Described herein are devices and methods for performing merged optical tissue evaluation and laser ablation with a catheter system that includes a processing device and a catheter with proximal and distal sections with a plurality of optical ports that are configured to transmit beams of exposure radiation to a sample, receive one or beams of scattered radiation, and transmit laser ablation energysuch that a portion of the sample is ablated.The processing device includes a first optical source configured to generate a source beam of exposure radiationand a second optical source configured togenerate the laserablationenergy. The catheter system further includes one or more multiplexers that directthe beams of exposure radiation to the plurality of optical ports, combine the one or more beams of scattered radiation, and directthe laserablationenergy to at least one optical port of the plurality of optical ports. 本文描述了利用导管系统执行合并光学组织评估和激光消融的装置和方法。导管系统包括处理装置以及导管，该导管具有近侧区段和远侧区段，该远侧区段具有多个光学端口。该多个光学端口配置为将曝光辐射束发射到样本、接
