Laser-Based Metastable Krypton Generation

Automation in krypton laser photocoagulation.

Histologic study of lesions produced by krypton red (647.1 nm) and krypton yellow (568.2 nm) laser lights reported here suggests advantages in alternating these two wavelengths in photocoagulation. Selection of the best wavelength to be used in a given location on the retina should result from pre-determined absorbance conditions in that location. The feasibility of the relative measurement of ...

Iridotomy with red krypton laser.

Iridotomy with red krypton laser instead of blue-green argon laser was performed on 68 eyes with various types of angle-closure glaucoma. Patent iridotomy was obtained in all the eyes, mostly in one working session. In eight eyes secondary closure by pigment needed reopening with a few applications at the iridotomy site. There were no immediate or late complications of importance, the main adva...

New Infrared Laser Lines in Argon, Krypton, and Xenon

Fourteen new infrared laser transitions in Ar, Kr, and Xe ranging from 3.725 to 17.233 pm are reported. All of the Kr laser transitions and all but oneof the Ar and Xe transitions have upper levels in the s or d state: the majority of the transitions satisfy the condition AK = AJ. Identification of a previously observed, unidentified laser line at 5.804 pm in AI is given. Nobel gas lasers are o...

Krypton Fluoride Laser Development-the Path to an IRE

Laser manipulation of metastable neon atoms

The photon statistics of resonance fluorescence are studied by means of an atomic beam deflection experiment; The expected sub-Poissonian statistics are a manifestation of the quantummechanical nature of light. We present extensive results giving the deviation from Poissonian photon statistics as a function of the intensity and the detuning of the exciting laser field. We compare the data with ...
