1. A laser handpiece comprising:
- a tubular member having a first end surface and a second end surface, at least one raised region being formed on each end surface of the tubular member;
a first optical component engageable with the at least one raised region associated with the first end surface of the tubular member; and
a second optical component engageable with the at least one raised region associated with the second end surface of the tubular member, the tubular member adapted to align the first optical component and the second optical component parallel or substantially parallel.

Abstract
Described are laser systems for treating skin. The system includes a first solid-state laser for producing a first output beam, a second solid state laser for producing a second output beam, and a delivery device for directing the second output beam to a target region of skin. The second solid state is adapted to receive a first part of the first output beam and generate excitation in a rare-earth doped gain medium to produce the second output beam. The second output beam is for treating the skin.
