With the invention of chirped pulse amplification for lasers in the mid-1980s, high power
ultrafast lasers entered into the world as a disruptive tool, with potential impact on a broad …

We review recent advances in laser cell surgery, and investigate the working mechanisms of
femtosecond laser nanoprocessing in biomaterials with oscillator pulses of 80-MHz …

In the last few years two-photon microscopy has been used to perform in vivo high spatial
resolution imaging of neurons, glial cells and vascular structures in the intact neocortex …

Non‐technical summary We have investigated the mechanisms underlying the response of
cells to pulsed infrared radiation (IR,∼ 1862 nm) using the neonatal rat ventricular …

Raman spectroscopy can provide nonbiased single-cell analysis based on the endogenous
ensemble of biomolecules, with alterations in cellular content indicative of cell state and …

Can photothermal gold nanoparticle mediated laser manipulation be applied to induce
cardiac contraction? Based on our previous work, we present a novel concept of cell …

Cochlear implants are currently the most effective solution for profound sensorineural
hearing loss, and vestibular prostheses are under development to treat bilateral …

An overview of the optical methods available to modulate the cellular activity in cell cultures
and biological tissues is presented, with a focus on the use of exogenous functional …

We present optical trapping and surgery of living yeast cells using two operational modes of
a single laser. We used a focused laser beam operating in continuous-wave mode for …

A shockwave induced by focusing an intense femtosecond laser onto a culture medium
under a microscope was used to manipulate single cultured animal cells. Mouse NIH3T3 …
