Olmio (HO) Holmium

Medical Applications

Sophisticated holmium lasers emit precisely at a wavelength of 2.1 micrometers, which is extraordinarily effective at being absorbed by water in biological tissues. This unique property enables extremely precise surgical procedures in a variety of specialties: from ophthalmology, where they facilitate delicate procedures on the retina, to urology, where they excel in stone fragmentation, to dentistry, where they enable minimally invasive treatments.

Special Magnetic Alloys

In special metal alloys, holmium contributes to the creation of exceptionally powerful magnets that operate under extreme conditions. Its remarkable ability to retain a high magnetic moment even when subjected to intense magnetic fields makes it a valuable and irreplaceable element in cutting-edge research in solid-state physics.

Telecommunications

As a refined dopant in optical fibers, holmium enhances signal amplifiers critical to intercontinental telecommunications, ensuring fast and reliable data transmissions across vast oceans.
