Abstract

Temperature measurement is demanded for retinal laser treatment with pulse durations of 5µs and longer to take pigmentation variations of the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid into account. An optoacoustic technique to determine the maximum temperature at the end of an irradiation with a single microsecond laser pulse was investigated. A 15W diode laser with 514nm and variable pulse duration was used to irradiate porcine RPE. Gradients of the laser pulse flanks >10W/µs excite pressure transients. Optoacoustic temperature measurements were possible. Cell damage was found at maximum temperatures around 80°C at pulse durations of 35µs and to 50µs.
