Ultraviolet optical fiber transmission capability of high-power excimer laser radiation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An increasing interest in UV light transmission through optical fibers is one of the most important consequences of the arising excimer laser medical applications. In this respect energy densities higher than 1 J/cm2 are required to induce photoablative processes in biological samples (cornea, skin, bones) or to vaporize atherosclerotic occlusions in aortas.1
