Abstract
A method for treating a vascular lesion within or adjacent to a vessel wall within a body of a patient by generating a plasma that creates pressure waves adjacent to the vascular lesion, includes the steps of (i) generating light energy in the form of a source beam with a single light source; (ii) positioning a multiplexer in a beam path of the source beam, the multiplexer including an optical element; (iii) receiving the source beam with the optical element of the multiplexer; (iv) splitting the source beam into a first guide beam and a second guide beam with the optical element of the multiplexer; (v) directing the first guide beam to a first light guide with the multiplexer; and (vi) directing the second guide beam to a second light guide with the multiplexer.
