“…These vision problems are near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. These procedures use a UV excimer laser to cut a thin surface layer of the central part of the stroma tissue to reshape the curvature of the corneal surface after the corneal flap is prepared by a femtosecond laser [38]. After that, the corneal flat is placed back for healing.…”

This study aims to observe laser technology applications in two critical sectors which are military and medical. These two crucial sectors required a technology that is compatible with the nature of the field; safe, precise and fast (time –saving). A laser is defined as a device that emits a focused beam of light by stimulating the emission of electromagnetic radiation. The characteristics of lasers; coherence, directionality, monochromatic and high intensity are very suitable to be used in the critical sectors. In the military sector, the implementation of laser is commonly used in various types of weapons manufacturing. In this paper, three different military weapon systems namely weapon simulator, laser anti-missile system and navy ship laser weapon system were studied. Meanwhile, in the medical sector, the laser is widely implemented in medical equipment especially in dentistry, surgery and skin treatment. The capability of laser technology to be adapted in the critical sectors can be further investigated and enhanced for future discovery.

“…Lasers have been used for various medical procedures including dermatology, plastic surgery, wound healings, nerve stimulation, dentistry, ophthalmology and many other therapeutic and surgical procedures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Combining the nanoparticles and photosensitizers, diode lasers have been also used for cancer diagnosis and therapy [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Medical lasers for various clinical procedures including dermatology and plastic surgery, wound healings, nerve stimulation, dentistry, cancer therapy, and ophthalmic surgeries are reviewed. The fundamental principles behind the technologies are also presented. The laser spectra of UV (200-400) um, visible (400-700) nm, near-IR (700-2900) nm, and mid-IR (3-5) um having various penetration depths define invasive and noninvasive procedures. Diode lasers have been widely used in many surgical procedures including soft tissue cutting, coagulation and cancer thermal therapy. Various photosensitizers are presented in matching the laser absorption wavelengths. Finally, the principles and applications of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are discussed in great details.
