NIDEK CO.,LTD. YLC-500 Yellow Laser Photocoagulator

The NIDEK YELLOW LASER PHOTOCOAGULATOR YLC-500 is an ophthalmic laser photocoagulator consisting of a main laser device, a control box, and a power supply. With various types of laser delivery units, it comprises a photocoagulation system. The YLC-500 uses a 577 nm optically pumped semiconductor laser (yellow laser beam) as the treatment beam source. The pumped yellow laser beam (treatment beam) and the aiming beam (635 nm, red laser beam) are fed coaxially into the fiber optic cable. The output terminal of the fiber optic cable is connected to a delivery unit. The laser beam is formed into the desired spot size by the optical system, then the laser beam is emitted to the target area. The delivery units are equipped with a protective filter that protects the physician’s eyes from exposure to the treatment beam reflected from the patient’s eye or contact lens.
