Measurements of laser stimulated action potentials in the sciatic nerve of leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) were made using two ultrashort pulsed infrared lasers. The dorsal sides of the frog's hind limbs were exposed to 1540 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths at three separate spot sizes: 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm. Energy density thresholds were determined for eliciting an action potential at each experimental condition. Results from these exposures ...
