Holograms have been recorded in congruent LiTaO(3):Fe with continuous-wave laser light by use of a two-step process. Blue gating light (lambda=488 nm) sensitizes the crystals for holographic recording with red light (lambda=660 nm) of a diode laser. Refractive-index changes of as much as 1.0x10(-5) are achieved for intensities of the red light of 1 W/cm(2) . The saturation values are proportion...

Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

vascular lesions rise from abnormalities in blood vessels or endothelial proliferation . capillary hemangiomas are formed by small capillaries surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells in a connective tissue stroma . various treatments are used for these conditions like excisional surgery , sclerotherapy, and recently laser irradiation. in this case study, we report successful treatment of int...

Introduction: Nowadays, the main focus of dental studies is on adhesive dental materials; since clinical long-term success of bonded restorations depended more on marginal microleakage minimization. So, the aim of this study was Evaluation of Diode laser irradiation effect on microleakage in class V composite restoration before and after adhesive application. Materials and methods: In this in v...

The development of the Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope is reviewed from a historical perspective. Since a flying-spot scanning principle for an electro-optical ophthalmoscope was first disclosed in 1950, enabling milestones have included the introduction of the laser and inversion of the usual Gullstrand's configuration of optical pupils in 1977, and the application of the optical principle of co...

a hypertrophic scar is defined as an excess healing response that is a dilemma for physicians. several therapies are available: intralesional corticosteroids, topical treatments, cryotherapy, surgery, radiation, silicone gel dressing and laser therapy.pulsed-dye, nd-yag and co2 lasers have been used for treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars but recurrence is common. recently low-level las...

AIM Comparing the efficacy of photoablative and photodynamic diode laser in adjunct to scaling -root planing (SRP) and SRP alone for the treatment of chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients were studied. Maxillary left or right quadrants were randomly assigned to sham-laser treatment + SRP or laser + SRP. This consisted of photoablative intra/extra-pocket de-epitheliz...
