Femtosecond Lasers

Femtosecond lasers are extremely powerful lasers that emit light pulses lasting just one quadrillionth of a second (a femtosecond). These ultra-short bursts of light allow precise control over materials at a microscopic level. This technology is used in various fields, including medicine for eye surgeries, in industry for cutting and engraving, and in research to study fast chemical reactions. The precision and speed of femtosecond lasers make them invaluable for applications where traditional lasers would be too coarse or slow, enabling advancements in science and technology.
