This book succinctly describes the ultra-short laser⁰́₃matter interactions from the subtle atomic motion under the gentle excitation up to the generation of extreme pressures by the beam tightly focussed inside the bulk of a transparent crystal. It is the fully rewritten successo…
The introduction of femtosecond pulse lasers has provided numerous new methods for non-destructive diagnostic analysis of biological smaples. This book is the first to provide a focused and systematic treatment of femtosecond biophotonic methods. Each chapter combines theory, pr…
Covering key techniques for optical microscopy and micro-fabrication, this book provides the first detailed treatment of femtosecond laser-based biophotonics.

This thesis presents the development of Tm3+-doped sesquioxide laser sources in the 2–2.1 μm spectral region. The primary focus of this development has been aimed towards high power diode-pumped mode-locked laser sources capable of femtosecond pulse generation. In addition to th…
Ultralow threshold, compact and highly efficient femtosecond lasers based on Yb³⁺ -doped potassium yttrium tungstate (Yb:KYW) and Yb³⁺ -doped vanadium yttrium oxide (Yb:YVO 4 ) have been demonstrated within this PhD-research project. For a continuous wave unmode-locked Yb:KYW la…
In this thesis two previously separate fields of study are brought together: optical micromanipulation and ultrashort laser research. Here, the benefits of combining the high peak powers of ultrashort pulsed lasers and conventional optical micromanipulation techniques are explor…
Femtosecond laser spectroscopy
"As concepts and methodologies have evolved over the past two decades, the realm of ultrafast science has become vast and exciting and has impacted many areas of chemistry, biology, and physics, and other fields such as materials science, electrical engineering, and optical comm…
