Laser equipment

Optical fibre

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A filament of quartz or other optical material capable of transmitting light along its length by multiple internal reflection and emitting it at the end.

Optical Pumping

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The excitation of the lasing medium by the application of light rather than electrical discharge.

Optical Radiation

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation (0.35-1.4 nm) that falls in the region of transmittance of the human eye.

Optically Pumped Lasers

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A type of laser that derives energy from another light source such as a xenon or krypton flashlamp or other laser source.

Output Coupler

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Partially reflective mirror in laser cavity which allows emission of laser light.

Output Power

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The energy per second measured in watts emitted from the laser in the form of coherent light.

Photocoagulation

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Use of the laser beam to heat tissue below vaporisation temperatures with the principal objective being to stop bleeding and coagulate tissue.
