This type of laser is used for the prevention or treatment of angle-closure glaucoma. In this condition, the iris blocks fluid drainage and thereby increases the inner eye pressure. LPI results in a small drainage hole within the iris that permits the drainage of fluid and thereby helps to lower the eye pressure. 1, record 1, English, - laser%20peripheral%20iridotomy

Laserdiscs with this condition cease to play. Experts say it is too early to tell if images will develop laser rot, but steps have been taken to prevent it, such as use of higher-quality materials in the manufacturing of discs. 2, record 2, English, - laser%20rot

La taille des laserdiscs les rend plus prompts à se voiler et à fragiliser la frontière entre les deux faces. Les DVD sont plus solides. De plus, les DVD sont faits de polycarbonate qui absorbe dix fois moins d'humidité que le PMMA [polyméthacrylate de méthyle] utilisé pour les laserdiscs. 3, record 2, French, - oxydation%20du%20laser

The basic principle of the OWLS [optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy] method is that linearly polarized light(He-Ne laser) is coupled by a diffraction grating into the waveguide layer, provided that the incoupling condition is fulfilled. The incoupling is a resonance phenomenon that occurs at a precise angle of incidence, which depends on the refractive indices of the medium covering the surface of the waveguide. 1, record 4, English, - resonance%20phenomenon

The CEPES-Laser is a highly effective mutifunctional treatment system. Because of its wide application capability it has for many years been very succesfully applied in human and veterinary medicine... Despite having a low output performance of approx 0,5 mWatt the treatment signals penetrate through the combination with a magnetic field (Schumann and geomagnetic frequency spectrum) into the intracellular environment and generate the necessary physiological resonance phenomen. 3, record 4, English, - resonance%20phenomenon
