Neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) frequency-doubled lasers, usually operated in continuous-wave or pulsed modes, used in procedures requiring precise surgical excision, vaporization, or photocoagulation with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. The power density chosen for a given application determines the tissue interaction achieved at the operative site.
-
Neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers that double the frequency of the emitted laser light by passing the energy through a crystal, typically of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP), designed for use in surgical procedures. These lasers emit energy at a wavelength of 532 nm (green); they may be operated in continuous-wave or pulsed modes. The laser energy can be delivered through a flexible optical glass fiber. Frequency-doubled surgical Nd:YAG lasers are used in a wide variety of surgical applications.
