Yag depth of penetration

The penetration depth increased as the spot diameter decreased at a fixed voltage and increased as the voltage increased at a fixed spot diameter. Squillace A, Prisco U, Ciliberto S et al Effect of welding parameters on morphology and mechanical properties of Ti—6Al—4V laser beam welded butt joints. YAG laser of choice for informed surgeons. Srimaneepong V, Yoneyama T, Kobayashi E et al Mechanical strength and microstructure of laser-welded Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy castings. Instead, the authors usually chose the laser parameters that they supposed to be optimal based on their clinical experience and the immediate reaction of the skin. YAG laser treatment is therefore supposed to be especially effective and safe in darker skin types.

The laser energy is produced in bursts of photonic energy, rather than as a continuous beam. Author links open overlay panel T. The nm wavelength is most highly absorbed in melanin, less absorbed in hemoglobin, and slightly absorbed in water. As a pulsed mode laser, the Holmium reduces deeper thermal effects and charring which are more prevalent in Continues Wave lasers e.
