Abstract:
A surgical laser system can include a fluorescent sensing assembly for detecting fluorescent signal from a tissue under a surgical operation of the surgical laser system. The surgical laser system can include an aiming laser assembly, which can be configured to provide excitation energy for the fluorescent process. The surgical laser system can include an infrared sensing assembly, which can provide temperature related data, for example, to prevent damages to the tissue due to overheating. The surgical laser system can be configured to use the off-time of the surgical laser for tissue sensing. Data from tissue sensing can be further analyzed by an integrated robotic surgical system to provide a highly precise surgical procedure.

Claim (Index 20):
A method to operate a surgical laser assembly, the method comprising\n using an aiming laser to provide excitation energy to a tissue,\n wherein the excitation energy is configured to generate fluorescent signal indicative of characteristics of the tissue; \n using the fluorescent signal to control a surgical laser for operating on the tissue,\n wherein an infrared signal from the tissue is used to determine a temperature or a rate of temperature of the tissue to control a power, a pulse rate, or a pulse width of the surgical laser to prevent thermal damage to the tissue, \n wherein a power of the surgical laser is set to maximum with power changing is achieved by changing laser pulse width of the surgical laser to increase off-time of the surgical laser for data collection.
