Abstract
We investigated the working mechanisms of femtosecond laser nanoprocessing in biomaterials with oscillator pulses of 80 MHz repetition rate and with amplified pulses of 1 kHz repetition rate. Plasma formation in water, the evolution of the temperature distribution, thermoelastic stress generation, and stress-induced cavitation bubble formation were numerically simulated for NA 1.3 and the outcome compared to experimental results. A comparison of the thresholds for the various physical effects with experimental parameters enables to assess the working mechanisms of both modalities for cell surgery.
