Abstract:
A system and method for treating ophthalmic target tissue, including a light source for generating a beam of light, a beam delivery system that includes a scanner for generating patterns, and a controller for controlling the light source and delivery system to create a dosimetry pattern of the light beam on the ophthalmic target tissue. One or more dosage parameters of the light beam vary within the dosimetry pattern, to create varying exposures on the target tissue. A visualization device observes lesions formed on the ophthalmic target tissue by the dosimetry pattern. The controller selects dosage parameters for the treatment beam based upon the lesions resulting from the dosimetry pattern, either automatically or in response to user input, so that a desired clinical effect is achieved by selecting the character of the lesions as determined by the dosimetry pattern lesions.

Abstract:
A method of performing therapy on target tissue in a patient's eye of an embodiment uses an ophthalmic treatment system having a light source for producing treatment light and a delivery system for delivering the treatment light to the patient's eye. The method includes steps of: obtaining a sample treatment pattern of spots of the treatment light for projection onto the patient's eye; causing to be displayed the sample treatment pattern; receiving user instruction to add or subtract spots from the sample treatment pattern to produce a new treatment pattern; producing treatment light; and deflecting the treatment light to produce the new treatment pattern for projection onto the patient's eye.

Abstract:
A system and method for delivering stable light to a remote location are provided. The method includes splitting a laser beam generated by a laser into a reference beam and a delivery beam. The delivery beam is coupled into an optical fiber for delivery to the remote location. A reflected portion of the delivery beam comes back as a reflected delivery beam from the remote location through the optical fiber. An interference beam is generated by combining the reference beam and the reflected delivery beam. A phase difference between the reference beam and the reflected delivery beam is detected in order to adjust a phase of the laser beam based on the phase difference to reverse a phase shift of the delivery beam induced by noise added to the delivery beam while the delivery beam is transmitted through the optical fiber.
