Femtosecond laser micromachining: Applications in photonics and biology

Presentation Date: 

Thursday, October 9, 2003

Location: 

XIX Laser Science Conference (Tucson, AZ)

Presentation Slides: 

When femtosecond laser pulses are focused tightly into a transparent material, permanent structural or chemical changes occur. These changes can be used for micromachining bulk transparent materials. A number of applications in the fabrication of micro-optical devices and in biology and medicine will be discussed.
