Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for forming curved cut surfaces in a transparent material, in particular in the cornea, by creating optical breakthroughs at different locations in the material by means of pulsed laser radiation focused in the material, the laser radiation being deflected two-dimensionally around the cut surface by stringing together to form the optical breakthroughs.
- the invention further relates to a device for forming curved cut surfaces in a transparent material, in particular in the cornea, with a pulsed laser radiation source which focuses laser radiation into the material and brings about optical breakthroughs there, a deflection device which deflects the laser radiation two-dimensionally and one Control devices are provided which control the deflection device in order to form the cut surface by lining up the optical openings in the material,
- Curved cut surfaces within a transparent material are produced in particular in laser surgical methods and there in particular in ophthalmic surgery. Thereby treatment laser radiation within the tissue i.e. focused below the tissue surface in such a way that optical breakthroughs occur in the tissue.
- the quality of the cut surface depends on the uniformity of the arrangement of the optical openings. This applies in particular to the eye surgery operations mentioned, which carry out a refractive correction, since there the quality of the cut surface is inextricably linked to the optical quality of the result obtained.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a method and a device for forming curved cutting surfaces of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a good quality of the optical cutting surface is possible while the cutting surface is formed as quickly as possible.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a method of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the two-dimensional deflection takes place in such a way that the locations of optical breakthroughs along a curve on which the optical breakthroughs are strung together are spaced apart according to an angular function related to the deflection, which are non-linear and is adapted to the curvature of the cut surface in such a way that the locations along the curve of adjacent optical breakthroughs are evenly spaced within a certain tolerance.
- the object is further achieved with a device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the control device controls the deflection device two-dimensionally in accordance with a deflection function in such a way that the locations of optical breakthroughs along a curve on which the optical breakthroughs are strung together in accordance with an angular function related to the deflection are spaced apart, which is non-linear and is adapted to the curvature of the cutting surface in such a way that the locations along the curve of adjacent optical openings are evenly spaced within a certain tolerance.
- the invention is based on a projection geometry in which equidistant angular distances of the deflection in a plane perpendicular to the main axis of incidence result in points lying equidistant.
- non-equidistant angular distances ensure that that the point distances in the plane vary perpendicular to the main axis of incidence so that the curved cut surface again provides equidistant locations of the optical breakthroughs.
- the invention achieves that in the curved cutting surface along a curve adjacent optical breakthroughs lie equidistant within precisely defined limits.
- the distance between such adjacent optical openings can now be set so that the smallest possible number of optical openings is sufficient to produce a desired curved cutting surface.
- the distance can be set reliably so that the optical breakthroughs can be joined together at the highest possible frequency without the risk of wanting to generate an optical breakthrough in vain in the not yet collapsed plasma bubble of the neighboring optical breakthrough.
- the invention leaves a great deal of freedom, it is only essential for the approach according to the invention that the breakthroughs lined up adjacent along a curve meet the geometric conditions mentioned above, the curve with the chronological order in which the breakthroughs were produced, can be linked and in particular can correspond to it.
- the concept according to the invention achieves that it is possible to work with a usually very simple two-axis deflection for the laser radiation producing the optical breakthroughs.
- any deflection that deflects the laser radiation in two directions can be considered as a two-dimensional deflection in the sense of the invention.
- a tilting mirror is usually used to deflect around two orthogonal axes.
- the axes are naturally somewhat spaced and perpendicular to the main axis of incidence of the radiation onto the object (e.g. eye).
- the object e.g. eye
- a basis of the two-dimensional deflection is obtained.
- the axes do not have to intersect; they do not have to be orthogonal in the projection mentioned; e.g. a deflection according to circular coordinates is also possible, as can be achieved using a wobble mirror or a rotating prism scanner.
- two bases to which the angular function is based can always be specified spanning a plane perpendicular to the main axis of incidence.
- the angle function is naturally adapted to the curvature of the cutting function. It is related to the two-dimensional deflection, indicates the location of an optical breakthrough with respect to the deflection (deflection point, bases of the deflection) and is therefore generally also two-dimensional. Depending on the type of deflection, this angular function can be separated into two one-dimensional angular functions.
- a separate angular function can be specified for each axis, which defines the angle between the deflection axis and a straight line from the intersection point of the center axis of the deflection axis to the location of the optical breakthrough.
- the crossing point can be understood as a deflection point for the deflection around the relevant deflection axis.
- a person skilled in the art can therefore obtain a specification for the angle function to be used, for example, by connecting locations lying equidistantly in the curved cutting surface to the deflection point.
- the invention allows the locations of the optical breakthroughs adjacent along a curve to be set at a precisely determined distance from one another by the deflection of the laser beam. Since the cut surface is generated by a two-dimensional deflection and usually the optical breakthroughs produce plasma bubbles with mostly spherical volumes, the distance between any adjacent locations of the optical breakthroughs in the cut surface depends on the arrangement of the optical breakthroughs in the cut surface, which can be understood as a flat lattice structure from. The distance of a certain optical breakthrough to its neighbors fluctuates more or less depending on the lattice structure. Due to this fluctuation, it is sometimes not absolutely necessary to set the exact same distance between the locations along the curve. Rather, it is sufficient to keep the distance constant within certain tolerance limits.
- the tolerance limits are advantageously chosen to be lower than the geometrically caused variation of the distances between the locations of immediately adjacent optical breakthroughs. A tolerance of 20% has proven to be favorable.
- the optical breakthroughs are generated by using pulsed laser radiation.
- the deflection results in the optical breakthroughs spaced apart by certain increments.
- the deflection function, according to which the deflection takes place, and the time interval between two successive pulses, ie the pulse frequency, also have an effect on the step width, ie the angular spacing of the optical breakthroughs. Both variables are thus equally suitable for setting the angular function according to the invention, keeping one constant while varying the others is also possible, such as a simultaneous variation of pulse repetition frequency and deflection function.
- a constant pulse repetition frequency proves to be technically particularly easy to implement when the laser radiation is provided. It is therefore preferable as a further development to provide the laser radiation in a uniformly pulsed manner and to carry out the deflection according to a deflection function which is non-linear in at least one direction, i.e. to be designed in such a way that the adjustment speed of the two-dimensional deflection depends on the deflection angle just present in order to implement the angle function according to the invention. This applies in particular to the case of deflection about two axes lying perpendicular to one another, which can be realized with particularly simple means.
- the laser beam is ideally deflected back and forth in parallel lines, and perpendicular to this, at the end of each line, the deflection changes around the other axis in order to achieve a line feed.
- the lines are of course not the same length. They lie further in order to take into account the curvature of the cut surface and to achieve the nonlinear angular function according to the invention, generally also not equidistant from one another; their spacing varies depending on the position of the line on the cut surface.
- the deflection for shifting the lines has to be adjusted as the progression on a line in order to obtain the angular function adapted to the curved cutting surface.
- a deflection is advantageous in particular for such cutting surfaces in the case of uniformly pulsed laser radiation, in which the deflection speed at the edge of the region of the cutting surface is lower than in the center, around that increasing at the edge of the region Inclination of the curved cutting surface to take into account the plane of the two-dimensional deflection.
- the step size occurring in a plane parallel to the two-dimensional deflection between adjacent openings can be set particularly easily in a particularly simple manner.
- cut surfaces curved with radius R in which the laser radiation is incident on the main axis of incidence in the material and is deflected biaxially along an x and a y axis in a plane perpendicular to this main axis of incidence, the plane in x-direction a step size dx is set between locations on the curve of adjacent optical breakthroughs, for which the following applies:
- the pulse frequency of the laser radiation at the edge of the area of the cut surface can be chosen higher than in the center.
- the meandering pattern described is a special case of a two-dimensional deflection with two deflection functions assigned to the coordinates of the two-dimensional deflection, one of the two deflection functions being parameterized with the coordinate with which the other of the two deflection functions is assigned.
- the device according to the invention is used to implement the method according to the invention and has a control device designed in this regard, which can be implemented, for example, with a suitably programmed computer and which controls the deflection device and further components of the device (eg focus adjustment).
- a particularly expedient implementation for the projection of the laser radiation into the material is a corrected F-theta optic which, when deflected out of a deflection point and linearly controlling the deflection, leads to a uniform course of the deflection parallel to the plane of the two-dimensional deflection.

- FIG. 8 shows two time series for controlling the biaxial deflection according to FIG. 4.
- the laser-surgical instrument 2 for treating an eye 1 of a patient, the laser-surgical instrument 2 being used to carry out a refractive correction.
- the instrument 2 emits a treatment laser beam 3 onto the eye of the patient 1, the head of which is fixed in a head holder 4.
- the laser surgical instrument 2 is able to generate a pulsed laser beam 2 so that the method described in US 6,110,166 can be carried out.
- the laser-surgical instrument 2 has a beam source S, the radiation of which is focused into the cornea 5 of the eye 1.
- a defective vision of the patient's eye 1 is remedied by means of the laser-surgical instrument 2 by removing material from the cornea 5 in such a way that the refractive properties of the cornea change by a desired amount.
- the material is taken from the stroma of the cornea, which lies below the epithelium and Bowman's membrane, above the Decemet's membrane and the endothelium.
- the material is removed by separating tissue layers in the cornea by focusing the high-energy pulsed laser beam 3 by means of focusing optics 6 in a focus 7 located in the cornea 5.
- Each pulse of the pulsed laser radiation 3 creates an optical breakthrough in the tissue, which initiates a plasma bubble 8.
- the tissue layer separation covers a larger area than the focus 7 of FIG Laser radiation 3.
- many plasma bubbles 8 are now strung together during the treatment.
- the adjacent plasma bubbles 8 then form a cut surface 9 which circumscribes a partial volume T of the stroma, namely the material to be removed from the cornea 5.
- the laser-surgical instrument 2 acts like a surgical knife which, without damaging the surface of the cornea 5, directly separates material layers inside the cornea 5. If the cut is made by further generating plasma bubbles 8 up to the surface of the cornea 5, a material of the cornea 5 isolated by the cut surface 9 can be pulled out laterally and thus removed.
- the generation of the cut surface 9 by means of the laser-surgical instrument 2 is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
- the cutting surface 9 is formed by lining up the plasma bubbles 8 as a result of the continuous deflection of the pulsed focused laser beam 3 and suitable focus adjustment.
- the deflection takes place by means of the deflection unit 10 shown schematically in FIG. 4, which deflects the laser beam 3 incident on the eye 1 on a main axis of incidence H about two axes lying perpendicular to one another.
- the deflection unit 10 uses a line mirror 11 and an image mirror 12, which leads to two spatial deflection axes lying one behind the other. The point of intersection of the main beam axis with the deflection axis is then the respective deflection point.
- the two deflection points for the two deflection axes are very closely spaced in relation to the distance between the deflection unit 10 and the cornea 5, the deflection axes can be regarded approximately as intersecting in a single deflection point.
- FIG. 5 shows a top view of the cutting area 13 of a cut to be made in the cornea 5, which is spherically curved. The projection of the two deflection axes, which intersect in the center 14 of the cutting area and are designated by x or y, is drawn on the cutting area 13.
- the deflection by the line mirror 11 causes a displacement of the laser beam along the x-axis (ie a deflection around the y-axis), whereas the actuation of the image mirror 12 causes a displacement along the y-axis (ie a deflection around the x-axis) has the consequence.
- the edges I, r are entered again in FIG. 3 for clarification.
- FIG. 3 In addition to the top view of the cutting area 13, FIG.
- the cut surface 9 in the cornea 5 is produced by lining up plasma bubbles 8 which are spaced equidistantly along the cut surface 9 at a distance d.
- the distance d is dependent on the diameter of the plasma bubble 8 generated with an optical breakthrough and is, for example, 3 ⁇ m.
- the series of plasma bubbles 8 is shown in the form of a line 15 in a plane perpendicular to the main axis of incidence of the deflection axes.
- the main axis of incidence is defined by the beam falling on the center 14.
- the decrease in the distance d ' is brought about by a non-linear actuation of the line mirror 11 and is selected such that the uniform distance d between the plasma bubbles 8 is established in the cut surface 9 of the cornea 5.
- the locations of the disruption bubbles are consequently arranged according to a non-linear angular function.
- the angular function in the x direction is selected such that, despite the curvature of the cut surface 9, the plasma bubbles 8 are equidistant in the cut surface 9.
- the spacing d 'along the (straight) line 15 which varies as a result of the angular function thus causes a predistortion of the spacings which, together with the curvature of the cut surface 9, achieve the constant spacing d between the locations of the plasma bubbles 8 which were written along the line.
- FIG. 6 shows the control of the line mirror 11 required for line 15 as a time series.
- FIG. 6 shows the line deflection angle ⁇ , which is identical to the line coordinate x due to the uniformly pulsed radiation source S and the F-theta correction of the optics. In the case of uneven pulsed laser radiation, this assignment no longer applies, which is why the ultimately decisive line deflection angle ⁇ is plotted for the generality of the illustration in FIG. 6.
- the linear course 17 is also plotted in FIG. 6, but this is not used in the control of the line level 11.
- the line mirror 11 is activated between two times t0 and t1 according to a line function 16 which is symmetrical about an average value ⁇ O and deviates from a linear function 17.
- the line mirror 11 is positioned so that the laser beam 3 falls on the left edge I.
- the deflected laser beam 3 is on the right edge r.
- Due to the line function 16 flattening towards the edge the line mirror 11 moves at a lower speed at the edge of the cutting area 13, as a result of which the plasma bubbles 8 move closer together, i.e. the distance d 'decreases towards the edges l and r. Because of the curvature of the cut surface 9, the overall result is that the distance d between the plasma bubbles 8 in the cornea 5 is constant.
- the line 15 of FIG. 5 and the line function 16 are shown in FIG. 6 for the simplified case of a deflection running through the center 14.
- the maximum deflection of the line mirror 11 must of course be adapted to the current position of the image mirror 12.
- the line function 16 here with the y value, i.e. is parameterized with the position of the image mirror 12.
- Figure 7 shows an example of a corresponding family of curves on line functions 16.
- the slope of the line function 16 decreases with increasing y-value, at the same time the line opening angle, i.e. the difference between the maximum and minimum line deflection angle ⁇ .
- the design of course depends in individual cases on the cut surface 9 and the correction of the optics.
- the line mirror 11 is thus controlled by a control function, the course of which depends on the position of the image mirror 12.
- FIG. 8 shows the course of the line deflection angle ⁇ in two time series (in the exemplary embodiment identical to or proportional to the x-coordinate) and an image deflection angle ⁇ , which in the described embodiment with a constant pulsed beam source S is identical to or proportional to the y-coordinate.
- the cutting area 13 is scanned from top to bottom.
- the image mirror 13 is constantly set to a deflection at the upper edge of the cutting area 1 " 3, as the image function 18 shows.
- the line mirror 11 is non-linearly adjusted over a small area.
- the time course of the control function and thus the deflection angle depends the curvature of the cut surface.
- the image mirror 12 moves to the next line according to the image function 18, and the line mirror again performs a non-linear line movement, whereby it was first returned to the left edge of the cutting area 13.
- the deflection now effected by means of the line mirror 18 is likewise non-linear, but via a line opening angle that is larger than that of the previous deflection.
- the image mirror is placed in the third line at time t2, the change in angle caused thereby being greater than in the previous lines, since adjacent lines are not equidistant from the angle. This procedure is shown in FIG. 8 up to line 15 of FIG. 5, with only 5 lines in FIG. 8 being included for the sake of simplicity.
- the lines can also be strung together in a meandering fashion, the line function 16 is then inverted between the sections t1 and t2 as well as t3 and t4.
