Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamically controlling laser pulses being output from a laser system. An example surgical system comprises a laser, an optical switching device, an adjustable input device such as a foot pedal, and a laser pulse controller. An operator actuates the adjustable input device over an operating range to control dynamically the laser pulses being output from the laser system. In one mode, the adjustable input device may dynamically control output laser energy. In another mode, the adjustable input device may dynamically control selection of laser pulses to be output from the system.
