Our Institutes are the expression of our expertise     homepage > forever > laser physics   laser physics     The word LASER is an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." The history of medical lasers begins in 1960, when the first laser - a ruby laser - was invented by Dr. Maiman (the Nd:YAG laser was simultaneously developed in 1960 by Dr. Johnson, followed by the CO2 laser by Dr. Patel in 1964). Since then, new lasers have been developed, and existing lasers have been continually improved upon.   Our story   Our mission   The Forever team   Events   Publications   FAQ   Laser Physics   Electrons and photons   Laser light   Laser components   Laser parameters   Laser types   Laser-tissue interaction   Chromophores   Selective photothermolysis   Reference   Your skin and skin aging   Your skin and the sun   Botox   Glossary   back to homepage © 2006 Forever Laser Institut
