Application: Laser fiber-to-target distance control (Patent ID: US20240156527A1)
The patent filed by Olympus Corp. describes systems, devices, and methods for determining the distance between the distal end of an endoscope and a target during an endoscopic procedure using a surgical laser feedback control system. The feedback analyzer receives reflected signals from the target in response to directed electromagnetic radiation and determines the distance based on these signals. The controller then generates a control signal to the surgical laser system to perform a specific operation based on the determined distance. The system includes multiple laser sources, an optical fiber for delivering the laser output to the target, and a controller that selectively activates the laser sources based on the determined characteristics of the target, such as type or composition, and treatment objectives like tissue coagulation or ablation.
The method outlined in the patent involves directing electromagnetic radiation at a target in a patient's anatomy, analyzing the reflected signal to determine the target's characteristics, selectively activating multiple laser sources based on these characteristics, and producing a combined laser output for delivery to the target. The activation of the laser sources can occur at different times or overlap in time, and the outputs can vary in terms of power, wavelength, or pulse shape. Additionally, the method allows for deactivating laser sources as needed and is further based on user input received through a user interface. Overall, the patent details a sophisticated surgical laser system and method that offer precise control and customization for various types of laser treatments during endoscopic procedures.
