Abstract
Disclosed is a surgical laser system. The system includes a laser generator to generate laser radiation to cause water absorption levels that approximate water absorption levels achieved with a CO2 laser, and one or more fibers coupled to the laser generator to deliver the generated laser radiation. In some embodiments, the laser generator is configured to generate radiation at multiple possible wavelengths in a range of between about 2.4 μm to about 2.75 μm.
Claims15
A surgical laser system comprising:
- a laser generator to generate laser radiation to cause water absorption levels that approximate water absorption levels achieved with a CO2 laser;
- and
- one or more fibers coupled to the laser generator to deliver the generated laser radiation;
- wherein the laser generator includes at least one laser diode comprising at least one quantum-well laser manufactured using an Antimonide (Sb) compound.
