When a lens focuses light to a small spot, it creates a two-dimensional area of higher intensity. If that light is a laser beam of the appropriate wavelength and power, it is capable of cutting through material. In surgery, lasers can act like scalpels - only far more precise, completely sterile, and with a reduced risk of human error. This research explores new ways of shaping laser beams for even more consistent and transformative results.
I am awaiting the publication of three related papers by December 2025, after which I’ll share further details about the outcomes and benefits of this work. In the meantime, you can find out more in this press release.
