Abstract
A surgical laser system includes a laser, interchangeable peripheral output devices, a sensor effective to sense the power output of a peripheral device coupled to the sensor, and a control circuit for calibrating the radiation output of each device, interlocking the system to prevent use of a device before it has been calibrated, and controlling the production of calibration, aiming and main power laser beams.
