Title
Evaluation Of Laser-Induced Plasma Ablation Focusing On The Difference In Pulse Duration
Abstract
A pulsed laser cause vaporization of tissue by plasma if a laser can provide high-density energy within a very short pulse duration. Such phenomena are called laser-induced plasma ablation. The influence of the laser-induced plasma ablation for tissue is unclear because the ablation mechanism is differing regardless of two lasers provide almost the same power density. The two kinds of lasers' vaporization mechanism (Nanosecond laser output could cause an optical breakdown in the air depending on power density and pulse duration of the laser and Femtosecond laser output could cause a breakdown only on solids surface since pulse irradiation time is shorter than energy transfer time) arc evaluated by using thermal damage and destruction of tissue. The experimental results show that nanosecond laser caused vaporization without thermal damage and destruction at the tissue approximant 300 mu m away from the ablation area. The pulsed laser which has high power density and longer pulse duration than energy transfer time is suitable for plasma ablation not depending on thermal process.
