It can be routed by a fine light-conducting fibre. Snoring is not only inconvenient but also strenuous. The only solution for many sufferers is to undergo medical treatment that involves surgically removing part of the palate and the uvula. The instruments used to perform this operation often rely on a CO2 laser. But its light cannot be directed along a waveguide, and so an articulated arm has to be used to direct the beam to the correct position inside the patient’s mouth. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institutes for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen and for Applied Solid State Physics IAF in Freiburg have now developed a diode laser of a suitable wavelength that allows this problem to be overcome. “The laser output can be routed through a very fine light-conducting fibre,” says ILT project manager Dr. Konstantin Boucke. “Instead of laboriously positioning a mirror at the correct angle, the surgeon merely has to introduce a flexible optical fibre into the patient’s mouth.” What makes this particular diode laser so special is that it has a wavelength of two micrometers. “Light at this wavelength is readily absorbed by biological tissue, and the laser beam doesn’t penetrate far. Surgical incisions can be controlled much better with this laser. It can also be switched to a second operating mode in which it emits radiation at 800 to 980 nanometers, the ideal wavelength for arresting bleeding. This makes the new laser highly suitable for any type of soft tissue surgery – including prostate resection, which involves inserting an optical fibre in the urethra,” says Boucke. In order to produce a diode laser operating at this wavelength, the researchers had to work with an unconventional material – gallium antimonide – and adapt the optical setup accordingly. The cameras normally used to calibrate the laser beam were not sufficiently sensitive for a wavelength of two micrometers. Source: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft 《美迪醫訊》歡迎您參與新聞投稿,業務咨詢: 美迪醫療網業務咨詢
