This is the first randomized trial directly comparing pulse-modulated Holmium:YAG laser and thulium fiber laser treatment of kidney stones during ureteroscopy.

YAG, Nd:YVO4, Nd:KGd(WO4)2 under flashlamp and laser diode pumping. Co2+:MgAl2O4 is a relatively new material for passive Q-switching in lasers emitting from 1.2 to 1.6 μm, in particular, for eye-safe ...

For this reason, they are most often recommended for people with lighter skin tones. Erbium lasers, also known as erbium-YAG or Er:YAG lasers, are newer treatments used for skin resurfacing. Erbium ...

Abstract: A homemade Er: YAG crystal-derived silica fiber (ECDSF) was used to construct a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser using 980 nm pumping (τ = 7.38 ms). Self-pulsing phenomena were ...

However, high-performance MOs are usually started by external seed pulses from complicated and expensive ultrafast laser sources. We demonstrate an all-fiber erbium-doped MO started by a compact and ...
