Based on our success in developing the world first commercial 100 micro Joule femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading proprietary technology development in ultrashort pulsed fiber laser material processing, PolarOnyx proposes, for the first time, a compact high energy fiber laser based smart surgical tool to meet with the requirement of this Army solicitation. It includes a high energy eye safer fs fiber laser and a sensing system for real time identification and ablation of various materials such as tissues, hard tissues, and metals. A proof of concept experiment for protocols and algorithms has been demonstrated in Phase I time frame. A prototype will be delivered in Phase II.
