Holmium laser with pulse modulation
The holmium laser with pulse modulation emits two separate laser pulses with a short time interval between them. The first pulse divides the water between the laser fiber tip and the stone and the second pulse hits the stone unobstructed.
Thulium fiber laser
The thulium fiber laser has a different wavelength then the holmium laser with pulse modulation and thus has slightly different energy properties. It has also been shown to increase ablative volume and decrease retropulsion without any safety concerns.
