One-dimensional continuous-wave laser tissue ablation models predict that the steady-state ablation velocity is independent of the optical absorption of the tissue and proportional to laser power density. This theoretical result was tested in an experimental model that approximates the one-dimension
The wavelength dependence of the ablation threshold of a variety of tissues has been studied by using a tunable pulsed Co:MgF, laser to determine how closely it tracks the optical absorption length of water. The Co:MgF, laser was tuned between 1.81 and 2.14 pm, a wavelength region in which the absor
