Advanced Optical Analysis of Divergence Between the Foci of the Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) and Aiming Beam Lasers.

Purpose: To evaluate the divergence between the neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) surgical laser and the aiming diode laser beams foci.

Design: Optical analysis and measurements were performed using a Volk Goldmann 3-mirror lens with a Nidek YC-1800 Nd:YAG laser apparatus.

Subjects: None.
