1. Apparatus for generating a laser pulse sequence for application to a predetermined target tissue, comprising:
means for setting a cumulative fluence Fs of the laser pulse sequence;
means for determining a duration of the laser pulse sequence as a function of the cumulative fluence Fs such that the predetermined target tissue is heated to a final temperature that is within a predetermined range;
wherein the means for determining is adapted to determine the duration based on a temperature model for the final temperature, wherein the temperature model is a function of the duration and the cumulative fluence Fs.
