Abstract
A system for analyzing a reflected signal during a laser procedure can include a surgical scope. A first light source emitter can be configurable to emit a first signal having a first (e.g., a non-visible) spectrum. A second light source emitter can be configurable to emit a second signal having a second spectrum (e.g., a visible or infrared (IR) spectrum). Each of the first or the second light source emitters can be coupled to or included within the surgical scope. The system can include an optical sensor configurable to detect and analyze a third signal returned from the surface of an object in response to the emitted second signal. The returned third signal can be analyzed to determine whether a reflected absolute or relative intensity or an absolute or relative spectral signature meets at least one criterion, thereby triggering at least one of: warning a user or adjusting the first signal.
