Event Details

Stuart Mohr, Technical Marketing Manager, Cutera, Inc.
"Lasers in Medicine"

 

ABSTRACT

Lasers in medicine combine many aspects of science and engineering, including engineering design (ME, EE, CE, etc), laser physics, and biologic tissue interaction. Designing lasers to meet the needs of patients and practitioners requires an understanding of laser tissue interaction and close collaboration between engineering and clinicians. Many attributes of lasers, including wavelength pulse duration, spot size and fluence directly affect how laser light interacts with tissue. Understanding of each parameter along with the biology of the target structure allows laser manufacturers to develop new and innovative ways to treat patients with improved efficacy and reduced risks. This presentation provides an overview of laser and tissue interaction, including clinical and engineering validations to illustrate the process and science behind the development of medical lasers.



BIO

Stuart Mohr received dual degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and his MBA from the University of California at Berkeley . Stuart has design experience in both dermatologic and ophthalmic laser systems including lasers for hair removal, vascular and pigmented lesions, laser resurfacing, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Currently, he is the Manager of Technical Marketing at Cutera, working with Marketing, Engineering and Clinical Research to develop new aesthetic devices.

IEEE Santa Clara Valley Photonics Society

The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society, previously known as IEEE Laser and Electro-Optics Society (LEOS), is interested in lasers, optical devices, optical fibers, and associated lightwave technology and their research, development, design, manufacture, and applications in systems and subsystems. The Society is also concerned with the various scientific and technological activities which contribute to the useful expansion of the field.
