Abstract
Light produced by a laser differs from incandescent light in that it is monochromatic, coherent, and intense; and it is these properties that allow lasers to be used as such unique tools in biomedical research and patient care. The effect of a laser beam on tissue is dependent on the optical and mechanical properties of the tissue, and the wavelength, power parameters, and time domains of the laser exposure. Understanding these principles is not only important for the selection of an appropriate laser system for a specific application, but also is essential for that application to be successful.
