Von Einsteins Quantentheorie zur modernen Lasertherapie

Abstract: Laser technology has considerably expanded therapeutic modalities in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. In addition, lasers have broadened the spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic options in many other medical fields. Dermatologists, especially Dr. Leon Goldman, played an important role in the evolution and use of medical lasers. There was a long way from the concept of stimulated emission as the fundamental idea of laser technology by Albert Einstein in 1917 to the practical use of the laser today. We revi… Show more

“…In 1958, Townes and Arthur L. Schawlow published their study “Infrared and optical maser” which was used as a basis for the construction of the first laser in 1960 by the physicist Theodor Maiman. A development of various kinds of lasers ensued [91]. …”

“…The first step on the path to laser development was a paper published in 1917 by Albert Einstein in which he presented the idea of "stimulated emission" as part of his quantum theory. Incoherent light is produced by the effort of electrons to spontaneously regress from an excited to a lower energy state and release energy in the form of photons [4] . LLLT, also known as "soft laser therapy," has been applied in medicine for more than three decades.…”
