Abstract

The ablation of soft tissue with pulsed IR-lasers is a thermal evaporation process. The influence of the temperature dependence of the optical absorption coefficient is not yet really understood [1,2]. Until now UV-photoablation of soft tissue has been supposed to be based upon photochemical mechanisms. Recent experimental results also allow a thermal interpretation [3].
