US 2021/0260401 A1 · MEDICAL LASER SYSTEM

Abstract

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a medical laser system, comprising: a first laser source comprising at least a first gain medium for generating a first optical field; and at least one first U-switch configured to control a resonance quality of the first laser source; a control circuit configured to control the first U-switch to cause the first laser source to generate the first optical field as a first pulse train of laser pulses; a second laser source for generating a second optical field as a second pulse train of laser pulses; at least one nonlinear medium for generating a third optical field by a nonlinear interaction between the first optical field and the second optical field; a sensor configured to detect a property of at least one of the optical fields; wherein the control circuit is configured to control operation of the first U-switch so as to adjust a relative timing of the laser pulses of the first pulse train and the laser pulses of the second pulse train responsive to the detected property.
