The properties of the laser beam delivery system on the one hand, and the tissue application on the other, will determine the choice of a delivery method for medical applications. The beam guide and the target optics are the crucial components.
The majority of lasers can be delivered by silica fibers and have wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared range. Other fiber materials or hollow waveguides are used for the mid-and far-IR. An optically active component is present at the end of the waveguide or fiber to steer the beam and regulate the power density on the target tissue.
The laser beam can be applied externally using focusing handpieces and scanning equipment or internally practically anywhere in the body utilizing flexible fibers, endoscopes, and microscopes. By examining beam qualities, transmission patterns, and thermal properties, the characteristics of the delivery systems can be identified.
The contribution of optical, thermal, and mechanical impacts to the tissue will depend on whether continuous wave or pulsed laser energy is delivered in a contact or non-contact manner. Numerous therapeutic applications provide examples of how laser delivery systems are used in real-world settings.
There are various laser beam delivery systems that have been created, but they all essentially have the same function: to route a light beam from a light source to an application. The most common type of light source used is a laser. For instance, in order to expose a workpiece to laser light, one must direct the output of an industrial laser toward the workpiece.
For medical uses like surgery or skin treatments, the same specifications apply. In many circumstances, it is also necessary to direct the light to a precise beam-radius-defined spot. Robotics and beam delivery systems are frequently used in industrial operations.
An example of a typical scenario is when a stationary laser system supplies radiation to a laser processing head on a robot arm. An alternate method to reduce the necessary length and moving flexibility of the beam path is to directly mount a sufficiently small and durable laser, for instance, on a robot arm.
The Global laser beam delivery system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Lasers are still used in an expanding range of applications. Getting the laser with the proper power, size, and shape from the source to the item is one of the most frequent issues. ZYGO creates laser beam delivery systems for a variety of applications that use pulsed or continuous-wave pico-/femtosecond lasers in the UV to IR.
