The thermal lensing eect of the Copper Vapor Laser (CVL) was studied by considering both its windows and the active medium. The equivalent combined focal length of the active medium and windows was measured to be 52 mts under operating conditions for a 35W CVL. The variation of focal length with the

Background and Objective: Melanin is a limiting factor for obtaining beneficial results in dermatological treatment of vascular malformations. The aim of our study was to establish a relation between pretreatment skin pigmentation and the occurrence of side effects. Study DesignIMaterials and Method
Background and Objective: Port wine stains are commonly located on UV-exposed skin areas. We therefore examined the longterm interaction between UV radiation and copper vapor laser light (578 nm, yellow light) and whether the thermal influence from laser light had a carcinogenic potential itself. #
Albino pig skin was exposed to the copper vapor (CVL) and flashlamp pulsed dye (PDL) lasers at 578 nm with a 3 mm diameter spotsize over a range of fluences until purpura and whitening were first established. The total irradiation time was the parameter that was varied in order for the CVL to reach
In thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) the intense pump radiation can lead the chromophore to partial optical saturation conditions in which the ground state is depleted and the population of an intermediate excited state increases. A model in which the excitation process competes with both the decay pr
