| titleOfInvention | Apparatus for controlling laser penetration depth |
| abstract | The invention features systems and tools for controlling the optical penetration depth (OPD) of laser energy, e.g., when delivering laser energy to target tissue in a patient. The systems and tools control the OPD by controlling the incident angle at which the laser energy (364) is delivered to the target area of the patient. Embodiments of the invention include an optical coupler (368) that permits a user to vary the incident angle and thereby selectably control the OPD of incident laser energy (364). Fabricating the optical coupler (368) to have a refractive index greater than that of the target tissue can enhance the range of selectable OPDs. The laser energy (364), which is delivered to the desired depth, can cause alteration of the target tissue by, e.g., heating, ablation, and/or photochemical reaction. |
