About the Cover

Femtosecond laser which is an ultra-short pulse found applications in novel technologies that have been used in medicine. Femtosecond lasts 10-15 of a second. Femtosecond lasers were used to create new technologies that have been explored in medicine. Dermatology and ophthalmology are fields of medicine in which femtosecond laser gained most popularity. Future research may result in the creation of new clinical applications for ultrashort pulse lasers. Lasers wit even shorter pulse duration called attosecond lasers (attosecond lasts 10-18 of a second) enable research at the molecular level. In the future this innovative technology may be used to study complex biological processes, contributing to the development of medicine. Further development of research into the use of ultra-short lasers may result in their use to create new solutions that could find application in clinical practice. The aim of this publication is to review the literature on ultra-short pulse lasers and identify areas for further research
