          Application No. 08/312,780                                                  


               The claims on appeal  recite a laser medical device3                                                  
          comprising, inter alia, (1) a Nd:YAlO  laser crystal, (2) a                 
                                                  3                                   
          pumping system for illuminating the laser crystal with pumping              
          light and achieving population inversion of Nd  ion in the3+                         
          laser crystal, and (3) a resonant cavity for resonating light               
          emitted from the Nd ion to produce a beam of output laser3+                                                      
          light having a predetermined wavelength at the preset output                
          power value.  The claims on appeal further recite that the                  
          pumping system includes (1) a pumping light source for                      
          irradiating the pumping light on the laser crystal, (2)                     
          presetting means for setting in advance a value of output                   
          power of laser light adaptable to different medical treatment               
          requirements, and (3) a power supply for providing the pumping              
          light source with a suitable input power based on the output                
          power value set by the presetting means.
