Abstract:In order to provide a direct comparison of the damage thresholds for mode-locked systems to those with continuous-wave (CW) or non-pulsed output, we have performed an experiment with lasers possessing otherwise identical output characteristics. Our work presents an in-vivo minimal visible lesion (MVL) study. Titanium:Sapphire lasers produced 800-nm output for either mode-locked (76 MHz repetition rate, 120 femtosecond) or continuous-wave exposures. Alternating laser exposures were delivered to the paramacular … Show more
