Abstract

We developed a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier delivering tunable wavelength ultrashort femtosecond laser pulses and we studied the prospects for application in laser nanosurgery in biopolymers. As a first step towards this goal, we study the creation of nano- holes in gelatin thin films. The effects of the wavelength, the fluence, the number of pulses and the repetition rate of the laser were studied. The obtained results put a step forward toward determining the optimum conditions for high spatial resolution laser nanosurgery in biomaterials and cells.
