II II Abstract Solid state lasers have been used in recent years as a very efficient precise tool in a variety of surgical procedures. We know that the Er:YAG laser emits electromagnetic energy at a wavelength of 2.94 microns, and at 3000 nm there is an absorption peak in water, and water content is 60-90% for almost all soft tissues, so that energy is strongly absorbed by tissues. And the vaporization is immediate and superficial without surrounding damages. Considering such characteristic, a special Er:YAG device used for blood sampling without any pain is presented. Quite as much, this study is done for a novel Er:YAG device used for blood sampling. The device emits a pulsed laser beam that can be focused to perforate the skin in order to create a small, relatively shallow hole that penetrates into the capillary bed thus allowing the drawing of blood for a variety proposes. This method is non contact and this will be very important in medical applications. Compared with some predecessors, in this study, the instrument designed have four improvements. Firstly, it is smaller and portable and it can be used both in clinics and at home. Secondly, it can work range from 2～40℃.Moreover, the penetration depth is so small that it is healing fast. Finally, the front panel of the device has two keys to select the desired energy according to the skin type. One of them is used to increase energy, the other decrease. In this way, the energy of output beam can be controlled accurately. In this thesis, the interaction of laser and bio-tissue is expounded first. And then taking characteristics of 2940nm Erbium laser to compare with other kinds of lasers to prove that 2940nm Erbium laser is an optimum tool for skin punching. Finally, designing the whole blooding sampling device which has the following main parts: the laser power supply, the Er:YAG laser, the user interface and the display. Because the Er:YAG laser generate laser pulses with the specified characteristics (energy,
