Preferred Label : lasers, excimer;
MeSH definition : Gas lasers with excited dimers (i.e., excimers) as the active medium. The most commonly
used are rare gas monohalides (e.g., argon fluoride, xenon chloride). Their principal
emission wavelengths are in the ultraviolet range and depend on the monohalide used
(e.g., 193 nm for ArF, 308 nm for Xe Cl). These lasers are operated in pulsed and
Q-switched modes and used in photoablative decomposition involving actual removal
of tissue. (UMDNS, 2005);
