Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamically controlling laser pulses being output from a laser system. An example surgical system comprises a laser, an optical switching device, an adjustable input device such as a foot pedal, and a laser pulse controller. An operator actuates the adjustable input device over an operating range to control dynamically the laser pulses being output from the laser system. In one mode, the adjustable input device may dynamically control output laser energy. In another mode, the adjustable input device may dynamically control selection of laser pulses to be output from the system.

Dynamic laser pulse control

Systems and methods are disclosed for a surgical laser system with illumination. In some embodiments, a laser system comprises a surgical laser and an illumination source having their outputs combined into a fiber-optic cable and directed by the fiber-optic cable to a target surface. The illuminating visible light may be continuous and/or in pulses. Surgical laser pulses and illumination pulses may be synchronized for a stroboscopic effect. The laser system may also monitor laser electromagnetic radiation that is returned back through the fiber-optic cable.
