A system for ophthalmic laser surgery is disclosed. A laser source is adapted for performing ophthalmic laser surgery. A surgical tip is adapted to transmit light from the laser source toward an eye. A reference window is affixed to the surgical tip at a fixed position relative to the laser source. A patient interface is adapted to couple to the eye and to the surgical tip. An applanation lens is coupled to the patient interface. An optical sensor is adapted to detect interference generated between light reflected off the reference window and light reflected off the applanation lens during a coupling procedure between the surgical tip and the patient interface.本發明揭示一種用於眼科雷射手術之系統。一雷射源經調適以用於執行眼科雷射手術。一手術尖頭經調適以將來自該雷射源之光傳輸至一眼睛。一參考窗口在相對於該雷射源之一固定位置處附著至該手術尖頭。一病人介面經調適以耦合至該眼且耦合至該手術尖頭。一扁平透鏡耦合至該病人介面。一光學感應器經調適以在該手術尖頭與該病人介面之間的一耦合程序期間,偵測在反射離開該參考窗口之光與反射離開該扁平透鏡之光之間所產生的干擾。61...眼科手術系統63...眼睛65...病人介面67...扁平透鏡69...撓性支撐件71...手術尖頭72...扁平透鏡之前面73...參考窗口74...參考窗口之前面75...雷射77...掃描及聚焦光學器件79...光學感應器81...光源83...偵測器87...可程式化處理器
