Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1.00×1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.00 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.00 ns with an average power of 2.00×1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.

Many varieties of lasers emit light in the form of pulses rather than a steady beam. A tellurium–sapphire laser can produce light at a wavelength of 800 nm in ultrashort pulses that last only 4.00 x 10-15 s (4.00 femtoseconds, or 4.00 fs).
