Los Alamos has a long history of research in laser technology, and over the past few years we have begun to build a program directing some of that technology to a variety of applications in biology and medicine. As examples, two of these activities will be described in this manuscript: the use of a laser interferometer to measure the microwave absorption spectrum of DNA, and spectral measurements of the secondary light produced during laser corneal ablation.
