LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.0-mm-diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. Each laser pulse lasts 13 ns and contains 1.3 mJ of light energy. What is the power of one laser pulse? During the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity of the light wave?

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a laser-based surgical procedure that corrects near and farsightedness by removing part of the lens of the eye to change its curvature and hence focal length. This procedure can remove 0.25 mm thick using pulses lasting 10.0 ns from a laser beam of wavelength 200 nm. Low-intensity beams can be used because each individual photon has enough energy to break the covalent bonds of the tissue. (a) In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this...

Electromagnetic Waves In 2018, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three people, one of whom is the first woman laureate in physics in 55 years, Prof. Donna Strickland. Prof. Strickland developed the technique of chirped pulse amplification" which allows for the construction of extremely high power lasers, called pulsed lasers. These lasers are used today in many fields, including laser eye surgery. A higher power laser means that an equivalent amount of energy can be delivered in less...
