Picosecond Laser

A picosecond laser is a type of laser that emits pulses of light with durations on the order of picoseconds (10^-12 seconds). These lasers are characterized by their ultra-short pulse durations, high peak powers, and precise control over the temporal and spatial characteristics of the laser beam.

• Medical: Picosecond lasers are used in dermatology for tattoo removal, treatment of pigmented lesions, and skin rejuvenation. The ultra-short pulses can selectively target pigment particles while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
• Biomedical Imaging: Picosecond lasers are utilized in various biomedical imaging techniques, including multiphoton microscopy and time-resolved fluorescence imaging. These techniques enable high-resolution imaging of biological samples with reduced photodamage and photobleaching.
• Scientific Research: Picosecond lasers are indispensable tools in fundamental research in physics, chemistry, and biology. They are used in studies involving ultrafast dynamics, spectroscopy, and nonlinear optics.
