	Laser Hair Removal
		Laser devices suitable for tattoo removal range from single wavelength of light to broad light spectrums.
		This laser treatment to remove tattoo’s is similar to what was being done since years to treat birthmarks.
		Lasers are suitable for resurfacing of the skin but it is certainly not a substitute for a facelift surgery or baggy eyelid surgery.

	Quantum properties of light
		The achievement of a significant population inversion in atomic or molecular energy states is a precondition for laser action.
		An ordinary laboratory helium-neon laser can be swept around the room and the red spot on the back wall seems about the same size at that on a nearby wall.
		The high degree of collimation arises from the fact that the cavity of the laser has very nearly parallel front and back mirrors which constrain the final laser beam to a path which is perpendicular to those mirrors.

	What Is a Laser?
		The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, although common usage today is to use the word as a noun -- laser -- rather than as an acronym -- LASER.
		In a ruby laser, light from the flash lamp, in what is called "optical pumping", excites the molecules in the ruby rod, and they bounce back and forth between two mirrors until coherent light escapes from the cavity.
		Lasers are widely used in industry for cutting and boring metals and other materials, in medicine for surgery, and in communications, scientific research, and holography.

	Skin Resurfacing
		In laser resurfacing, sometimes called "laser peel," a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer.
		Laser resurfacing is performed using a beam of laser energy which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at specific and controlled levels of penetration.
		Laser resurfacing may be performed in a hospital, an outpatient surgery center or a surgeon's office-based facility.

	Laser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dye laser used at the Starfire Optical Range for LIDAR and laser guide star experiments is tuned to the sodium D line and used to excite sodium atoms in the upper atmosphere.
		The laser was proposed as a variation of the maser principle in the late 1950s, and the first laser was demonstrated in 1960.
		In 1916, Albert Einstein laid the foundation for the invention of the laser and its predecessor, the maser, in a ground-breaking rederivation of Max Planck's law of radiation based on the concepts of spontaneous and induced emission.

	Laser (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Laser became a men's Olympic-class boat in 1996, and a special Olympic edition of the boat was released that year in commemoration.
		The Laser is 4.23 metres long (13 ft 10.5 in) long, with a waterline length of 3.81 m (12.5 ft).
		The Laser has 3 control lines (excluding the main sheet) from which the helmsman can adjust the rig, these are the outhaul, the boom vang and the cunningham (forward luff tensioner).

	Laser Surgery in Otolaryngology
		Otolaryngologists use laser systems for excising skin tumors, cancers, birthmarks and other disorders of the head and neck: Problems of the voice box, throat, mouth, nose and ear may be amenable to different laser treatments.
		In another instance, laser surgery might be performed to remove the stapes from the middle ear for treatment of otosclerosis.
		Lasers may be used also for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, eyes, ears and nose.

	Laser (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Treatment with a laser varies from one patient to another depending on the type of lesion, size of the affected area, the color of the skin around the lesion, and the depth to which the lesion extends beneath the skin's surface.
		Laser treatments impair the growth capacity of hair follicles when they are in growth cycle at the time of the treatment.
		Laser skin resurfacing is preformed by carefully controlling the interaction between the laser energy and the skin, thereby smoothing the skin as well as eliminating the bleeding and potential scarring associated with conventional surgical methods.

		Lasers are used to cut precise patterns in glass and metal, to reshape corneas to correct poor vision, and to provide intense heat in controlled fusion experiments.
		But we also use lasers as very precise light sources in supermarket checkout lines, CD players, and to transmit most telephone signals.
		Because it is so orderly we can control laser light extremely well, and that is why we can use it to do so many things.

		The laser system can be further divided into the laser, where the coherent radiation is generated, and the optical system that takes the beam from the laser to the output aperture where the beam enters the propagation medium.
		A laser operates in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, from one millimeter to 100 nanometers in wavelength.
		The challenge to understanding laser devices is to consider that the entire system, which consists of the laser device and its supporting systems on a space-based platform, its beam through space or air to impact on a target of some sort, and its ability to influence that target in some way.
