatment following application of forces. there is controversy regarding the efficacy of laser for decreasing the treatment time and pain of orthodontic treatment. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low level diode laser on the rate of or...

PURPOSE One of the most frequent complications related to dental implants is peri-implantitis, and the characteristics of implant surfaces are closely related to the progression and resolution of inflammation. Therefore, a technical modality that can effectively detoxify the implant surface without modification to the surface is needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of er...

In this paper a new approach for the underwater sensor network based on the blue-green laser has been proposed. We describe the application of the underwater sensor network in the undersea exploration, and discuss the difficulties in the traditional the underwater acoustic sensor network. A basic of prototype of underwater laser sensor network has been advanced, which include the architecture o...

AIM To evaluate chemically the effects of diode laser on fluoride uptake before and after laser irradiation of enamel surfaces. METHODS Crowns of 20 sound human teeth were halved and a 3 x 3 mm acid-resistant varnish uncovered window left for: A) no treatment; B) fluoride (Elmex gel); C) diode (fluoride + diode laser); D) diode (diode laser + fluoride). The dental surfaces were analysed using...

purpose : to evaluate the structural outcomes of treated neonates with retinopathy of prematurity (rop) methods : in this cross-sectional study from april 2008 to august 2009, 859 patients were investigated. these neonates had been consulted at the retinal clinic of farabi eye hospital of tehran university of medical sciences. those with gestational age of no more than 36 weeks and birth weight...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the improvement of the mandibular movements and painful symptoms in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Forty patients were randomly divided into two groups (n=20): Group 1 received the effective dose (GaAlAs laser λ 830 nm, 40 mW, 5J/cm²) and Group 2 received the placebo application (0 ...

Methods and Materials: 278 consecutive patients 28 to 84 years of age (mean 59 y) with a total of 822 liver metastases were treated with MR-guided LITT under local anesthesia. 533 liver metastases of colorectal cancer (175 patients), 126 liver metastases of breast cancer (48 patients) and 163 metastases of a variety of other primary tumors (55 patients) were treated with a total of 2138 laser a...
