We direct a compact 405 nm laser diode source into an inverted optical microscope configuration and expose cells to 0.3 mW for 40 ms. The localized optical power density of ~1200 MW/m2 is six orders of magnitude lower than that used in femtosecond photoporation (~104 TW/m2). The tightly focused laser beam (with a localised focal volume of ~10-19 m3 ) perforates the cell plasma membrane to allow uptake of plasmid DNA containing an antibiotic resistant gene as well as the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene. Successfully transfected cells then expand into clonal groups which are used to create stable cell lines.

HAp is a main component of bones and teeth. We adopted two new methods: One is the use of a hollow fiber with a 320-mum core diameter in order to improve the output beam intensity profile by eliminating the high order modes. The other one is an fs double pulse laser transmission scheme with a tailored ps-order delay time, which is earlier than the ablation onset. Since the optical damage threshold of the hollow fiber depends on the peak intensity of the incident laser pulse, therefore, the double pulse transmission enabled us to deliver higher pulse energies than the single pulse even by keeping the fs laser ablation characteristics. By adopting these two new methods of flexible hollow fiber, double pulse transmission and ablation processing, we delivered high energy enough to ablate HAp and collagen. We demonstrated the delivery of a near Gaussian output beam profile, and high ablation rates","PeriodicalId":354643,"journal":{"name":"CLEO/Europe. 2005 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe, 2005.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125619671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
