Probe-and-fire lasers
A surgical laser system is described for operating on a treatment site comprising: a fiber optical means having a proximal end and a distal end positionable in operative proximity to the treatment site; a treatment laser source optically connected to the proximal end of the fiber optical means; a diagnostic radiation source connected to the proximal end of the fiber optical means for irradiating the treatment site; a responding radiation detector means connected to the proximal end of the fiber optical means for generating a control signal when detecting a particular radiation in response to being irradiated by the diagnostic radiation source from the treatment site; and means for controlling the treatment laser source to operate only when the radiation detector means emits the control signal.
