The document discusses laser technology and its applications in ophthalmology. It begins by defining what a laser is and describing its key properties such as coherency, monochromaticity, collimation, and ability to concentrate energy. It then discusses different laser types (pulsed, continuous), operation modes (CW, Q-switched), wavelengths used, and basic laser components. The main laser tissue interactions - photocoagulation, photoablation, photodisruption, and photoactivation - are explained. Applications of laser treatment for various posterior segment diseases are covered, including diabetic retinopathy, CNV, CSR, and tumors.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

2. LASER:
the word laser was initially an acronym for Light
Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
(LASER) .
It means that when an electron receive energy in the
form of photon it jumps to its outer most shell or high
energy level.
These electrons are unstable in higher state so they
loose their energy and jump down to its lower energy
state.
An electron may stay in a metastable state for
minutes or longer.
A photon of appropriate frequency passing near such
an electron will stimulate the electron immediately to
drop to a lower state and radiate an identical photon.

5. Although the total energy in laser light may be slight, it
can be focused on a very small area to produce a very
high energy density.
Laser light is also highly directional
Lasers may operate continuously ( eg, an argon laser
photocoagulator) or in pulses ( eg, a YAG laser for
capsulotomy).
Mode locking and Q-switching are 2 common methods
of producing a pulsed output.
6. Properties of Laser
Coherency (inphase)
Monochromatism
Divergence
Collimated (perfectly align and parallel)s
Ability to be concentrated in short time interval
7. Pulsed and Contineous Laser
Pulsed – energy delivered in brief bursts, more power
Examples: Nd YAG, Excimer lasers
Continuous – Argon, krypton lasers, diode lasers, and dye
lasers
8. MODES OF LASER
OPERATION
Continuous Wave (CW) Laser: It deliver their energy in a
continuous stream of photons.
Pulsed Lasers: Produce energy pulses of a few tens of
micro to few mili second.
Q Switches Lasers: Deliver energy pulses of extremely
short duration (nano second).
A Mode-locked Lasers: Emits a train of short duration
pulses (picoseconds).
Fundamental System: Optical condition in which only one
type of wave is oscillating in the laser cavity.
Multimode system: Large number of waves, each in a
slight different direction ,oscillate in laser cavity.
11. Basic Components of Laser
A Laser Medium
e.g. Solid, Liquid or Gas
Exciting Methods
for exciting atoms or molecules in the medium
e.g. Light, Electricity
Optical Cavity (Laser Tube)
around the medium which act as a resonator
12. Laser Tissue Interaction:
Laser surgery involves l of 4 light-tissue
interactions:
photocoagulation
photoablation,
photodisruption, or photoactivation.
Usually -
Visible Wavelength :
Photocoagulation
Ultraviolet Yields : Photoablation
Infrared : Photodisruption
Photocoagulation
13. Photocoagulation
Photocoagulation is the process by which heat
generated by the absorption of light denatures
proteins.
Pigmented tissue absorbs light and converts it to heat,
which denatures (coagulates) the pigmented and
adjacent tissues.
Retinal photocoagulation was first performed by
focusing sunlight onto the retina using a heliostat.
Sunlight was replaced by a xenon light source, which
was ultimately replaced by a variety of lasers. During
retinal photocoagulation, laser light is absorbed by
the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and the heat
produced denatures (coagulates) the retinal proteins.
14. The outer retinal layers are more affected than are the
inner layers, a fact that has several clinical
implications.
The more edematous the retina, the less heat reaches
the inner layers and the less visible the laser burn.
Accordingly, when photocoagulating an edematous
retina, it is important to look for signs of
photocoagulation occurring in the deeper retinal layers.
The difficulty with coagulating the inner retinal layers is
the reason laser photocoagulation is often ineffective in
preventing the progress of retinoschisis, especially
when only the innermost layers split.
Controlling laser spot size and duration is crucial.

anaesthesia; (B) appearance immediately following laser photocoagulation for
type 1 disease
16. Photoablation
It uses high-energy ultraviolet photons to break
covalent chemical bonds.
An excimer laser, for example, generates photons at a
wavelength of 193 nm;
these photons are absorbed by and break the covalent
bonds in corneal collagen, thereby vaporizing the
collagen molecules.
Because the energy of photoablation is used only to
break bonds, no heat is produced and the technique
does not scar adjacent tissue.
Presently, photoablation is used only for
keratorefractive procedures.

18. Photodisruption
The posterior capsule is transparent to visible and near-
infrared light.
This type of laser is pulsed, so the energy it produces
is released in a very short time, producing a large
momentary power.
Also, the laser beam is focused, concentrating the
power into a small area.
In the vicinity of the focus, electrons are stripped from
their atoms by ionization, but they quickly recombine,
which produces a spark and an acoustic wave that
mechanically disrupts the posterior capsule.

20. Photoactivation
Photoactivation is the conversion of a chemical from
one form to another by light.
Vision itself depends on the photoactivation (cis-trans
isomerization) of rhodopsin in photoreceptor outer
segments.
A clinical application of photoactivation includes the use
of verteporfin, a drug that remains chemically inert until
activated by light, after which it destroys neovascular
tissue e.g. Photo Dynamic Therapy in New Vascular
AMD.
