LASER→Emit photons in a narrow, well defined beam of light. The light is often nearmonochromatic, consistency of single narrow wavelength. It is highly coherent and is often polarized. LASER was introduced to practice in 16 May 1960. Laser introduce into medicine at early 1970. LASER in Medicine: various types of laser are used in medicine for diagnosis, treatment and therapy.
