Abstract :
The technological evaluation of surgical lasers is still in a slightly naive stage for what pertains the characterisation of more refined parameters. Moreover, no standard method exists to enable comparison among results produced by various groups performing technological evaluation in different ways. This paper deals with the problem of profile standardisation of a protocol.
