Distribution of the temperature rise within the cochlea after 10 seconds stimulated by laser pulse-train with laser pulse energy 25 μJ and repetition rate 10 Hz. (a) Temperature rise in xz plane corresponding to Figure 1b. (b) Temperature rise in xy plane corresponding to Figure 1d. (c) Temperature rise along the dashed white line in (a). (d) Temperature rise along the white curved broken line in (b). The two insets in a and b illustrate the laser stimulation sites in the cochlea.
