introduction: trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common species of dermatophytes which affects superficial keratinous tissue. it is not especially virulent but it can be responsible for considerable morbidity. although there are different therapeutic modalities to treat fungal infections, clinicians are searching for alternative treatment because of the various side effects of the present t...

Background: Although cryotherapy has been reported as atechnique for depigmenting residual pigmented patches inpatients with universal vitiligo, Q-switched Nd-YAG lasershave not yet been used for this purpose. The aim of this studywas to compare the efficacy of cryotherapy with that of 532nmQ-switched Nd-YAG laser therapy for depigmentation in patientswith universal vitiligo.Method: Six adult p...

Background and aim: It is possible to use light sources suxh as lasers to destruct melanosomes and treat pigmented skin lesions. One of the most commonly used laser systems is Q switched ruby laser with a wave-length of 694 nm. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the Q switched ruby laser in the treatment of pigmented skin lesions including lentigines (simplex or solar) and caf...

introduction: recurrent corneal erosion occurs when the wounded corneal epithelium failed to adhere to the underlying stroma. therefore, this work aimed to assess the effect of treatment of corneal injury using q- switched nd:yag laser.  method: twenty one new zealand male rabbits weighing 2-2.5 kg and 3 months old were classified into three main groups. the control group: did not received any ...

A gain-switched laser transition, of a two-laser-transition cascade laser, that is driven by the adjacent laser transition which is Q-switched is demonstrated using a Ho3+-doped fluoride fiber laser. Q-switching the 5I6 → 5I7 transition at 3.002 µm produces stable gain-switched pulses from the 5I7 → 5I8 transition at 2.074 µm; however, Q-switching the 5I7 → 5I8 transition produced multiple gain...

In recent years, great attention has been paid to high peak power all-solid-state pulsed blue-green lasers [1–4] for some applications such as spectroscopy, display, optical data storage, coherent telecommunications, remote sensing, medicine, etc. Such lasers are generally realized by intracavity or external cavity frequency doubling of cw laser-diode (LD)-pumped solid-state Q-switched Nd-doped...
