In laser eye surgery, the laser emits a 1.26-ns pulse focused on a spot that is 37.0 μm in diameter.

1. If the energy contained in the pulse is 2.65 mJ , what is the power per square meter (the irradiance) associated with this beam?

2. Suppose a molecule with a diameter of 0.604 nm is irradiated by the laser beam. How much energy does the molecule receive in one pulse from the laser? (This much energy is likely to dissociate the molecule.)

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?

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...
