Device Description
The PicoWay Laser System is a solid state laser capable of delivering energy at wavelengths of 1064 nm, 785 nm, or 532 nm at short durations of 240–750 picoseconds (ps) at repetition rates up to 10 Hz (1064 nm, 532 nm) or 5 Hz (785 nm). The device system is comprised of a system console, an articulated arm, and an attached handpiece. The laser output at each wavelength is generated within the laser chassis and delivered to the skin through an articulated arm delivery system terminated by a handpiece. The light-weight and ergonomic handpieces allow the spot size on the skin to be easily adjusted. A range of spot sizes is available for the PicoWay System (up to 10 mm). The system includes an internal calibration port with an internal meter located on the control panel of the system console, which is used to verify the transmission of the laser beam into the articulated arm. The PicoWay system control panel enables the user to select the desired energy density level and repetition rate. The control panel is also used to obtain feedback from the system, such as the number of pulses delivered or spot size selected.
