Pulse amplitude manipulation for controlling a phacoemulsification surgical system

Methods of manipulating pulses of ultrasonic energy for use with an ophthalmic surgical device are provided. In particular, methods are described for generating multisegment ultrasound pulses (2100) having a first rectangular pulse segment (2110) with a first amplitude and at least a second rectangu...

More Information
Summary:Methods of manipulating pulses of ultrasonic energy for use with an ophthalmic surgical device are provided. In particular, methods are described for generating multisegment ultrasound pulses (2100) having a first rectangular pulse segment (2110) with a first amplitude and at least a second rectangular pulse segment (2120, 2130) with a second amplitude greater than the first amplitude.
