ABSTRACT:
A long pulse alexandrite laser for treating dermatological specimens is disclosed. The use of alexandrite allows operation in the near-infrared, specifically in a 50 nm range surrounding 755. Infrared in this range allows good penetration while still achieving an acceptable ratio of hemoglobin to melanin absorption In addition, a method and related system for treating biologic tissue with pulse light includes generating a long effective output light pulse comprising a series of sub-pulses having a fractional duty cycle over a selected effective pulse duration, a periodicity that is less than the thermal relaxation time of a targeted structure, and an interpulse-delay between successive sub-pulses that is greater than the thermal relaxation time of non-targeted structures within the treatment area; and delivering the output light to the tissue of a patient.
