Abstract
In a recent experimental study of corneal transmittance during argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser ablation,1 we determined that the attenuation of 193 nm radiation in the tissue is markedly enhanced at high laser intensities. This behavior was hypothesized previously by Kitai, et al.,2 who suggested that free radicals with large ultraviolet absorption cross-sections might be forming in abundance during the laser pulse.
