(a) The cutting process is limited to the focal spot size. Many pulses are needed to cut the tissue, so a high frequency repetition rate is needed. (b) The cutting process is mainly performed by mechanical forces of the expanding gas bubbles). Fewer pluses are needed but stress is generated in the tissue.
