Abstract
A device and a method for using laser energy for treatment of tissue, which can include generating short bursts of energy at a range of pulse repetition rates. The method comprises selective surface and/or three-dimensional interactions for therapeutic use and/or to modify or remove tissue from targets. The device and method can subsurface disruptions in tissue at selected depths and densities.
