The term "LASER" denotes Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of light. Laser light has three special qualities that distinguish it from the conventional light source.

Kryptonlaser wavelength

The excitation medium is the ionised argon gas in a sealed laser tube, which is excited by a direct current electrical discharge.

Argon lasers are FDA approved for use in photodynamic therapy to treat actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Argon ion laser wavelengthpdf

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a range of argon laser machines for various skin disorders. These include The LASOS® Ar-Ion lasers (LASOS Lasertechnik, Germany), and Modulaser™ (Modulaser,Utah, USA). Individual machines are designed to treat specific skin problems.

The argon ion laser emits a specific wave length (488–514 nm) of blue-green light found in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. About 80% of the energy is at wavelengths of 488–514 nm
