The high-speed liquid (water) jet has distinctive characteristics in surgical applications, such as tissue dissection without thermal damage and small blood vessel preservation, that make it advantageous over more conventional instruments. The continuous pressurized jet has been used since the first medical application of water jets to liver surgery in the 1980s, but exhibited drawbacks partly related...
This paper is primarily an assessment of laser-induced water jets for boring rock surfaces. It also reports the result of preliminary experiments of pulsed Ho:YAG laser-induced jets applied to drill a submerged rock specimen. The irradiation of pulsed Ho:YAG laser beams at 3 Hz inside a thin metal tube produces intermittent water vapor bubbles which result in liquid jet discharge from the exit of...
