Full Curriculum
Syllabus Overview
Fundamentals of Laser Physics
Photonics, electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength-frequency relationships, laser generation, population inversion and historical development.
Laser-Tissue Interaction
Absorption, ablation thresholds, emission modes, soft- and hard-tissue ablation, power density, cooling, thermal relaxation and complications.
Laser Safety
ANSI/IEC standards, MPE/NOHD calculations, controlled-area protocols, local rules and best-practice safety systems.
