Modeling of Skin Tissue Ablation by Nanosecond Pulses from Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared and Comparison with Experimental Results
Abstract
Comprehension of biological tissue ablation by short laser pulses in a broad optical spectrum is of fundamental importance to the understanding of laser-tissue interaction and advancing surgical applications of lasers. We report a new plasma ablation model in which the chromophore ionization pathway is incorporated to explain the skin tissue ablation by nanosecond laser pulses from ultraviolet to near-infrared. A rate equation is solved to …
