Abstract
This paper reports on the delivery of intense ultrashort pulse through graded index (GI) fibers. Numerical simulation of dispersion management during passing through the optical fibers is also described. In addition, the feasibility of endoscopic cancer treatment by use of fiber delivery of intense femtosecond laser is also explained.
