Mechanism Study of Porcine Skin Ablation by Nanosecond Laser Pulses at 1064, 532, 266, and 213 nm
Abstract
The ablation mechanism of fresh porcine skin has been studied using nanosecond laser pulses at the wavelengths of 1064, 532, 266, and 213 nm. We have identified the Na spectral line at 589 nm in the secondary radiation from the ablated skin sample as the signature of tissue ablation and measured the ablation probability near ablation threshold. Ablation depth per pulse has been measured by histological examination of ablated skin samples. …
