โœฆ Synopsis

New techniques were proposed for reducing the damage incurred to living tissues owing to temperature rise induced by surgical lasers. Precooling of the tissue and spatial filtering were evaluated numerically and were shown to be most effective in most surgical procedures. Application of pulse trains was also evaluated numerically and optimal operating conditions were identified.

We describe a new model for laser-induced retinal damage. Our treatment is prompted by the failure of the traditional approach to accurately describe the image size dependence of laser-induced retinal injuries and by a recently reported study which demonstrated that laser injuries to the retina migh

Background and Objective: Nd:YAG laser photothermal ablation has been accepted as a treatment modality for hemorrhoidal disease. There is little reported on its use in treating pilonidal disease. We hypothesized that laser would be an excellent tool for pilonidal cystectomy, facilitating improved ou

In order to increase the damage threshold of metal mirrors we propose to create a special structure on the surface of the mirrors (``photonic surface''). This structure must have the period about l/2 and will suppress propagation of surface plasmons with the frequency o 0 =2pc/l along the surface. T
