摘要：

By using a novel temporal characterization technique, we determined that a threshold average laser power of 160 mW is required to drill through a 0.75-mm-thick cortical bone for a Nd: YVO(4) mode-locked laser oscillator with a peak intensity of 1.3 GW/cm(2). The ablation mechanism is identified as average-power induced carbonization followed by peak-power induced avalanche ionization in the carbonized osseous tissue.
