A laser used in LASIK eye surgery produces 50 pulses per second.
The wavelength is 192 nm (in air) and each pulse lasts 11 ps. The
average power emitted by the laser is 122.8 mW and the beam
diameter is 0.8 mm.
(a) In what part of the EM spectrum is the laser pulse?
The wavelength of the laser light is longer/shorter than visible
light.
(b) How long (in centimeters) is a single pulse of the laser in
air?
d = __ cm
(c) How many wavelengths fit in one pulse?

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.0-mm-diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. Each laser pulse lasts 20ns and contains 1.7mJ of light energy. What is the power of one laser pulse? During the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity of the light wave?

PROBLEM 2–The wavelength of the laser light used in LASIK ophthalmic surgery is 193 nm. However, the light is sent onto the eye in short bursts, or pulses, rather than as a continuous beam. Each burst of light incident upon the eye lasts only 10 ns. How many full oscillations of the wave are in each pulse?
(60) 2. The Nd:YAG laser is used in eye surgery called posteriour capsulotomy, following cataract surgery, to correct cloudiness that affects vision. The laser emits light with a wavelength of 1064 nanometers (nm) in the infrared region of the electro-magnetic spectrum. Each laser pulse has 40.5 J of energy, contains many photons, and the pulse lasts for 30.5 nanoseconds (ns). (15) 2a. Determine the frequency of the 1064 nm Nd:YAG light. (15) 2b. Determine the energy of each photon (J/photon)...
Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 μm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction...
