Abstract: | Laser technology has advanced dramatically and is an integral part of the healthcare delivery systems of today. Lasers are used in laboratory analyses of human blood samples and serve as surgical tools that kill, burn or cut tissue. Recent semiconductor microtechnology has reduced the laser size to the size of a biological cell or even a virus particle. The integration of these ultra-small lasers with biological systems makes it possible to create microelectrical mechanical systems that might revolutionize healthcare delivery. |
