Abstract

The pulsed Ho:YAG laser is being used for a number of medical procedures such as orthopedics, ophthalmology, and angioplasty because of the strong tissue absorption at its lasing wavelength (2.1 μm) and easy silica fiber-optic delivery of the laser energy. Several recent studies have been conducted to examine the tissue effects of the Ho:YAG laser. However, the interaction between Ho:YAG pulses and biological fluids (such as saline, blood, and vitreous) is not well understood.
