Abstract

Los Alamos has a long history of research in laser technology and over the past few years we have begun to build a program directing some of that technology to a variety of applications in biology and medicine. As examples two of these activities will be described in this manuscript: 1) the use of a laser interferometer to measure the microwave absorption spectrum of DNA and 2) spectral measurements of the secondary light produced during laser corneal ablation with an ArF laser.
