Abstract

Lasers usually have one wavelength in one device, but recently, complex wavelength lasers that can produce multiple wavelengths in one device are being released. Nobleen laser (FineMEC Co. Ltd. Seoul, Korea) combines long-pulsed alexandrite laser and long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser and has 755 nm wavelength and 1064 nm wavelength in one device (Fig. 10.1). In this chapter I will describe long-pulsed alexandrite laser and focus on the 755 nm wavelength.
