Laserguide

Overview of laser types and their wavelengths

The term laser is the abbreviation for the English term Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (A highly focused light that has a specific wavelength of high energy depending on the laser medium) The medium can be, for example, gas such as argon, carbon dioxide (CO2) or a crystal such as ruby, or an electrical medium such as diodes. Depending on the application, a corresponding laser with a selected wavelength is used, which applies the laser beam to the diseased tissue with the help of different medical laser probes.
