Abstract: The optical device for determining the angular position of a rotating element comprises: a concave mirror (13) integral to one rotating element (7); an electromagnetic radiation emitter (17); at least one electro-optical detector (19R, 19L). The concave mirror, the emitter, and the detector are arranged in such a way that at least a part of the radiation emitted by said emitter is focused by the concave mirror on said at least one detector. The detector produces a signal, which can vary as a function of the position in which the radiation is focused by the mirror on the detector.

Abstract: A method and system for skin tightening comprises a hollow cannula that contains an optical fiber connected to a laser source. The cannula is inserted subcutaneously into a patient so that the end of the fiber is located within the tissue underlying the dermis. The source emits an output pulse that is conveyed by the fiber to the dermis, where the pulse causes collagen destruction and shrinkage within the treatment area. Radiation from the skin surface is detected to prevent non-reversible damage to the dermis, such as skin necrosis and excessive collagen melting. This method of sub-cutaneous laser treatment can also be used to treat striae, or stretch marks.

Abstract: There is described a gas laser comprising a pair of substantially mutually parallel and opposed electrodes (17, 37), between which a volume is defined containing a gas in which said electrodes generate a discharge. At opposed ends of the electrodes, in said volume, mirrors (65) are arranged to define a resonant cavity. The electrodes form an integral part of two portions (5, 7) of a sealed housing (1), containing the gas and in which the mirrors and the electrodes are housed. The two portions (5, 7) forming the housing are electrically connected.

Abstract: A device and related method for the removal of subcutaneous adipose layers comprises a laser source; an optical fiber for conveying a laser beam emitted by the laser source; and a hollow cannula for guiding the fiber to the subcutaneous treatment area. The cannula has a curved portion at its distal end, where the curved portion can be shaped to roughly conform to the contour of the patient's body structure. In this way, laser energy from the fiber, applied to the adipose layers, is generally directed away from the lower dermis of the patient, minimizing the risk of non-reversible damage to the dermis, including skin necrosis. In another embodiment, the optical fiber is a side-firing fiber that directs the laser energy away from the dermis. In other embodiments, a radiation detector, such as a thermal or optical sensor, monitors the temperature at the surface of the skin above the treatment area to warn the operator of harmful temperatures in the lower dermis.
