Abstract

The effect the thickness of a cartilage plate has on its laser reshaping is studied. The dynamics of heating during laser irradiation is recorded by means of IR radiometry, along with the dynamics of IR laser radiation passed through the cartilage plate. Variation in the cartilage plate’s shape is traced using still and video photography. It is shown that the time needed to attain a stable curvature and the final radius of the cartilage grow along with the cartilage plate thickness.
