Laser ablation is an alternative to surgery with a scalpel. The process of laser ablation is used to vaporize tissue with laser light rather than cutting the tissue away with a scalpel.

What is the similarity between laser ablation and optical damage?

Optical damage can occur via different pathways, but if I imagine that with time, properties of thin films change (as a result of ambient conditions or the effects of the photons impinging on the surface) and hence absorbance may occur at the lasing wavelength. In the context of laser ablation, if absorbance, bond breakage, and ejection of material occurs then ablation has occured. This is signified by a audible report. From my experience, optical damage is typically not laser ablation but the result of gradual degradation of the optic - perhaps initiated by photons.

What is ablation?

Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of a body tissue, usually done through a medical procedure.

For what is used a pulsed laser?

A pulsed laser is used in various applications such as laser cutting, laser welding, laser marking, and laser ablation. The pulsed nature of the laser beam allows for precise control over the energy and duration of each pulse, making it ideal for tasks requiring high precision and minimal heat affected zones.


Can you cut ice with lasers?

Yes, lasers can be used to cut ice by rapidly melting it through a process called laser ablation. This involves focusing the laser beam onto the ice surface to generate enough heat to melt and vaporize it, allowing for precise cutting without physical contact.
