Abstract

Pre-ablative processes and destruction mechanisms of tissues under laser radiation are considered. It is shown that diffusion-limited processes of drying and carbonization may have a dramatic effect on the absorption and heating kinetics and on the change of laser ablation mechanisms. The manifestation conditions, advantages and disadvantages of various ablation mechanisms are discussed.
