Abstract
Laser radiation around 3 µm is of great interests in medical treatments, because water is the primary absorber in many biological tissues at the longer wavelengths and the absorption maximum of water lies at 3 µm. Furthermore, short pulses with 3 µm wavelength in the nanosecond range are especially interesting because of small thermal damage to the adjacent tissues during laser surgery, e g. by ablation of cornea material.
