Abstract

The laser field is rapidly creating improved ultraviolet laser, new wavelengths below 200 nm, new infrared lasers in the near infrared and some new delivery systems suitable for medical applications. Carefully assessment of the safety and effectiveness of these new advances for medical applications requires accurate measurement of exposure at the target tissue and careful correlation with the biological response.
