In a strategic move to strengthen Abu Dhabi's position as a driving force for global technological innovation, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council, has launched a new generation of high-power fibrous laser technology with a wavelength of 2 μm.

This research achievement is not only a scientific breakthrough, but also opens up broad horizons for groundbreaking applications in vital sectors, most notably microsurgery, materials processing, and manufacturing. With its high efficiency and compact design, this innovative laser is an ideal choice for elevating performance and safety in future medical instruments and advanced industrial systems.

Thulium-based lasers. Precision for Safe Surgeries:

This new fiber laser is based on thulium technology, offering high efficiency, compact size and scalability, making it the perfect solution for applications that require precise interaction with water-rich organic matter, a fundamental property that is revolutionizing the medical field.

The most promising area of this technology is the laser, which operates at a wavelength of 2 μm, enabling the removal of tissue with extreme precision, significantly reducing damage to surrounding tissue and supporting minimally invasive surgical procedures. This laser also provides safer and more effective alternatives compared to traditional surgical techniques.

The platform is currently undergoing extensive testing and evaluation for its potential to be integrated into a range of advanced surgical systems, including kidney and urological stone treatment, prostate surgeries, and advanced urological instruments, with the potential to be expanded in the future to meet the needs of multiple medical devices. In addition, lasers are an ideal choice for industrial systems that require clean and tight material handling.
