This book has emerged from the need for a comprehensive presentation of the

recently established field of laser–tissue interactions. So far, only publications

dealing with specific issues and conference proceedings with contributions by

several authors have been available for this subject. From these multi-author

presentations, it is quite difficult for the reader to get to the bottom line of

such a novel discipline. A textbook written by a single author is probably

better suited for this purpose, although it might not provide the reader with

all the details of a specific application.

The basic scope of the book was outlined during several lectures on

biomedical optics which I held at the University of Heidelberg in the years

1992–1995. I have tried to include the most significant studies which are related

to the field of laser–tissue interactions and which have been published

during the past three decades. This comprises the description of experiments

and techniques as well as their results and the theoretical background. Some

parts of this book, especially the detailed discussion of ultrashort laser pulses,

are naturally influenced by my own interests.

Due to the rapidly increasing number of medical laser applications, it is

almost impossible to present a complete survey of all publications. Thus, this

book will mainly serve as a starting guide for the newcomer and as a quick

reference guide for the insider. For discussion of the newest techniques and

results, the reader should consult the latest issues of scientific journals rather

than a textbook. Regular coverage is provided by the journals Lasers in

Surgery and Medicine, Lasers in Medical Science, Biomedical Optics, and the

SPIE Proceedings on Biomedical Optics. Apart from these, related articles

frequently appear in special issues of other journals, e.g. Applied Physics B

and the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, as well.
