Weld area and weld depth/width ratio can be considered to be of the most important geometrical factors in pulsed laser welding. The effects of carbon dioxide and oxygen additions to the argon shielding gas on the weld properties in pulsed laser welding of low carbon steel is investigated. Presence of carbon dioxide and oxygen up to 10 and 15 percent respectively decreases the weld geometrical f...

introduction: laser surgery as an alternative for conventional surgical procedure has gained special attention. using carbon dioxide (co2) laser has some benefits like less post-operative pain, swelling and infection, decrease in risk of metastasis and edema, and less bleeding providing dry sites for surgery. case report: a 12 years old boy with lingual frenum with indication for excision was r...

Deflection of carbon dioxide and helium-neon laser beams has been used to measure plasma and neutral density gradients during the operating mode and after the shorting time of a long-pulse field-emission electron beam diode. Plasma density gradients of (10’4-10’5) cme4 were observed throughout the diode during the fmal microsecond of the 2-3 ps electron beam pulse. The neutral density gradient ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the benefits and safety of using Carbon Dioxide Laser in multi-pulse modalities when performing labiaplasty and anatomical variants approach for functional and cosmetic indications. DESIGN This is a prospective, descriptive case series study. SETTING Private Practice Quirofano Calculaser Megacentro Pinares Pereira Colombia. POPULATION One Hundred and twelve women see...

This work studied the effect of additions of carbon dioxide to argon shielding gas on the weld shape and microstructure of ST14 steel in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding. By additions of carbon dioxide up to 15%,the weld area and depth/width ratio decreases while rising of carbon dioxide up to 25% causes increasing of weld area and depth/width ratio. It is observed that the weld metal microstructur...

Rhinophyma is a severe late complication of rosacea, which is characterized by progressive hyperplasia of sebaceous glands and connective tissue involving the lower two-thirds of the nose. It can be an emotionally devastating disorder, and serve as a medium for occult cancers and other health problems. Many surgical treatments have been advocated, as well as dermabrasion and laser therapy. In l...

A high energy double-pulsed Ho:Tm:YLF 2-btm laser amplifier has been demonstrated. 600 mJ per pulse pair under Q-switch operation is achieved with the gain of 4.4. This solid-state laser source can be used as lidar transmitter for multiple lidar applications such as coherent wind and carbon dioxide measurements.

introduction: acne scar is formed after severe episodes of acne in teen and earlyadult years. several treatment options have been used for depressed acne scars suchas punch grafting, punch excision carbon dioxide (co2) laser etc. moreover, studiesshow that laser skin resurfacing such as co2 fractional can effectively treat depressedacne scars. we investigated the efficacy of fractional co2 lase...

the minimal invasive nature of lasers, with quick tissue response and healing has made them a very attractive technology in various fields of dentistry which serves as a tool to create a better result than ever before. the rapid development of lasers and their wavelengths with variety of applications on soft and hard tissues may continue to have major impact on the scope and practice in prosthe...
