The Argon Laser is a type of gas laser that uses ionized argon gas to produce a coherent beam of light. It typically emits blue and green wavelengths, making it useful in various applications, including medical procedures and scientific research. The laser operates by exciting argon atoms, which then release energy in the form of light. In medicine, the Argon Laser is often used in ophthalmology for treating conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears. Its precision allows for targeted treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Additionally, it is employed in dermatology for skin treatments and cosmetic procedures.
