Excimer-laser-induced fluorescence of rabbit cornea: Radiometric measurement through the cornea

The laser‐induced fluorescence spectrum of rabbit cornea irradiated at ablative intensities was measured. This system directly measured the radiant exposure of fluorescence transmitted through the cornea when the anterior surface of the cornea was irradiated by an ArF excimer laser. Evidence of chan...

Zusammenfassung:	The laser‐induced fluorescence spectrum of rabbit cornea irradiated at ablative intensities was measured. This system directly measured the radiant exposure of fluorescence transmitted through the cornea when the anterior surface of the cornea was irradiated by an ArF excimer laser. Evidence of changing spectral characteristics as a function of total laser dose suggests photochemical changes in the cornea may be occurring. Results are compared with previous data of laser‐induced fluorescence in other models and detection schemes.
