In this work, we demonstrate the use of 2.12-μm Ho:YAG laser with a deviated-firing fiber for laser ablation on chicken tissues. The tissue ablation tests were conducted under non-contact and contact conditions. The thermal damage and ablation efficiency made by the fiber on the tissue were quantita...
