A fiber-optic thermal source for laser surgery applications

摘要

A novel fiber-optic thermal source, consisting of a Nd~3+ doped fiber tip and a pure YaG crystal fiber that grown by LHPG(Laser heated pedestal growth) method, had been studied for laser surgery applications. Pumping by a CuBr laser, the thermal source generated temperature as high as 520 deg C with stability of better than 4
