Abstract
The applicability of short pulse high peak power lasers to medicine has received increasing study. In particular, microsurgery using picosecond laser-induced optical breakdown has been proposed.1 Two-photon absorption at visible wavelengths, at which there are no resonant transitions in DMA, may cause mutagenic DNA damage and constitute a health risk similar to that of UV exposure.
