LASER PHACOLYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract: methodology of phacoemulsification of a biological target such as a cataract with the use of a system including a laser diode configured to generate light in a millisecond pulsed regime and an optical fiber, while avoiding thermal diffusion of heat throughout the target. the used light has a wavelength within an absorption band of water and an average power within a milliwatt range; optionally, the output surface/facet of the optical fiber is curved and/or equipped with a termination configured to spatially converge output light upon propagating of such light through the termination.
