Femtosecond Laser Technology

Femtosecond laser technology uses extremely short pulses of light, lasting just one quadrillionth of a second, to perform precise and controlled surgeries or measurements. These lasers can target tiny areas without damaging surrounding tissue, making them ideal for applications like eye surgeries (e.g., LASIK) and advanced manufacturing processes. The brief duration of the pulses allows for high precision, enabling intricate work at the microscopic level, which enhances the accuracy and outcomes of various medical and industrial procedures. This technology represents a significant advancement in both healthcare and materials science.
