Regarding applications: What are the applications of ultrashort (laser) pulses in medical imaging? I cannot think of any. The referenced article does not provide any information about it either.Gabeng 06:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Imaging isn't really my subfield, but I do know of some biological imaging applications, especially with in vivo tomography. An example I know of is the OCM [1], which just switched from a CW to a pulsed lightsource. This article (Seeing through tissue section) discusses imaging tumors in addition to the surgical applications.

I think more information could be had from the Virtual Journal of Ultrafast Science, which is subscription, or from Google Scholar [2] [3].--Laura Scudder | Talk 18:24, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proposed merge of ultrafast and ultrashort pulse

I propose that Ultrafast should be merged here. per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (adjectives), adjectives should redirect to nouns. This article seems like the appropriate place for ultrafast to redirect to.--Srleffler 05:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Propagation of light pulses

I propose to add some material concerning the propagation of light pulses in various media, some analytical and therefore reasonably general.
