Abstract
The role of laser-induced plasma formation in pulsed cellular microsurgery and micromanipulation was studied. The size and shape of the laser-induced plasma, pressure of the emitted shock wave, and size and energy of the cavitation bubble formed by the expanding plasma were measured. Results showed that the laser parameters employed for many microirradiation techniques were congruent with those leading to optical breakdown in water.
