Laser-diode dual-end-pumped electro-optic Q-switched slab Tm:YAP laser
摘要: A high-repetition-rate and double-end pumped electro-optic Q-switched Tm:YAlO3 (Tm:YAP) laser is reported. The Tm:YAP slab crystal cut by c-axis is used as the laser gain medium, and the RbTiOPO4(RTP) crystal is selected as the electro-optic Q-switched crystal. Choosing volume Bragg gratings (VBG) as the input mirror to narrow the output line width. When the pump power is 79.2 W, at a repetition rate of 10 kHz, maximum average-output-power of 21.96 W is achieved, with the pulse width of 20.64 ns and output energy of 2.20 mJ. The output peak power is 107.3 kW and the slope efficiency is 29.2%. The center wavelength is 1937.87 nm and the line width is 0.73 nm. The beam quality in the x direction is 1.48, and in the y direction is 1.50.

Nd:YAP laser in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity: An ex vivo study.
摘要: Purpose: The aims of this ex vivo study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the Nd:YAP laser in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity, to compare the temperature rise during laser irradiation at three different dentine thicknesses, and to analyse the composition of the dentine-lased surface. Methods: A total of 33 teeth were used in this study. For scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, 24 teeth were transversely sectioned and divided into 4 groups: group A was irrigated with EDTA; group B was irradiated by Nd:YAP laser with 180 mJ energy/per pulse, 0.9 W average power, and 5 Hz frequency (power density [PD] = 229 W/cm2); group C was irradiated by Nd:YAP laser with 280 mJ energy/pulse, 1.4 W average power, and 5 Hz frequency (PD = 356 W/cm2); and group D was irradiated by Nd:YAP with 360 mJ energy/pulse, 1.8 W average power, and 5 Hz frequency (PD = 458W/cm2). Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was performed on the same teeth evaluated for SEM observations. For temperature increase evaluation performed with thermocouples, 9 teeth were transversely sectioned at 3 different thicknesses (3 for each group) of 1, 2, and 3 mm. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant changes in the diameter of the dentinal tubule orifices among all groups; EDS did not show modification of the Ca/P ratio. Temperature increase under irradiation exceeded 5.5°C only in the group D samples. Conclusions: This ex vivo study, based on temperature recording, SEM observation, and EDS analysis, demonstrated that Nd:YAP laser at a PD of 356 W/cm2, corresponding to an average power of 1.4 W, defines the best treatment for dentine hypersensitivity in terms of compromise between efficacy of the treatment and safety of the pulp.
