AB - This Editorial Review will provide and analyze certain key design aspects for effective (and marketable) medical laser devices, including: (i) the selection of laser wavelength (defining the types of therapy or diagnosis); (ii) the control penal functions (defining the choice of operations); (iii) the energy delivery means (defining the treatment target); and (iv) efficacy of the devices using a fiber-coupled multiple-wavelength system for deeper cancer therapy. um and (9.3 -10.6) um with strong absorption in water and tissue have Introduction been used for super surface procedures or ablative type procedures such Fundamentals and applications of medical lasers for various as soft and hard tissue ablation. Other IR lasers (1.3-1.6) um have been clinical procedures including dermatology and plastic surgery, wound used for so called minimally invasive procedures such as resurfacing healings, nerve stimulation, dentistry, cancer therapy, and ophthalmic due to their smaller tissue absorption than that of mid-IR lasers [1]. surgeries were reviewed recently [1]. The laser spectra of UV (190- As shown in Figure 1 (top), tissue penetration depth (d) of various 400) um, visible (400-700) nm, near-IR (700-2900) nm, and mid-IR lasers depends on their wavelength, or their tissue/water absorption (3-5) um having various penetration depths (from
