For 2\u20139 minutes, laser fibers were guided by an xy-plotter in spirals over BegoStones. Stone mass was measured before and after laser application. Comparisons to Ho:YAG and further Tm:YAG investigations were performed.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Identical settings with similar pulse durations yielded a significant 14% advantage for Ho:YAG in slow fiber speeds and a tendency toward 15% higher efficiency of Tm:YAG in fast fiber speeds. Increased pulse duration in Tm:YAG led significantly to 32%\u201354% higher ablation rates in comparison to Tm:YAG in both setups. Ablated mass loss range is 102\u20131107\u2009mg for slow fiber speeds and 22\u2013528\u2009mg for fast speeds. Mass loss is proportional to pulse energy, frequency, and pulse duration, whereas pulse energy defines the penetration depth into the model stones. Frequency characterizes the ablation homogeneity and possible working speeds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tm:YAG is significantly more efficient when longer pulse durations are used. Identical settings revealed a strong connection to fiber movement speeds. In addition, the Tm:YAG device enables a broader range of settings with the possibility of minimal pulse energy of 100\u2009mJ for low retropulsion and fine dusting with possible frequencies \u2264200\u2009Hz.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2020.0525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,17]],"date-time":"2020-08-17T02:09:10Z","timestamp":1597630150000},"page":"221-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["<i>In Vitro<\/i>\n                    Dusting Performance of a New Solid State Thulium Laser Compared to Holmium Laser Lithotripsy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Ralf","family":"Petzold","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg\u2014Medical Centre, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arkadiusz","family":"Miernik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg\u2014Medical Centre, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Suarez-Ibarrola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg\u2014Medical Centre, Freiburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.1900120402"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2014.09.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1364\/BOE.9.004552"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2017.0050"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1117\/1.3564884"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","volume-title":"Photonic Therapeutics and Diagnostics VII","author":"Blackmon RL","unstructured":"Blackmon RL, , Irby PB, , Fried NM.
