Table 1 Laser damage zone of Tm:YAG at 5 W in ambient air

From: Tissue damage by laser radiation: an in vitro comparison between Tm:YAG and Ho:YAG laser on a porcine kidney model

	OC-zone (μm)	NT-zone (μm)	E-zone (μm)	Total (μm)	OC + NT (μm)	Inc. depth (μm)
A/K/R120/5W-1	382	348	298	1028	730	116
A/K/R120/5W-2	294	425	292	1011	719	465
A/K/R120/5W-4	440	346	257	1043	786	456
Average	372	373	282	1027	745	346
SD	74	45	22	16	119^a	199

^aThe measurement error of OC + NT is the total of the standard deviations of the OC-zone plus NT-zone
