Femtosecond laser ablation permits non-invasive surgeries in the bulk of a sample with submicrometer resolution. We briefly review the history of optical surgery techniques and the experimental background of femtosecond laser ablation. Next, we present several clinical applications, including dental Surgery and eye surgery. We then summarize research applications, encompassing cell and tissue studies, research on C elegans, and studies in zebrafish. We conclude by discussing future trends of femtosecond laser systems and some possible application directions.
