Abstract

Single-mode thulium fiber laser (TFL) at 1.94 mu m with optimal energy and pulse settings has potential benefits for lithotripsy over the presently used Ho:YAG laser. A fiber Bragg grating-based, all-fiber, continuous-wave and modulated TFL at 1.94 mu m is configured to deliver up to 30 W of laser power with efficiency of 50%. The TFL operating in the range of repetition rate 10 Hz-1 kHz and corresponding pulse energy 2 J-1.05 mJ is irradiated on urinary stone for in-vitro evaluation of fragmented particle size and retropulsion. TFL irradiation at higher repetition rate fragments the stones into smaller particle size (average size of few hundreds microns) resulting reduced retropulsion.
