Abstract
Laser technology has become a valuable tool for solving various medical problems. Recently, ceramic lasers have become a rapidly growing area of research and development for solid-state lasers. Polycrystalline ceramics consists of numerous single-crystal grains ranging in size from 10 to 100 µm, separated by thin boundaries. Based on ceramics, solid-state lasers with an output power of more than 100 kW in a quasi-cw regime with semiconductor diode pumping have been created. At present, there is considerable interest in the creation of highly transparent ceramics from yttrium oxide and yttrium aluminum garnet doped with Nd3+ or Yb3+ ions. The wavelength of laser radiation used for medical purposes is determined by the mechanism of its action on biological organisms. This article presents a review of the literature on modern applications of Nd:YAG lasers in various fields of medicine.
