The [[Er:YAG laser]] (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) operates at a wavelength of 2940 nm in the mid-infrared region. It is highly absorbed by water and biological tissues, making it ideal for medical applications such as [[laser dentistry]] and dermatology. The Er:YAG laser's precise cutting ability and minimal thermal damage make it a preferred choice for delicate surgical procedures. | The [[Er:YAG laser]] (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) operates at a wavelength of 2940 nm in the mid-infrared region.
