Fundamental Studies in the Molecular Basis of Laser Induced Retinal Damage

Abstract

A new unique method of investigating the effect of femtosecond pulses using nanosecond lasers that are common in most laser laboratories has been developed. This new method does not create femtosecond pulses by building a complex femtosecond laser but by modulating the energy spread in conventional lasers to generate pulses with ultrashort coherence times. Keywords: Laser damage; Eye damage.
