Abstract

An apparatus having an excitation source that includes at least one laser diode and also having a handpiece with a disposable, bendable tip cannula is disclosed. The bendable tip can include a pliable material possessing a treatment characteristic of being bendable by a user three or more times without kinking from a generally straight orientation to a self-supporting bent configuration spanning an angle of at least forty degrees while remaining fully operational.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 698,345, filed Jan. 25, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to devices for generating output optical energy distributions and, more particularly, to lasers.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]A variety of laser systems have existed in the prior art. A solid-state laser system generally comprises a laser rod for emitting coherent light and a stimulation source for stimulating the laser rod to emit the coherent light. Flashlamps are typically used as stimulation sources for laser systems, for example, but diodes may be used as well for the excitation source. The use of diodes for generating light amplification by stimulated emission is discussed in the book Solid-State Laser Engineering, Fourth Extensively Revised and Updated Edition, by Walter...
