Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser medical technology, and in particular to a precise medical laser device. Background Art
[0002] Laser irradiation of biological tissues will produce thermal, mechanical, photochemical and other effects, which can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Among them, infrared band lasers are mainly used for ablation of diseased tissues, and their ultimate goal is to effectively remove the diseased tissues while minimizing collateral damage to surrounding tissues. 980 nm lasers are often used for ablation of large organ tumors such as lung tumors and liver tumors. They have the characteristics of fast ablation speed and large collateral damage, but they are not suitable for high-precision clinical surgery. Existing studies have shown that the new mid-infrared laser overlaps with the protein amide-II absorption band. Compared with other wavelengths, this wavelength has minimal collateral damage and higher ablation efficiency when used for ablation of brain nerve tissues and eyes, and is suitable for fine resection of diseased tissues. However, existing technologies are difficult to achieve high-power output in this band. Moreover, it is difficult for common medical lasers to achieve multi-functional and multi-mode laser output, and it is impossible to meet the application requirements of a medical laser for different medical scenarios. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a medical laser source that can be used to achieve rough cutting, fine cutting, carbonization hemostasis / non-carbonization of diseased tissues, and at the same time include high-power laser output in the 1 μm~10 μm band.
