Figures & data

Figure 1. Trend of temperature measured during LITT by thermocouples. (A) Thermocouple artefact when laser is turned on and turned off [Citation24]. (B) Temperature increase measured by thermocouples (TC) at different distances from the applicator: TC1 at 2 mm, TC2 at 4 mm, TC3 at 6 mm, and TC4 at 10 mm [Citation19].

Figure 2. (A) Fluorescent decay time of phosphor sensor. Decay time is the time between the initial measurement of signal level S1 and the signal level S1/e. (B) Phosphor temperature as a function of temperature [Citation36].
