Claim 13:
14. A method for using a photo-thermal targeted treatment system for damaging a target embedded in a medium, the system including a laser, the method including:
1) Defining a set of parameters for a series of light pulses to be generated by the laser, the set of parameters including a preset power level, preset pulse length, a preset interval between consecutive pulses, and a number of light pulses;
2) Generating the series of light pulses, in accordance with the set of parameters as defined, wherein each pulse of said series of light pulses comprise a flat top pulse; and
3) Administering the series of light pulses to the medium in a scanned fashion over a preset area according to a treatment protocol; wherein the treatment protocol comprises
administering a pre-conditioning procedure for preheating the target and the medium, and a photo-thermal treatment procedure, wherein the pre-conditioning procedure and the photo-thermal treatment procedure are both administered using the laser, without changing the preset power level and the preset interval between consecutive pulses; and
cooling the medium with a cooling unit while administering the treatment protocol.
