Damage Threshold as a Function of Pulse Duration in Biological Tissue.
Patent
Apparatus for switching high voltage pulses with picosecond accuracy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the switching of high voltage pulses (of the order of 10 kV) of durations from about 10μs (microseconds) to 10ms (milliseconds) with picosecond accuracy is accomplished by a laser activated semiconductor switch made up of a body (18) of high resistivity semiconductor material, such as nearly intrinsic silicon, integrated into a wide band (10GHz) geometry, which is part of a transmission line.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Transscleral photodisruption for the treatment of glaucoma
TL;DR: Two methods are identified, using pulses centered at 1700 nm and a transparency inducing drug, to produce the spatial and temporal confinement of the pulse necessary to produce photodisruption in the highly scattering sclera.
Patent
Optical pumping method and apparatus
S. Biswal,Gerard Mourou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-mode oscillator was used to remove heat generated from the gain media (lasant material) and to repeatedly extract energy from the media without the accumulation of heat in the media which causes thermal distortions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single optical cycle laser pulse in the visible and near-infrared spectral range
Olivier Albert,Gerard Mourou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new technique based on the addition of laser sub-harmonic, ALS, was proposed, which allows the production of a single-cycle pulse with single-femtosecond pulse duration.
