Across
- 2. the amount of attenuation or a reduction of radiant laser energy as it passes through the filter material in laser eyewear
- 3. beams reflect off a shiny surface and cause surface skin burns
- 5. a state in which all light waves are traveling in the same direction and in unison
- 7. laser light is made up of one wavelength and one color
- 11. is a nonregulatory, nonprofit professional organization that has established more than 100,000 national safety standards
- 13. reactions occur when lasers are mechanically engineered to deliver a beam of light pulsed in a nanosecond duration
- 14. causes the desired ablation of the material
- 16. measured from the distance of the top of one wave (amplitude) to the next
- 17. small particles that compose all forms of light
Down
- 1. the deeper the transmission, the more scattering of light occurs
- 4. is an individual working in the establishment who has advanced training and education of the facility’s laser equipment and knowledge of potential hazards and monitors and enforces safety practices
- 6. laser light can be transmitted through tissue, fluid, or glass
- 8. deliver visible results without damaging or vaporizing the epidermis
- 9. the vaporization, cutting, or removal of a portion (or all) of the epidermis or dermis
- 10. refers to the energy of pulsed laser beam or radian energy expressed in J/cm2
- 12. are the target in the epidermis or dermis that absorbs the laser beam’s thermal energy
- 15. is the amount of time necessary for a chromophore, blood vessel, melanin, or hair follicle to lose the majority of its heat by diffusion
