Paper Abstract
Laser ablation experiments on hard tissues are performed by guiding combined beam of Ho:YAG and
Er:YAG laser light with a hollow optical fiber. An alumina ball is used as a hard-tissue model and ablation
phenomenon are observed by an ultra-high-speed camera. The result show that the two laser light give dissimilar
ablation effects due to different absorption coefficients in water contained in the tissues. When the two lasers are
combined and irradiate on the model, a high ablation rate is observed.
