All-laser laser LASIK (Femto( Femto-LASIK) Femto-LASIK 台 大 眼 科 王 一 中 IntraLase 2/1 Perfect Vision Ziemer (DaVinci) Carl Zeiss Meditec Pulsewidth: Femtosecond laser (Nd:Glass)) 153 nm (near infrared) Each pulse of focused laser light lasts approximately 1-13 seconds (1 femtoseconds) Ultrashort-pulse micro- machining can make sub- wavelength holes. Because high-order nonlinear-optical processes are responsible for cutting, there is effectively a threshold for cutting. This means that careful control of the intensity can yield a very small hole. Beam profile Size of hole Threshold for cutting Beam focused to l/2 x Long- vs. short-pulse micromachining Long pulse Short pulse Holes as small as ~1 nm have been created. Clark-MXR web site 1

In this oblique dissection line, circles mark three areas of differing morphology in the layers between the epithelium on top to the endothelium at bottom. Bubbles resulting from a single shot from a femtosecond laser are shown. Bubbles are merged from overlapping shots. Notice the disruption in the bubble from the merged bubbles. Cavity resulting from multiple femtosecond laser shots. 3
