The carbon dioxide laser is frequently used in laryngeal microsurgery. Some surgeons have empirically used preoperative steroids or precooling with ice prior to laser impact to limit the resultant tissue thermal coagulation and/or edema. An animal model was designed to quantitatively test these effe
## Abstract A pulsed Er:YAG laser at 2.94 ฮผm and a superpulsed CO~2~ laser at 10.6 ฮผm are used to investigate bone ablation applications in otolaryngology. Quantitative measurements of mass removal and the ablation depth of cat skull bone and rat femur are presented with the Er:YAG laser at fluence
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
