Photodisruption in biological tissues and single cells using femtosecond laser pulses

Presentation Date:

Location: 

CLEO conference (Baltimore, MD)

Presentation Slides: 

Tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses can be absorbed nonlinearly inside biological materials, vaporizing tissue in the focal volume. With only nanojoules of energy, we are able to photodisrupt regions within a single cell.
