Fujikura has achieved an output power of 30 W from a Q-switched pulsed fiber laser with a pulse width about 100 ns for the first time in the world. Following the achievement, we commercialized a 70 W output pulsed fiber laser . In the article, we describe our activities on high-power pulsed fiber lasers, and introduce our 70 W output products. Fujikura’s advanced and original functions of pulse...

In this paper we have studied the effect of magneto-static field onpropagation of thermal wave generated in metal by pulsed laser. In fact this interactiongenerate acoustic wave in different mechanisms. However, always the commonmechanism in the interactions of laser pulse and metal is the thermo-elastic wavegeneration. Applying the suitable magneto-static field on the s...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...

This chapter reviews the optics of pulsed laser microbeams and the use of basic instrumentation to provide pulsed laser microbeam capabilities within a microscope platform. Moreover, we review the principal mechanisms by which laser microbeams produce microsurgical effects in cellular targets. We discuss the principal photothermal, photomechanical, and photochemical damage mechanisms as well as...

BACKGROUND The current modality of choice for the treatment of Port-wine stains (PWS) is laser photocoagulation. Laser therapy for the treatment of PWS, especially with a pulsed dye laser (PDL), has been proven safe and effective; however, because penetration of the PDL is too shallow for an effective ablation of the blebs, treatment of blebbed PWS, using PDL, may be insufficient. OBJECTIVE W...

In this work, a novel technique is presented for the graphene fabrication based on the pulsed laser ablation of graphite target inside the cryogenic liquid using the pulsed nanosecond Q-switched Nd:Y3Al5O12 (Nd:YAG) laser at 1064 nm. Single-stage fabrication process is taken into account as a remarkable advantage without need to high vacuum devices and additional chemical components. The synthe...

BACKGROUND Ablative laser skin resurfacing with carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) lasers has been popularized in recent years and their side effects individually reported. No prior study, however, has directly compared the relative healing times and complications rates between the two different systems. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare postoperative wound heali...
