          setting in advance a value of output power of laser light and               
          a power supply for providing a pumping light source with a                  
          suitable input power based on the output power value set by                 
          the presetting means.                                                       


               Buys discloses an apparatus for supplying laser radiation              
          for the treatment of skin angiomas.  As shown in Figure 14,                 
          the apparatus includes a laser source 51 for supplying laser                
          radiation through flexible element 52 to the hand-piece 1.                  
          Buys does not teach a Nd:YAlO  laser crystal or a pumping                   
                                         3                                            
          system which 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.
