    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

    F-center laser 2.3-3.3 μm Ion laser Spectroscopy Optically pumped semiconductor laser 920 nm-1.35 μm Laser diode Projection, life sciences, forensic analysis, spectroscopy, eye surgery, laser light shows. The lasing medium is a semiconductor chip. Frequency doubling or tripling is typically done to produce visible or ultraviolet radiation.

  3. Optical tweezers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_tweezers

    The most basic optical tweezer setup will likely include the following components: a laser (usually Nd:YAG), a beam expander, some optics used to steer the beam location in the sample plane, a microscope objective and condenser to create the trap in the sample plane, a position detector (e.g. quadrant photodiode) to measure beam displacements ...

  4. Dental laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_laser

    A dental laser is a type of laser designed specifically for use in oral surgery or dentistry. In the United States , the use of lasers on the gums was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the early 1990s, and use on hard tissue like teeth or the bone of the mandible gained approval in 1996.

  5. Laser medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_medicine

    A 40-watt CO 2 laser with applications in ENT, gynecology, dermatology, oral surgery, and podiatry. Laser medicine is the use of lasers in medical diagnosis, treatments, or therapies, such as laser photodynamic therapy, [1] photorejuvenation, and laser surgery. The word laser stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". [2]

  6. Ruby laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_laser

    A ruby laser is a solid-state laser that uses a synthetic ruby crystal as its gain medium. The first working laser was a ruby laser made by Theodore H. "Ted" Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories on May 16, 1960. [1] [2] Ruby lasers produce pulses of coherent visible light at a wavelength of 694.3 nm, which is a deep red color.

  7. Semiconductor laser theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_laser_theory

    Light is generated in a semiconductor laser by radiative recombination of electrons and holes. In order to generate more light by stimulated emission than is lost by absorption, the system's population density has to be inverted, see the article on lasers. A laser is, thus, always a high carrier density system that entails many-body interactions.

    The laser diode chip removed and placed on the eye of a needle for scale A laser diode with the case cut away. The laser diode chip is the small black chip at the front; a photodiode at the back is used to control output power. SEM (scanning electron microscope) image of a commercial laser diode with its case and window cut away. The anode ...

  9. Nanolaser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanolaser

    Similar to the conventional lasers, nanolasers also based on stimulated emission which was proposed by Einstein; [1] [2] [3] the main difference between nanolaser and the conventional ones in mechanism is light confinement. The resonator or cavity plays an important role in selecting the light with a certain frequency and the same direction as ...
