Application: Laser fiber-to-target distance control (Patent ID: US20240156527A1)
The patent filed by Olympus Corp. describes systems, devices, and methods for determining the distance between the distal end of an endoscope and a target during an endoscopic procedure using a surgical laser feedback control system. The feedback analyzer receives reflected signals from the target in response to directed electromagnetic radiation and determines the distance based on these signals. The controller then generates a control signal to the surgical laser system to perform a specific operation based on the determined distance. The system includes multiple laser sources that can be selectively activated based on the determined characteristic of the target, such as type or composition, to produce a combined laser output delivered to the target. The controller can activate the laser sources at different times or deactivate them as needed, and the user interface allows for user input to approve or modify the activation of the laser sources.
Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated surgical laser system that can analyze reflected signals from a target to determine characteristics and adjust the laser output accordingly for precise and effective treatment during endoscopic procedures. The system's ability to selectively activate multiple laser sources based on the target's type or composition, treatment objective, and user input through a user interface enhances the precision and customization of laser treatment, making it a valuable innovation in the field of surgical procedures involving laser technology.
