“…The ANSI Z136.1 standard 7 on laser safety treats femtosecond mode-locked (ml) lasers with high-repetition frequency as being no more damaging to tissues than continuous-wave (cw) lasers of the same wavelength. This principle has been shown to hold true experimentally in conditions that lead to thermal damage from femtosecond 8 and picosecond 9,10 pulsed lasers. In the photochemical regime, however, there is the possibility of chemical effects by modelocked beams at low average powers, given their higher photon densities.…”

“…Les premières données expérimentales montraient que les mécanismes de dommage non linéaires ne sont pas influencés par la longueur d'onde, la durée de l'impulsion et la dimension de l'image rétinienne de la même manière que les mécanismes de dommage thermique ou thermo-acoustique. Des études histologiques de grandes et petites plages de rétine, exposées à des impulsions variant de quelques picosecondes à quelques centaines de femtosecondes et à différentes longueurs d'onde, ont montré toutefois que les effets observés sur la rétine sensorielle ont toujours pour origine les granules de mélanine de l'épithé-lium pigmentaire rétinien Courant et al, 1998Courant et al, , 1999a. D'autres études ont permis de tester différents modèles de mécanisme lésionnel basés sur des mécanismes de cavitation et de variation de pression (Cain et al, , 1998Gertsman et al, 1996;Hammer et al, 1997;Strauss et al, 1997 ;Lin et Kelly, 1998 ;Bnnkmann et al, 1999).…”
