  2. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    In nuclear physics, absorption of nuclear radiations can be used for measuring the fluid levels, densitometry or thickness measurements. [2] In scientific literature is known a system of mirrors and lenses that with a laser "can enable any material to absorb all light from a wide range of angles." [3]

  3. Laser-assisted drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser-assisted_drug_delivery

    Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) is a drug delivery technique commonly used in the dermatology field that involves lasers. As skin acts as a protective barrier to the environment, the absorption of topical products through the epidermis is limited; thus, different drug delivery modalities have been employed to improve the efficacy of these treatments.

  4. Laser medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_medicine

    Laser radiation being delivered via a fiber for photodynamic therapy to treat cancer. 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.

  5. Waveguide (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_(optics)

    This improves the overlap between the focused laser beam and the photorefractive material, thus reducing power needed from the laser. [11] When transparent material is exposed to an unfocused laser beam of sufficient brightness to initiate photorefractive effect, the waveguides may start forming on their own as a result of an accumulated self ...

  6. Laser ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_ablation

    Laser ablation or photoablation (also called laser blasting [1] [2] [3]) is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates .

  7. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    An other active research area of laser–matter interaction is the radiation pressure acceleration of ions or protons from thin–foil targets. [35] High ion energy beams can be generated for medical applications (for example in ion beam therapy [36]) by the radiation pressure of short laser pulses on ultra-thin foils.

  8. Stimulated emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulated_emission

    Laser light is a type of stimulated emission of radiation. Stimulated emission is the process by which an incoming photon of a specific frequency can interact with an excited atomic electron (or other excited molecular state), causing it to drop to a lower energy level.

  9. Low-level laser therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_laser_therapy

    The following terms are accepted as alternatives of low level light therapy term: LLLT, laser biostimulation, laser phototherapy, low-level laser therapy, low-power laser irradiation, low-power laser therapy, and photobiomodulation therapy. The term photobiomodulation therapy is considered the preferred term by industry professionals.
