Abstract

A system for fragmenting an eye lens nucleus has a first laser radiation source 30, configured to irradiate the eye lens nucleus with first radiation 32 suitable for Brillouin spectroscopy; an apparatus 36 for performing Brillouin spectroscopy with radiation scattered back from the eye lens nucleus in order to acquire Brillouin scattering measured data; a processing unit 50 in or from which correlations between Brillouin scattering measured data and parameters of a second radiation 52 suitable for fragmenting the eye lens nucleus 12 are stored or derived; and a second laser radiation source 44 having radiation guiding means 40, configured to irradiate the eye lens nucleus 12 with the second radiation with the parameters correlated with the Brillouin scattering measured data of the irradiated eye lens nucleus 12, in order to fragment the eye lens nucleus.
