  • Laser welding techniques have been characterised for various materials. In this paper, the laser weldability of STS304 stainless steel and Inconel 600 at dissimilar metal welds using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser are experimentally investigated. Inconel 600 is being used in a steam generator tubing of pressurized water reactor(PWR) exposed to some corrosion. Stress corrosion cracking can occur on this material. An experimental study was conducted to determine effects of welding parameters, on eliminating or reducing the extent welding zone formation at dissimilar metal welds and to optimize those parameters that have the most influence parameters such as focus length, power, beam speed, shielding gas, and wave length of laser were tested.

  • Recoil force exerted on the substrate during a nanosecond laser ablation of silicon is measured. The ablation sample is placed at the end of a 400 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thick and 13 mm long silicon cantilever. The vibration amplitude of the cantilever induced by the recoil force is measured in real time with a probe beam. By comparing the deflection amplitude of the cantilever with a theoretical model, the recoil momentum is estimated. For laser irradiance in the order of 10$\^$11/ W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the recoil pressure reached a value over 40${\times}$10$\^$9/ Pa.

  • Post-acne erythema (PAE) is one of the major problems during or after treatment of acne vulgaris with any modality. A variety of therapeutic options have been described with various clinical outcomes and side effects. We report here on treating a patient with PAE using 595-nm picosecond-domain neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. After four sessions of treatment, the patient displayed nearly complete improvement and no remarkable adverse effects. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of the effective treatment of PAE using a 595-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser. We recommend that using a 595-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser can be both an effective and safe treatment option for treating PAE.

  • Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis of the skin that occurs as a result of various inflammatory responses such as surgical procedure, trauma, and many inflammatory conditions. There are several reported studies of various modality in managing PIH. However, the treatment of PIH can prove to be challenging. In this report, we treated a patient with PIH using picosecond-domain Nd:YAG lasers. After ten sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatment, the patient presented considerable improvement with no remarkable side effects or recurrence over the duration of 6 months. We suggest that a 1,064-nm picosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser can be effectively and safely used for treating pigmented lesions resulting from surgical procedure in the skin of Asian patients.

  • LASER application has many advantages in the field of dentistry, however, it is not easy to apply dental LASER in general practice. Various LASER systems are in the market and it is little bit confused which LASER systems are useful. Most of all, it is important to select the appropriate LASER system to their own usage. In the present article, I introduce several LASER system such as $CO_2$, Diode, Nd:YAG, Er:YG, Er,Cr:YSGG, and its application according to specific disease criteria.
