In this contribution we review recent developments and advances in femtosecond laser
ablation, with a focus on biomedical applications. In recent years, research has focused on …

Ultrafast pulsed lasers can be used to achieve remarkable precision during surgical
ablation. Through nonlinear interactions with tissue, ultrafast lasers can provide a largely …

We report on damage-free fiber-guidance of milli-Joule energy-level and 600-femtosecond
laser pulses into hypocycloid core-contour Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. Up …

Laser microsurgery is the current gold standard surgical technique for the treatment of
selected diseases in delicate organs such as the larynx. However, the operations require …

We present and demonstrate a cascaded laser scan architecture to achieve a three-fold gain
in scan angle. We cascaded multiple piezoelectric MEMS scanners using a high numerical …

Significance Conventional diagnosis of laryngeal cancer is normally made by a combination
of endoscopic examination, a subsequent biopsy, and histopathology, but this requires …

Atmospheric air-filled hollow core (HC) fibers, representing the simplest yet reliable form of
gas-filled hollow core fiber, show remarkable nonlinear properties and have several …

Towards developing precise microsurgery tools for the clinic, we previously developed
image-guided miniaturized devices using low repetition rate amplified ultrafast lasers for …

Creation of sub-epithelial voids within scarred vocal folds via ultrafast laser ablation may
help in localization of injectable therapeutic biomaterials towards an improved treatment for …

Over the last decade, optical fiber-based forms of microscopy and endoscopy have
extended the realm of applicability for many imaging modalities. Optical fiber-based imaging …
