Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of a surgical laser system comprise a laser source (102), a laser fiber (104), a photodetector (106) and a controller (108). The laser source is configured to generate laser energy (1 10). The laser fiber is optically coupled to the laser source and is configured to discharge the laser energy generated by the laser source. The photodetector is configured to generate an output signal (1 12) that is indicative of an intensity level of electromagnetic energy feedback (114) that is produced in response to the discharge of the laser energy. The controller is configured to control the laser source based on the output signal.
