Therapeutic Lasers and Skin Welding Applications

Laser systems used in therapeutic medical field are specialized in terms of energy production and optical delivery mechanisms. It is favorable that medical lasers should have compact design especially important for a surgeon who is working in operation room where bulky medical devices occupy wide spaces. With the developing technology, especially in diode electronics, lasers of dimensions as small as i.e. 20x20x20 cm3 can be produced. Laser physics can be overviewed elsewhere written in any physics or biomedical books. Here we will only mention about important mechanisms and general knowledge.
