“…Especially, Er 3+ -doped glasses are attractive for numerous applications as microchip lasers [6,7], erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems [8,9] and in medical applications [10,11]. Host glasses based on tellurium oxide doped by Er 3+ ions exhibit large stimulated emission crosssection and broader fluorescence half-width at 1.5 lm [12].…”

“…Moreover, Er 3+ doped materials have been widely investigated from the point of possible laser application, especially in the spectral ranges around 1540 nm ( 4 H 13/2 → 4 H 15/2 ), which have the least loss in optical waveguide and are safe for human eyes [3]. The laser operation corresponding to the transition 4 I 11/2 → 4 I 13/2 at the wavelength 3000 nm is used for medical and LIDAR applications [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Im Einzelnen sind dies die im sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich strahlenden Argon-und KTP-Laser sowie der im Infrarotbereich strahlende CO 2 -Laser [1,6,7,9,12,14,15,17,28,29,30,32,34,36,39,45,53]. Unter den gepulsten Lasersystemen scheint der Er:YAG-Laser die geeignetste Wellenlänge für den Einsatz in der Mittelohrchirurgie zu besitzen.…”

“…Der Er:YAG-und der CO 2 -Laser unterscheiden sich in ihrer LaserGewebe-Interaktion und Effektivität aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Wellenlängencharakteristik und Bestrahlungszeit (Applikation der Laserstrahlung mit kurzen Impulsen mit hoher Pulsspitzenleistung). Während sich der kontinuierlich strahlende CO 2 -Laser sowohl zum Abtragen von Weichteilgewebe als auch, bei guter Fokussierung, zur Durchtrennung dünner knöcherner Strukturen eignet [25], bietet der Er:YAG-Laser hauptsächlich Vorteile bei der Bearbeitung knö-cherner Strukturen [36,39,42]. Sobald jedoch Blutungen auftreten, wird die oligothermisch wirkende Er:YAG-Laser-Strahlung vollständig im Blut absorbiert und erreicht nicht mehr das Zielgewebe.…”

In addition to hearing aids, stapesplasty represents the standard treatment of otosclerosis-induced hearing loss. In this procedure, the stapes superstructure is replaced by a prosthesis that is attached to the long process of the incus and communicates through a perforation in the footplate with the perilymphatic space of the inner ear. The removal of the stapes superstructure and perforation of the footplate are the critical steps of this surgical procedure. With the introduction of laser-assisted perforation techniques, the surgical safety of this method has been improved compared to conventional techniques. KTP, argon, as well as diode, Er:YAG and CO(2) lasers are used for stapedotomy. By using the CO(2) laser in conjunction with a scanner system, the number of laser applications required for the perforation of the footplate has been markedly reduced. In contrast to other systems, a more reproducible perforation diameter of the stapes footplate is achieved with a CO(2) laser equipped with a scanner. Complications such as uncontrolled leakage of perilymph, irradiation of inner ear structures or the occurrence of pressure waves with subsequent damage to the inner ear can be reduced by using a CO(2) laser. In this review, the surgical technique of CO(2) laser stapedotomy, including clinically established variants and paying particular attention to the one-shot technique, are described and discussed in comparison to other laser systems.
