The flashlamp-pumped, solid-state holmium: yttrium–aluminium–garnet (YAG) laser has
been the laser of choice for use in ureteroscopic lithotripsy for the past 20 years. However …

The flashlamp-pumped, solid-state, pulsed, mid-infrared, holmium: YAG laser (λ= 2120 nm)
has been the clinical gold standard laser for lithotripsy for over the past two decades …

Significance: The highest absorption peaks of the main components of bone are in the mid-
infrared region, making Er: YAG and CO2 lasers the most efficient lasers for cutting bone …

In recent years, biomaterial investigators have increasingly focused their research on
hydrogels and their capability to be fabricated into tissue engineering scaffolds. Although …

In this paper two silica hollow core microstructured fibres (Negative Curvature Fibre and
Photonic Bandgap Fibre) are presented with attenuations of 0.06 dB/m and 1.1 dB/m at 2.94 …

摘要采用线型腔结构, 实现了中心波长为1939.31 nm, 脉宽在0~ 2000μs 可调, 重复频率在0~
2kHz 可调, 最大平均输出功率为34.2 W 的准连续掺铥光纤激光器, 并利用此激光器在体外环境 …

Laser technology in medical applications is a fascinating field for both scientific and non-
scientific societies. The main motivation for using lasers in medicine is to attain a contactless …

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of different optical fibers after
coupling an Er: YAG laser through them. This allows us to evaluate the feasibility of using …

Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy is now the main surgical treatment option for most patients
with urinary stones. Holmium laser is still considered the gold standard for laser lithotripsy. In …

In this Letter, we demonstrate high-energy and high-peak-power nanosecond pulse
generation aiming at the 2.94 μm water absorption peak, from a 980 nm diode-clad-pumped …
