The effects of laser light on sperm motility and velocity in vitro

H Sato et al. Andrologia. 1984 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

The effect of Laser light on the motility and the velocity of human spermatozoa were measured by means of multiple exposure photography. Total sperm motility increased after Laser irradiation at 4 J/cm2, 8 J/cm2 and 32 J/cm2 respectively with respect to control. However, no influence on sperm velocity was demonstrated after Laser irradiation. This observation suggests that Laser light stimulates non-motile live spermatozoa.
