Abstract

The photoablation process of soft tissue with free-running infrared lasers (λ = 2.70 μm, 2.79 μm, 2.94 μm) is not well understood, in particular for temperature-dependent absorption. An evaporation model has been developed, solved by the finite-element method and compared with experimental results. Both, the ablation rates and the thermal damages can be explained by a pure vaporization process with huge influence of the temperature-dependent absorption. © Springer-Verlag 1997.
