    Abstract: A laser apparatus for use in a surgical procedure including a housing forming a part of a handpiece and including interior and exterior regions. A laser cavity extending within the interior region of the housing. A cooling arrangement generating a stream of a first coolant. A precooling unit containing a second concentrated coolant. The cooling arrangement communicates with the precooling unit, so that a cooling stream having thermal calorific capacity higher than the thermal calorific capacity of the first coolant enters the laser cavity. The apparatus has a source of a beam of one or more laser pulses in which each pulse has a pulse width equal to or less than a pulse width value corresponding to a change in slope of a curve of fluence breakdown threshold (Fth) as a function of laser pulse width (T), the change occurring at a point between first and second portions of the curve, the first portion spanning a range of relatively long pulse width where Fth varies with the square root of pulse width (T½) and the second portion spanning a range of short pulse width relative to the first portion with Fth versus T slope which differs from that of the first portion; and an optical system focusing the one or more pulses of the beam to a point above the surface of the tissue to cause laser induced break down of the tissue.
