Abstract:
1. A system for ophthalmology or dermatology, comprising: a laser source unit having a fiber laser oscillator and amplifier for providing pulsed laser radiation having a pulse length in the femtosecond range, the laser source unit further including a pulse stretcher in optical communication with the fiber laser oscillator and amplifier, the pulse stretcher increasing the pulse length of the pulsed laser radiation to above 1 picosecond; a flexible light waveguide optically coupled at a first end to the laser source unit for receiving the pulsed laser radiation having a pulse length above 1 picosecond and guiding the pulsed laser radiation to a second end of the flexible light waveguide; and a hand piece coupled to the second end of the flexible light waveguide, the hand piece receiving the pulsed laser radiation from the flexible light waveguide and outputting a focused laser beam, wherein the hand piece includes:
