Patent EP-2210575-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LIN CHARLES P
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: Selective photocoagulation of particular cells, tissue or portion of tissue can be aided by monitoring microcavitation within the material exposed to electromagnetic radiation (12). The information gained by the detection of microcavitation events can be used to modulate the intensity of the radiation (12) to prevent significant thermal energy transmission and mechanical damage to cells, tissues or portions of tissues which are not directly exposed, but prone to thermal damage by such energy transmission. Detection of microcavitation also serves as a valuable therapeutic endpoint. The methods of the invention are applicable to laser eye surgery, since the target cells of several therapeutic photocoagulation methods, the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are proximate to photoreceptor cells. The inventive methods can help prevent the formation of blind spots that can be associated with laser eye surgery. Other fields of laser surgery can also be readily adapted to the methods described herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated anode and activated reactive gas source (20) for use in a magnetron sputtering device (10) and a magnetron sputtering device incorporating the same. The integrated anode and activated reactive gas source (20) comprises a vessel having an interior conductive surface (22), comprising the anode, and an insulated outer body (26) isolated from the chamber walls (32) of the coating chamber (2). The vessel has a single opening (21) with a circumference smaller that that of the vessel in communication with the coating chamber (2). Sputtering gas and reactive gas are coupled through an input (29) into the vessel and through the single opening (21) into the coating chamber (2). A plasma is ignited by the high density of electrons coming from the cathode (12) and returning to the power supply through the anode (22). A relatively low anode voltage is sufficient to maintain a plasma of activated reactive gas to form stoichiometric dielectric coatings.
