Bright Laser Diodes Combat Cancer
By Lauent Vaissie, QPC Lasers
Power consumption and cost (both initial investment and lifetime service) issues have made semiconductor laser diodes increasingly popular for biomedical applications. But diode lasers offer other benefits too, including technical performance and ease of use. The latest versions are able to supply spatial and spectral brightness sufficient to design new procedures and applications that are pushing medical therapy and diagnostics into uncharted territory. Chief among them is early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
