RESUMO
Recently, scientists have proposed a new technique for treating diseases related to the human retina, which is based on retinal laser discharges using pulse sequence around of 200 \ mü\ s, replacing the conventional treatment using long pulses around of 300 ms. The main advantage of the new technique is the conservation (without cell death) of the area exposed to the laser. This work presents the mechanisms adopted for the development of an electronic control system of a laser cavity at 586 nm for ophthalmic use, which aims to meet the protocol required by this recent technique. The protocol requires the formation of rapid pulses of laser, which makes the electronic control system response velocity of the laser cavity vital to the protocol. To meet the project requirements were implemented two current controllers in closed loop PI (proportional integrative controller) working synchronized, an optical power controller in closed loop PI, and auxiliary circuits for temperature control of the laser cavity. Software were implemented for two controls, a PI power, in order to make the control loop stable with the required response time, and a PI thermal control for elements of the laser cavity. Tests showed that the prototype met the design specifications, especially regarding the response time of rapid pulse, key point in obtaining the clinical protocol (FastPulse), that this work aims to meet. Additionally, the prototype was subjected to clinical trial on a patient, and the results demonstrated efficacy and no visible lesions were noticed on retina.
