Hardware technologies: low-intensity laser radiation in EM
Details about laser radiation
For several decades, medicine has been successfully using laser technologies. Lasers have also proven themselves in the field of facial and body aesthetics. Let's talk about the effects of low-intensity laser radiation in aesthetic medicine and the spectrum of applications of this radiation.
Laser radiation is a type of physical energy that is not found in natural light sources. This radiation is produced by special devices - optical quantum generators (OCGs) of various designs, which are called "lasers" (from the English phrase Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation - LASER).
Laser radiation and the principles of its generation by OKG were simultaneously and independently discovered in the early 1960s by Soviet and American physicists. And within a few years (by the end of the same decade), the first attempts at therapeutic application of low-intensity (therapeutic) laser radiation were made.
Laser radiation is emitted by atoms of the working substance OCG, which can be represented by a gas, liquid, crystal, semiconductor. One of the most important characteristics of laser radiation is the wavelength (measured in nanometers or micrometers).
