Claim:
1. A laser apparatus comprising: a semiconductor laser source configured to generate pulsed laser radiation having an ultrashort pulse duration in the femtosecond range or shorter and having a pulse repetition rate of at least 100 MHz; a selector configured to select groups of pulses from the laser radiation, each pulse group comprising a plurality of pulses at a pulse repetition rate of at least 100 MHz, wherein the pulse groups have a group repetition rate of no more than 1 MHz and are time-displaced by at least 500 ns; a scanner device configured to scan a focal point of the pulsed laser radiation; a controller configured to control the scanner device based on a control program including instructions that, when executed by the controller, bring about the creation of a LIOB-based photodisruption in human eye tissue for each pulse group.
