Evaluation of Tm fiber laser as a prospective energy source for fractional treatment in gynecological applications

We investigated regimes of Tm fiber laser suitable for non-ablative soft tissue fractional treatment in animal model ex vivo. We have compared resulting temperature fields with those produced by Er:YAG laser and identified Tm fiber laser parameters allowing to closely match temperature effects of the two lasers. These data suggest feasibility of using Tm fiber laser as energy source for a number of applications in gynecology.
