Thermal Interaction of Laser Light with Tissue

1 Thermal Interaction of Laser Light with Tissue 

The strong absorption of green Ar radiation in blood can be utilized for selective coagulation of blood in small blood vessels. This is utilized in the treatment of portwine stains. This dermatological disease is caused by 

The most relaxed regulations pertain to the wavelength region above 1.4 JUn where only the heat deposition in the cornea sets the hmit. As a rule of thumb, safety limits are relaxed by at least a factor of 1000 when operating outside the 400—1.4 xm window. For detailed accounts of the medical use of the thermal energy in laser beams we refer the reader to [10.159, 10.161-10.163]. The somewhat related field of material processing with laser is covered extensively in [10.164].
