摘要:
In general, in one aspect, the invention features systems, including a photonic crystal fiber (120) including a core (210) extending along a waveguide axis and a dielectric confinement region (220) surrounding the core, the dielectric confinement region (220) being configured to guide radiation along the waveguide axis from an input end to an output end of the photonic crystal fiber (120). The systems also includes a handpiece (680) attached to the photonic crystal fiber (120), wherein the handpiece allows an operator to control the orientation of the output end to direct the radiation to a target location of a patient.
摘要:
An optical radiation delivery structure including a waveguide conduit having a surgical access portion and a handle portion. The handle portion includes a gripping portion and a waveguide lock, which is configured to have only a locked state and an unlocked state. In some embodiments, the handle portion includes a gripping portion and a counterbalance region, such that a center of mass of the waveguide conduit is disposed towards a proximal end of the waveguide conduit.
