Interesting, but probably not cheap:

and
> The input peak power up to 1.60 MW (350-nJ pulse energy)

I wonder how much it affects/fries the tissue. HHG also has issues with attenuation.
The paper abstract also says previous state of the art was 300um not 200um like in the press release.
- lukan 2y agoThe question is, how long is that power needed. Edit: "Ultrashort pulses" so likely not much. Because indeed, you cannot burn the human. So the energy consumption likely won't be a problem. Except that it might make the machine expensive to build.
- DennisP 2y agoIn fact, GP quotes "350 nJ" which is a tiny fraction of a watt-second.
- chris_va 2y agoBulk ordered, that is probably a ~$50k laser. Not nothing, but on the scale of medical device costs, not terrible.
