Seen is a "beam of light" traveling along fiber optics for photodynamic therapy for use in an operating room. Its source is a laser beam which is split at two different stages to create the proper "therapeutic wavelength". The patient has been given a photo sensitive drug containing cancer killing substances which are absorbed by cancer cells. During the surgery, the light beam is positioned at the tumor site, which then activates the drug that kills the cancer cells, thus photodynamic therapy.Credit: John Crawford (photographer).

Shown is close up of surgeons' hands in an operating room with a "beam of light" traveling along fiber optics for photodynamic therapy. Its source is a laser beam which is split at two different stages to create the proper "therapeutic wavelength". A patient would be given a photo sensitive drug (photofrin) containing cancer killing substances which are absorbed by cancer cells. During the surgery, the light beam is positioned at the tumor site, which then activates the drug that kills the cancer cells, thus photodynamic therapy (PDT).Credit: John Crawford (photographer).

One of the many uses for the laser in medical research is as a light source to detect premalignant and malignant cells in a Pap smear. Shown here are gynecologic cells passing in a stream through the laser beam where each cell is analyzed. Abnormal-appearing cells can be sorted from the rest of the cells and later examined by a pathologist for evidence of cancer.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Health

In a technique called YAG laser capsulotomy, your doctor uses a laser beam to make a tiny hole in the lens to let light pass through. (references)

The doctor may also use the extra tube in the cystoscope to extend a flexible fiber that carries a laser beam to break the stone into smaller pieces that can then pass out of the body in your urine. (references)

Business

Demand for computer peripherals, such as high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs), CD-ROMs, and high-speed laser beam printers (LBPs) is also increasing due in part to the proliferation of high capacity engineering workstations (EWS) and Pentium PCs. The trend toward networking and decentralization among advanced private sector computer users will also spark significant demand for peripherals used for a wide range of applications. (references)
