Which one among the following lasers is used in cancer treatment?1. He - Ne laser2. Ruby laser3. CO2 laser4. Semiconductor laser

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : CO2 laser

The correct answer is CO2 Laser

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2): CO2 lasers removes very thin layer of tissue from the surface of the skin without removing deeper layers.
    • The CO2 laser may be used to remove skin cancers and some precancerous cells.


  • Helium-neon (He–Ne) lasers are a frequently used type of continuously operating gas lasers, which is also the first demonstrated gas laser
  • Ruby laser is a solid-state laser that uses the synthetic ruby crystal as its laser medium.
    • Ruby laser is the first successful laser developed by Maiman in 1960.
    • Ruby laser is one of the few solid-state lasers that produce visible light​.
  • Semiconductor laser (LD): It is a device that causes laser oscillation by flowing an electric current to the semiconductor.
    • The mechanism of light emission is the same as a light-emitting diode (LED).
