Abstract
The invention provides an excimer laser system including a means for calibrating laser output to compensate for increased variation in laser optical fibers.
Claims21
A system configured to determine an output energy level for a fiber probe comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a calibration database stored on the memory, wherein:
- the calibration database comprises a plurality of fiber probe diameter values and a plurality of output energy levels associated with possible output energy levels of an excimer laser source, and
- each one of the plurality of fiber diameter values is associated with one of the possible output energy levels of the excimer laser source;
- and
- non-transitory computer readable instructions stored on the memory that, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a diameter of the fiber probe connected to the excimer laser source;
- and
- determine, based on the calibration database, one of the possible output energy levels associated with the diameter of the fiber probe connected to the excimer laser source.
