Lasers for fusion application represent a special class of short-pulse generators: not only must they generate extremely short temporal pulses of high quality, but they must do this at ultra-high powers and satisfy other stringent requirements. This paper presents the status of the research and development of carbon dioxide laser systems at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, vis-a-vis the fusion requirements.

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.
