In the embodiment of the invention, the femtosecond laser can be specifically a high repetition frequency femtosecond laser between 800 nanometers and 1100 nanometers.
In the embodiment of the invention, the deep ultraviolet laser is a 213 nanometer pulse laser with Nd: YAG frequency doubling, and can generate the deep ultraviolet pulse laser with the wavelength of 190-213 nanometers by using a solid laser through a frequency conversion technology.
In the practical application process, one of the 213 nanometer laser or the deep ultraviolet nanometer laser is selected at will.
In the practical application process, the first reflecting mirror has two states, wherein the first state can transmit 213 nanometers of laser to the second laser transmission device, and the second state can transmit 1053 nanometers of femtosecond laser to the second laser transmission device.
Alternatively, the first state of the first mirror may reflect 1053 nm laser light and transmit 213 nm laser light, and the second state of the first mirror may reflect 213 nm and transmit 1053 nm.
In this case, in the practical application process, the first mirror may be set to the second state by default, and even if one or more of the two lasers are started, the laser will not reach the eyeball position, so that misoperation may be avoided. In the operation process of the system, the femtosecond laser can be started first, the first reflecting mirror is set to be in a second state, 1053 nanometer femtosecond laser generated by the femtosecond laser reaches the eyeball position through reflection of the first reflecting mirror to finish cutting at the middle layer of the cornea, and then the deep ultraviolet nanometer laser is started, so that 213 nanometer laser generated by the deep ultraviolet nanometer laser reaches the eyeball position through transmission of the first reflecting mirror to cut the cornea.
Alternatively, the first state of the first mirror may be transmissive to 213 nm laser light and the second state may be reflective to 1053 nm laser light.
In this case, in the practical application process, the femtosecond laser may be started first, and the first mirror is adjusted to have a reflection function, so that the laser beam generated by the femtosecond laser is reflected into the second laser transmission device by the first mirror and finally transmitted to the eyeball, and cutting is performed on the middle layer of the cornea of the eyeball, and then the femtosecond laser is turned off. Starting 213 nanometer laser or deep ultraviolet nanometer laser, adjusting the first reflector to a transmission function, transmitting laser beams into the second laser transmission device through the first reflector, finally transmitting the laser beams to eyeballs, and cutting the cornea.
Specifically, the first reflecting mirror may be a lens with two sides having different curvatures, so that one side reflects the received light beam, and the other side transmits the received light beam, and in practical application, the first reflecting mirror may be turned over and angle adjusted to implement the conversion between the two states.
Specifically, the first reflecting mirror can also form a lens system by using a plurality of lenses, and the conversion of the two states is realized by adjusting parameters such as the number, the position, the curvature and the like of the lenses.
In embodiments of the present invention, the large numerical aperture focusing lens group functions to focus the beam onto a very small spot or area. Such lens groups are typically composed of a plurality of lenses to achieve more complex optical functions.
Specifically, the roles of a large numerical aperture focusing lens group include:
High numerical aperture-large numerical aperture means that the diameter and focal length of the lens are relatively large, which means that a larger range of incident light can be received. This design allows the focusing lens group to collect more light and to handle larger angles of incidence, improving the collection efficiency of the light and the luminous flux of the lens system.
High resolution the large numerical aperture focusing lens group can provide higher resolution, i.e. can focus light more clearly, resulting in a smaller size of the focal point. This is important for applications requiring high precision imaging or high resolution, such as microscopy, laser writing, optical sensors, etc.
Optical correction the focusing lens group can correct optical distortion by combining lenses of different curvatures and shapes. This includes spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, and the like. By optimizing the design and combination of the lens groups, better optical performance can be achieved, and imaging quality and definition of the focusing point can be improved.
Beam shape adjustment the large numerical aperture focusing lens group can also adjust the shape of the beam by the shape and combination of lenses. For example, by using an aspherical lens or a non-uniform lens curvature, adjustment of the beam shape, such as converting a circular beam into an elliptical beam, can be achieved.
In the embodiment of the invention, the second laser transmission device comprises an X-Y scanning mirror and a focusing lens.
In the embodiment of the invention, the femtosecond laser is an optical fiber laser, the pulse energy is 1 mu J, the pulse width is 300fs, the pulse frequency is less than 4MHz, and the cooling mode is air cooling.
In the embodiment of the invention, the diameter of a light spot of laser generated by the fiber laser is 3 mu m, the focusing energy is 150 nJ/pulse, and the focusing range is 300 mu m.
In embodiments of the present invention, the X-Y scanning mirror is a component commonly used in optical systems and laser technology. The laser beam positioning and orientation device consists of two mirrors which are perpendicular to each other, one is used for the horizontal direction (X axis) and the other is used for the vertical direction (Y axis), and by controlling the movement of the two mirrors, the accurate positioning and orientation of the laser beam can be realized. The primary function of the X-Y scanning mirror is to change the direction and position of the beam. By controlling the angle and speed of the scanning mirror, the beam can be scanned, focused, deflected and positioned on a plane.
The focusing lens in the multi-wavelength medical laser system provided by the embodiment of the invention can focus the light beam to a smaller point or area, and the focusing lens can change the propagation direction of the light beam and the intensity distribution of the light beam, so that the light beam becomes more concentrated and powerful.
Specifically, the focusing lens mainly has the following functions:
Focusing the focusing lens focuses the parallel incident beam to a focal point. The focal length of the beam and the position of the focal point can be controlled by changing the relative position of the lens to the beam or adjusting the curvature of the lens.
Beam shape adjustment-the focusing lens may change the shape of the laser beam, e.g. to convert a circular beam into an elliptical beam.
Beam adjustment-the focusing lens can adjust the diameter and divergence angle of the beam. By varying the aperture and curvature of the lens, the degree of divergence or focusing of the beam can be controlled.
Optical correction-the focusing lens may also be used to correct optical distortions in the light beam. For example, spherical lenses can correct spherical aberration, thereby maintaining better quality and sharpness of the focal point of the beam during focusing.
Specifically, in the practical application process, the direction, the position, the diameter, the divergence angle and the like of the laser beam reflected by the first reflecting mirror can be adjusted based on the matching of the large-numerical aperture focusing lens group, the X-Y scanning mirror and the focusing lens.

The device has the effects of correcting errors generated when light beams are refracted in eyeballs due to factors such as cornea morphology, diopter and the like, ensuring that laser can be accurately focused on the eyeballs, and further realizing accurate and effective treatment effects. The technique can greatly reduce the risk of operation and improve the success rate of operation and the treatment experience of patients.
In the embodiment of the invention, the beam expander can adjust and limit the diameter and the shape of the 213 nanometer laser beam. The beam expander plays a role in focusing and controlling the laser beam so that the laser beam can be accurately irradiated to a specific part of the eyes of the patient, thereby realizing an accurate treatment effect.
In the embodiment of the invention, the beam expander can ensure the focusing degree and accuracy of the laser beam, improve the safety and accuracy of the operation, limit the diameter of the laser beam within a smaller range, ensure that the laser beam can be accurately concentrated in a specific area of the eye, and simultaneously can also furthest protect surrounding tissues from unnecessary injury. By reasonably adjusting and using the beam expander, a doctor can better control the intensity and the focusing range of the laser, thereby effectively performing various ophthalmic surgical treatments.
In the embodiment of the invention, the beam expander can also help control the energy density of the laser, so as to ensure that the laser generates proper thermal effect in eye tissues to achieve the expected treatment effect.
In the embodiment of the invention, the beam expander is generally composed of a high-quality optical element, so that the quality and stability of the laser beam can be maintained.
In the embodiment of the invention, the beam homogenizer can adjust the intensity distribution of the laser beam so that the laser beam can uniformly cover the whole target area when the eye tissue of a patient is treated. Thus, the patient can be ensured to receive uniform laser energy, and the accuracy and safety of the operation are improved. Beam homogenizers are typically manufactured using special optical designs and materials to ensure that the laser beam is effectively homogenized as it passes through the device. In addition, the beam homogenizer can also help to adjust the diameter and shape of the laser beam to meet different surgical needs.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the application process of the multi-wavelength medical laser system, a doctor can complete the adjustment of the shape, the position, the focal power and the intensity of the laser beam based on the cooperation of the eyeball tracking system and the mutual cooperation of the beam compensator, the beam expander and the beam homogenizer under the observation of a surgical microscope so as to adapt to the needs of patients.
In the embodiment of the invention, 213 nanometer laser or deep ultraviolet laser generated by a 213 nanometer laser or deep ultraviolet nanometer laser can be adjusted based on the mutual coordination of a beam compensator, a beam expander and a beam homogenizer to obtain laser beams which are suitable for the actual condition of a patient, and the laser beams are transmitted out through a first reflector and then transmitted to the cornea of an eyeball through an X-Y scanning mirror and a focusing lens, so that cornea cutting is completed.
