Abstract
Since their invention, lasers have been successfully employed in many applications. The basic principle of the interaction of laser with biological tissue is explained, and how many factors may influence the results of the interaction are also discussed. The tissue optical properties, the primary factors of laser interactions, including absorption and scattering, are defined. Other factors, i.e., photochemical, photothermal, photoablation, plasma-induced ablation, and photodisruption, are also discussed.
