  • Femtosecond ultraviolet laser
    Patent number: 9660412
    Abstract: A method and system for generating femtosecond (fs) ultraviolet (UV) laser pulses enables stabile, robust, and optically efficient generation of third harmonic fs laser pulses using periodically-poled quasi-phase-matched crystals. The crystals have different numbers of periodically poled crystalline layers that enable a long conversion length without back-conversion and without a special phase-matching direction. The fs UV laser may have a high conversion efficiency and may be suitable for high power operation.

  • LASER-ASSISTED EPITHELIAL REMOVAL
    Publication number: 20140236135
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a device configured to perform epithelial removal comprises a laser device and a control computer. The laser device can separate the epithelium from the Bowman's layer of an eye using pulsed laser radiation having ultrashort pulses. The laser device includes controllable components that control a focus of the pulsed laser radiation. The control computer controls the controllable components to focus the pulsed laser radiation at one or more epithelial cell layers of the epithelium to photodisrupt at least a portion of the epithelial cell layers.
