Abstract
Laser-induced plasma generation by single and multiple femtosecond laser pulses is used surgically and constitutes a source of photodamage in nonlinear microscopy. The irradiance threshold at which transient vapor bubbles in water are produced is 20x higher than the irradiance used for nonlinear microscopy. However, photodamage in multiphoton microscopy already starts, when the irradiance is 1.5x above autofluorescence imaging. Thus, there is a huge realm of low-density plasma effects between the multi-pulse damage threshold and the single-pulse surgical regime, and the talk will provide a systematic overview over laser applications and the irradiance and radiant exposure dependence of these effects.
