Abstract:The purpose of this article was to make a narrative review of the literature in search of all articles regarding thulium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG), thulium laser fiber (TFL) and holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) for lithotripsy from 2020 to 2023. A selection of articles of special interest and best evidence was made in order to give a better perspective on their advantages and disadvantages.
Recent findingsNew Ho:YAG technologies of as high power, high frequency and pulsed modulations have shown promising results for … Show more
“…The pulsed laser has been widely used in modern defense and civilian fields due to its unique advantages of high peak power and large pulse energy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In order to obtain a pulsed laser, Qswitch devices such as saturable absorbers, electro-optic (EO) Q-switches, and acousto-optic (AO) Q-switches must be used in the laser configurations. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] AO Q-switches possess the advantages of controllability, fast response speed, simple structure, low modulation voltage, and convenient operation.…”
The acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) have been extensively utilized in laser technology, network communication, and radar spectrum analysis. In this paper, a BaO-TeO2-MoO3 (BTM) glass was studied as acousto-optic material due...
