Device Description

The PicoWay Laser System is a solid state laser capable of delivering energy at wavelengths of 1064 nm or 532 nm at short durations less than or equal to 900 picoseconds (ps) at repetition rates up to 5 Hz. 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 zoom handpiece (HP). The light-weight and ergonomic zoom handpiece allows the spot size on the skin to be easily adjusted from 3 mm to 6 mm in steps of 1 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 (fluence) 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.
