2. Carbon-dioxide laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-dioxide_laser

   The carbon-dioxide laser (CO2 laser) was one of the earliest gas lasers to be developed. It was invented by Kumar Patel of Bell Labs in 1964 [1] and is still one of the most useful types of laser. Carbon-dioxide lasers are the highest-power continuous-wave lasers that are currently available. They are also quite efficient: the ratio of output ...

3. Lasers in cancer treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasers_in_Cancer_Treatment

   Three types of lasers are used to treat cancer: carbon dioxide (CO 2) lasers, argon lasers, and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers. [1] Laser therapy is often given through a flexible endoscope (a thin, lighted tube used to look at tissues inside the body). The endoscope is fitted with optical fibers (thin fibers that transmit ...

4. Laser medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_medicine

   A 40-watt CO 2 laser with applications in ENT, gynecology, dermatology, oral surgery, and podiatry. Laser medicine is the use of lasers in medical diagnosis, treatments, or therapies, such as laser photodynamic therapy, [1] photorejuvenation, and laser surgery. The word laser stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation".

5. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

   Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).

6. Bell Labs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Labs

   Bell Labs [b] is an American industrial research and development (R&D) company credited with the development of radio astronomy, the transistor, the laser, the photovoltaic cell, the charge-coupled device (CCD), information theory, the Unix operating system, and the programming languages B, C, C++, S, SNOBOL, AWK, AMPL, and others.

7. Laser surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_surgery

   Laser surgery is a type of surgery that uses a laser (in contrast to using a scalpel) to cut tissue. [1] Types of surgical lasers include carbon dioxide, argon, Nd:YAG laser, and potassium titanyl phosphate, among others. Soft-tissue laser surgery is used in a variety of applications in humans (general surgery, neurosurgery, ENT, dentistry ...
