LD 侧面抽运Nd :YAG陶瓷激光器运转条件下归一化热参数优化理论及实验研究

The suppressing effect of laser extraction on the non-radiation transition process is taken into account when the heat model of gain media is developed. Based on the developed heat model, the heat generation in the operating LD side-pumped Nd: YAG ceramic lasers is quantified through using the normalized heating parameter, which can be deduced from the experimental results of the slope efficiency and the absorbed pumping power of the gain media. The main factors which influence on the heat generation are investigated by studying the normalized heating parameter, and the results show that the changes of the laser extraction efficiency, the beam overlap efficiency and the Nd3+ concentration will result in obvious variations of the normalized heating parameter. In this work, the laser extraction efficiency increases to 0.905 by the optimization of the transmission of the output coupling, and the normalized heating parameter decrease to 0.474, correspondingly.

Dual-wavelength competitive output in Nd:Y3Sc1.5Al3.5O12 ceramic disk laser

In this paper, we demonstrated a dual-wavelength competitive output in Nd:Y3SC1.5Al3.5O12 ceramic disk laser. Different dual-wavelength output behaviors for Nd:YSAG and Nd:YAG ceramic disk laser were investigated and discussed. By applying the energy transfer model, we suggested the reasonable explanation for this new phenomenon as the disordered replacing of Al3+ ions by Sc3+ ions. The main advantage of the dual-wavelength ceramic laser is the possibility to serve as the seed source to generate Terahertz radiation. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Room temperature efficient actively Q-switched Ho:YAP laser

We report on efficient actively Q-switched Ho: YAP laser double-pass pumped by a 1.91-mu m laser. At room temperature, when the incident pump power was 20.9 W, a maximum average output power of 10.9W at 2118 nm was obtained at the repetition rate of 10 kHz, and this corresponds to a conversion efficiency of 52.2% and a slope efficiency of 63.5%. Moreover, a maximum pulse energy of similar to 1.1 mJ and a minimum pulse width of 31 ns were achieved, with the peak power of 35.5 kW. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

Efficient diode-pumped Tm : YALO(3) laser with a pump recycling scheme

By using a pump recycling configuration, the maximum power of 8.1 W in the wavelength range 1.935-1.938 mu m is generated by a 5-mm long Tm:YAlO3 (4 at. %) laser operating at 18 degrees C with a pump power of 24 W. The highest slope efficiency of 42% is attained, and the pump quantum efficiency is up to 100%. The Tm:YAlO3 laser is employed as a pumping source of singly-doped Ho(l%):GdVO4 laser operating at room temperature, in which continuous wave output power of greater than 0.2 W at 2.05 mu m is achieved with a slope efficiency of 9%.

Ureteroileal Strictures After Urinary Diversion with an Ileal Segment—Is There a Place for Endourological Treatment at All?

Purpose We compared the long-term results of minimally invasive endourological intervention and open surgical revision in patients with a nonmalignant ureteroileal stricture. Materials and Methods We retrospectively evaluated the records of 74 patients (85 renal units) treated for unilateral or bilateral nonmalignant ureteroileal strictures. Overall, 96 endourological and 35 open surgical procedures were performed. Balloon dilatation and Acucise® or Ho:YAG laser endoureterotomy were used as minimally invasive endourological interventions. Open surgical revision with stricture resection and open ureteroileal end-to-side-reanastomosis was the alternate therapy. Treatment success was defined as radiological normalization or improvement of upper urinary tract morphology combined with absent flank pain, infection, ureteral stents or percutaneous nephrostomies. Results Median followup was 29 months (range 2 to 177). The overall success rate was 26% (25 of 96 cases) for endourological intervention vs 91% (32 of 35) for open surgical revision (p <0.001). Subgroup analysis showed a significant difference in the success rate of minimally invasive endourological interventions vs open surgical revision for strictures greater than 1 cm (3 of 52 cases or 6% vs 19 of 22 or 86%, p <0.001). The success rate of endourological and open surgical procedures for strictures 1 cm or less was 50% (22 of 44 cases) and 100% (13 of 13), respectively. After adjusting for multiple preoperative stricture characteristics, only stricture length was strongly and inversely associated with a successful outcome (p <0.001). Conclusions Open surgical revision produces better results than minimally invasive endourological intervention for ureteroileal strictures, particularly those greater than 1 cm. The success rate of endourological intervention is acceptable only for ureteroileal strictures 1 cm or less. Therefore, ureteroileal strictures greater than 1 cm should be primarily managed by open surgical revision.

Cistolitotomía percutánea en paciente con derivación urinaria compleja tipo mitrofanoff

Los cálculos vesicales son los más frecuentes del tracto urinario bajo (1). El factor predisponente más frecuente para la formación de cálculos vesicales es la obstrucción del tracto de salida. Presentaremos el caso de una paciente con antecedente de trauma uretral por fractura de pelvis; derivada con un Mitrofanoff; con diagnostico de cistolitiasis múltiple con cálculos de hasta 1 cm. El objetivo es mostrar la posibilidad de manejo de la cistolitiasis vía percutánea en una paciente con una derivación urinaria compleja funcionante, procedimiento menos mórbido, con menor tiempo de recuperación y con resultados comparables a otras técnicas. Inicia el procedimiento previa cateterización del Mitrofanoff con sonda Foley 12Fr, realizando punción suprapúbica para mediana izquierda a 2 cm de la rama púbica con aguja Chiba, posteriormente se avanzó guía hidrofílica seguida de varilla y dilatadores secuenciales de Alken 9Fr-27Fr y colocación de camisa Amplatz 28 Fr. Se retiraron dilatadores conservando guía de seguridad, se extrajeron la totalidad de los cálculos. Se ocluyó herida y se dejó sonda Foley conectada a Cystoflo. Egreso al día 1 post operatorio y retiro sonda Foley a los 5 días post operatorio. No se presentaron complicaciones, el tiempo operatorio fue de 1 hora, con 1 día de estancia hospitalaria. Recuperación satisfactoria con un resultado exitoso en cuanto a la extracción completa de los cálculos en 1 sólo tiempo quirúrgico. La cistolitotomía percutánea es una opción de manejo la cual ofrece grandes ventajas. Debe ser considerada no sólo en pacientes con acceso uretral restringido.
