Laser ablation of dental materials using a microsecond Nd:YAG laser

Graphene absorber for passive mode-locking Nd:YVO4 laser

“…M a n u s c r i p t 2 its applications have been extended to many areas [4][5][6]. However, SESAMs require complex fabrication and expensive packaging.…”

Heat generation caused by ablation of dental restorative materials with an ultra short pulse laser (USPL) system

“…The authors assessed the ablation rates of different composite resin materials and observed similar rates for materials of three manufacturers. Another study used a µs Nd:YAG laser system to remove dental restorative materials (Siniaeva et al 2009). Compared to dental hard tissues, the authors found a lower ablation threshold value for all materials under study including two different composite resins, ceramics and metal alloy.…”

Optimization of the pulse width and injection time in a double-pass laser amplifier

“…For example, nanosecond lasers can be used for UV marking, thin film patterning, and PC board cutting, as their pulse widths are in the moderate regime, offering a balanced throughput and high quality material processing [2]. Microsecond laser pulses have been widely applied for various medical treatments [4][5][6][7]. Nd:YAG laser pulses with a width of microseconds and 1064 nm wavelength are useful for treating keloid, hypertrophic, or surgical scars.…”
