<p>A medical diode laser system which allows for simultaneous transmission of at least two wavelengths radiation of a suitable wavelength for tissue cutting or ablating is coupled into an inner fiber core (16) to produce an output beam with sufficient power density for ablation. Radiation of a suitable wavelength for tissue (11) coagulation is introduced into an outer fiber core (15) to produce another output beam with a lower power density appropriate for coagulation. The outer fiber core (15) surrounding the inner fiber core (16) has a refractive index less than the inner fiber core (16), thereby functioning as cladding for the inner core (16). Cladding that has a refractive index that is less than the outer fiber core (15) surrounds the outer fiber core (15). Material functioning as an intermediary cladding separates the outer and inner fiber cores. In this embodiment, the inner core has a larger refractive index than the inner cladding (35) which in turn has a lower refractive index than the outer core (15).</p> |
