The Ho:YAG (or holmium) laser is a high-power, solid-state, near-infrared source that can be fiber delivered. This makes it a popular tool for surgical applications in urology, orthopedics, gynecology, dentistry, and more.

The Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser is a highly comprehensive tool for endourology, using the doping element holmium as an active medium in a yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG) crystal.

2023年1月18日 · This study presents a high efficiency Ho:YAG laser based on a narrow linewidth tunable 1.91 μm laser. A tunable Tm:YLF laser is the pump source and the wavelength continuous tunability ranges...

"Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG)" is the shorthand name for a family of solid-state lasers that use the doping element holmium in a laser crystal (e.g., YAG [yttrium-aluminum-garnet]) and that emit energy at approximately 2.1 microns.

2024年12月9日 · Holmium laser is a new type of laser produced by pulsed solid laser device made of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) as the active medium, doped with sensitized ion chromium (Cr), energy transfer ion thulium (Tm) and activated ion holmium (Ho) laser crystal (Cr:Tm:Ho:YAG)

An integral part of these lasers, especially in the shorter wavelength region of the spectrum, are the Holmium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Ho:YAG) crystals. With their emission peak at 2.1 µm, Ho:YAG crystals have fostered innovation and broadened horizons in multiple domains.

Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy is an extended surgical intervention used for urinary stone treatment [1]. The current gold standard laser is the Holmium YAG (Ho:YAG) laser.

Recent findings: The current literature underlines Holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) lithotripsy as a well tolerated and efficient method to treat urinary calculi.

The holmium: YAG laser is a multi-purpose, multi-specialty surgical laser. It has been shown to be safe and effective for multiple soft tissue applications and stone fragmentation. Its utilization in urology is anticipated to increase with time as a result of these features.

Holmium YAG laser is a solid state laser, where YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) crystals are doped with rare-earth holmium. The first experiments with doping the YAG laser with holmium were...
