Coagulation and ablation of biological soft tissue by quantum cascade laser with peak wavelength of 5.7 μm
Molecules such as water, proteins and lipids that are contained in biological tissue absorb mid-infrared (MIR) light, which allows such light to be used in laser surgical treatment. Esters, amides and water exhibit strong absorption bands in the 5–7 μm wavelength range, but at present there are no l...
