LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite laser's shorter fundamental tunable laser output and fiber optic beam delivery system can enhance medical and dental laser applications. The lasers may be used in the medical market for Photo Acoustic Imaging to detect certain types of cancer (such as breast cancer), Photo Dynamic Therapy for treatment of certain types of cancer (i.e., lung cancer), hair removal, tattoo removal, spider vein treatment, ophthalmic applications, and blood clot detection to name just a few applications. In addition, the lasers can be used in the dental market for low trauma decay treatment and teeth cleaning. There are many more medical and dental laser applications that LEI's BrightStar(TM) Alexandrite lasers can address.

Traditional laser chip technology requires either active alignment or the use of additional components to couple the optical power of the laser into the optical fiber, significantly increasing the cost of FTTH components. The PowerBeam(TM) 1931FL enables the use of automated production processes and Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) technology to manufacture diplexers and triplexers. The combination of the 1931FL with low-cost PLC technology offers a compelling value proposition for the rapidly growing FTTH market.

Holmium-doped YAG crystals emit at 2097 nm and form an efficient laser operating at infrared wavelengths strongly absorbed by water-bearing tissues. The Ho-YAG is usually operated in a pulsed mode, and passed through optical fiber surgical devices to resurface joints, remove rot from teeth, vaporize cancers, and pulverize kidney and gall stones.
