Le processus destructif est indépendant de la nature de la cible. Cet effet repose sur le claquage optique qui correspond à la rupture du tissu sous l'effet de la concentration de puissance en un lieu précis et petit selon une durée très brève. Cette photosection a un seuil énergétique variable d'autant plus bas que l'impulsion est brève.
