explosions generate mechanical disruptive forces the disruptive forces when applied to the biological target result in a cutting effect on the surface of the target the laser energy 102 is at a wavelength and energy level sufficient to excite micro explosions in water molecules but not at levels sufficient to damage biological tissue in the example system typical values for total laser energy energy emitted by all fibers per laser pulse may range from about 0 05 j to about 2 0 j and the energy may be generated with a wavelength ranging from about 2 75 u03bcm to about 3 00 u03bcm the fluid particles injected into the interaction zone perform a number of purposes some of the fluid particles absorb beams of light explode and impart a mechanical disruptive force to the target remaining portions of the fluid particles reduce the temperature surrounding the explosion so that living cells adjacent the target area will not be exposed to the extreme heat resulting in cell necrosis and death very efficient tissue cutting without adjacent cells necrosis can be achieved using this technology in the example system individual beams are arranged parallel to each other in the same plane creating a linear segment of beams at a target that are sequential fired this reduces the likelihood of a manual sweeping action being used to cut through tissue resulting in an efficient and accurately.
