We created corneal incisions in eye bank eyes with a pulsed hydrogen fluoride infrared laser. This laser was selected because its emission spectrum (2.7 to 3.0 micron) closely corresponds to the absorption peak of water in the infrared region. Short pulses (200 nsec) of hydrogen fluoride laser light focused with a cylindrical lens resulting in radiant exposures of 1.3 J/cm2 at the corneal surface created linear cuts in the cornea with minimal thermal damage adjacent to the incision, suggesting that the pulsed hydrogen fluoride laser may be useful for corneal surgery.
我们使用脉冲氟化氢红外激光在眼库眼球上制作角膜切口。选择这种激光是因为其发射光谱（2.7至3.0微米）与红外区域水的吸收峰密切对应。用柱面透镜聚焦的氟化氢激光短脉冲（200纳秒）在角膜表面产生1.3 J/cm2的辐射暴露，在角膜上形成线性切口，切口附近的热损伤最小，这表明脉冲氟化氢激光可能对角膜手术有用。
