Abstract:
An ophthalmic laser apparatus includes components for providing a first pulsed laser beam (140) having beam properties matched to the ablation of corneal material and for providing a second pulsed laser beam (290) having beam properties matched to the making of an incision in the ocular tissue. The components include separate laser-sources (110, 130) for generating the two laser beams and also a plurality of optical elements which guide the two laser beams on separate beam paths to a respective beam exit location and focus them to a focal point situated outside the beam exit location. In accordance with the invention, the optical elements include an optical waveguide (250) serving for guidance of the second laser beam, at least the two laser-sources being accommodated in a common housing (340) and the optical waveguide extending within the housing at least over a part of its length.
