    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for laser-processing a material. In the embodiments, a diffraction-limited beam of pulsed laser radiation is diffracted by a diffraction device to generate a diffracted beam. The diffracted beam is subsequently focused onto the material and is controlled in time and space to irradiate the material at a target position with radiation from a set of radiation pulses of the diffracted beam so that each radiation pulse from the set of radiation pulses is incident at the target position with a cross-sectional portion of the diffracted beam, the cross-sectional portion including a local intensity maximum of the diffracted beam. The beam cross-sectional portions of at least a subset of the pulses of the set include each a different local intensity maxi-mum. In this way, a multi-pulse application for generating a photo-disruption at a target location of the material can be implemented.

    摘要: A method for energy setting of pulsed, focused laser radiation is provided. In the method, a relationship between a threshold pulse energy required for causing irreversible damage in a material and a pulse duration is established. The relationship allows for obtaining a threshold pulse energy for each of a plurality of pulse durations, including one or more pulse durations in a range between 200 fs and smaller. The relationship defines a decreasing threshold pulse energy for a decreasing pulse duration in the range between 200 fs and smaller. For a given pulse duration in the range between 200 fs and smaller, an associated threshold pulse energy is determined based on the established relationship. The pulse energy of the laser radiation is set based on the determined associated threshold pulse energy.

    摘要: A method for preparing an endothelial corneal graft is provided. The method comprises: providing a donor cornea; irradiating the donor cornea from an endothelial side thereof with laser radiation to cause a photodisruption in tissue of the donor cornea at a focal point of the radiation; and moving the focal point of the radiation to form an endothelial graft in the donor cornea. By irradiating the donor cornea from the endothelial side thereof, instead of the epithelial side, to cut the endothelial graft, optical inhomogeneities which may develop after death in stromal tissue of the donor cornea leave the laser cutting process substantially unaffected.
