    摘要: In certain embodiments, a laser device for laser processing of an eye comprises a source of a pulsed laser beam, a detector system that photodetects partial beams generated from the laser beam, and a control unit that evaluates the detection signals. A first detection element of the detector system provides a first detection signal based on single-photon absorption. A second detection element provides a second detection signal based on two-photon absorption. The control unit puts the measured signal strengths of the two detection signals into a ratio to one another. Variations in the resulting ratio value may be traced back to variations in the pulse duration and/or wave front of the laser beam. The control unit may initiate countermeasures to maintain the beam quality of the laser beam.

    摘要: A method for energy setting of pulsed, focused laser radiation is provided. In the method, a relationship between a threshold pulse energy required for causing irreversible damage in a material and a pulse duration is established. The relationship allows for obtaining a threshold pulse energy for each of a plurality of pulse durations, including one or more pulse durations in a range between 200 fs and smaller. The relationship defines a decreasing threshold pulse energy for a decreasing pulse duration in the range between 200 fs and smaller. For a given pulse duration in the range between 200 fs and smaller, an associated threshold pulse energy is determined based on the established relationship. The pulse energy of the laser radiation is set based on the determined associated threshold pulse energy.

    摘要: A process for producing an interface unit and also a group of such interface units are specified. The interface unit exhibits a first reference surface for beaming in radiation, a second reference surface for emitting the radiation, and an axis extending in the direction from the first to the second reference surface. The production process comprises the steps of setting an optical path length of the interface unit between the first and second reference surfaces along the axis and the fixing of the set optical path length of the interface unit. The optical path length of the interface unit is set in such a way that radiation of a defined numerical aperture beamed in at the first reference surface exhibits a focus location that is predetermined with respect to the second reference surface in the direction of the axis. A precise and uniform focus location with respect to the second reference surface is obtained.
