Fabrication and characterization of periodically-poled KTP and Rb-doped KTP for applications in the visible and UV

This thesis deals with the fabrication and the characterization of periodically-poled crystals for use in lasers to generate visible and UV radiation by second-harmonic generation (SHG) through quasi-phasematching (QPM). Such lasers are of practical importance in many applications like high-density optical storage, biomedical instrumentation, colour printing, and for laser displays. The main go...

Effects of KTP Laser Bleaching on Traumatized Tooth Enamel

BACKGROUND Bleaching of traumatized discolored teeth is considered an important issue in esthetic dentistry. Various methods have been introduced for bleaching, some of which may have adverse effects on soft or hard tissues of the tooth. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of KTP laser bleaching on enamel of traumatized teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A square of ...

KTP laser-resistant properties of the reinforced laryngeal mask airway.

We have assessed, in vitro, the effect of KTP laser strike on the reinforced laryngeal mask airway (RLMA) under a variety of conditions. At power densities normally encountered in clinical practice, using a divergent KTP laser beam, the RLMA could not be penetrated and did not ignite with laser strike. The RLMA was penetrated at a high power density of 6.94 W mm-2 after 45-60 s. A flame appeare...

Clinical outcome of endonasal KTP laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy

BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical outcome of primary endonasal laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (ENL-DCR) using the potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all primary ENL-DCRs performed within a period of twelve months by the same combined Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaringology team in Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The main outcome measure for...
