“…10,11 High-intensity shockwaves are also capable of destroying osteocytes and blood cells. 12 High-intensity short-lived acoustic signals may also result in noise-induced hearing loss. 13 In this study, we measured photoacoustic transients created by XeCl laser ablation of porcine otic capsule, 14 and examined their frequency characteristics to determine its suitability for inner ear surgery.…”

Objective-This study identifies the presence of photoacoustic waves during excimer laser treatment of porcine otic capsule bone.Background Data-Pulsed ultraviolet lasers have been suggested for use in middle ear surgery due to their potential for fiberoptic delivery, decreased thermal trauma, and precise ablation characteristics. However, the short pulse width of excimer lasers (typically 10-150 ns) can create large thermoelastic stresses in the ablation specimen.
