From: Laser induced mortality of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes
(a) Gray circles and solid line are mortality data and logistic regression fit (ordinary R2 = 0.8 and LLR pseudo R2 = 0.68) for dosing with the Nd:YAG laser in “long pulse” mode, producing 2.5 mm diameter spots, 90 μs pulses, and variable pulse energies of 60–100 mJ. Light blue triangles and dashed line represent data and logistic regression fit (ordinary R2 = 0.99 and LLR pseudo R2 = 0.94) for dosing with 976 nm diode making 2.5 mm diameter spots and 25 ms pulses with variable power 4–14 W. (b) Representative beam profile from Nd:YAG laser in “long pulse” mode, showing typical spikes and banding. (c) Representative beam profile from 976 nm diode showing round shape and Gaussian intensity profile.
