Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Biology and Medicine

by Markus Braun, Peter Gilch, and Wolfgang Zinth

Published 29 January 2008

Learn about the many biological and medical applications of ultrashort laser pulses. The authors highlight and explain how the briefness of these laser pulses permits the tracing of even the fastest processes in photo-active bio-systems. They also present a variety of applications that rely on the high peak intensity of ultrashort laser pulses. Easy-to-follow examples cover non-linear imaging techniques, optical tomography, and laser surgery.
