Volume 76 No. 4,  April 1999

On the cover:   Cross section of an eye showing the propagation of a 
laser beam focusing on the retina. The retina is especially susceptible 
to damage from laser radiation in the retinal hazard regime(0.4 - 1.4 
mm).  Maximum exposure limits exist for most exposure durations except 
those shorter than one nanosecond.   In an article by Roach et al. on 
page 349, maximum exposure limits in this ultrashort laser pulse regime 
are proposed. (Graphic provided by B. Rockwell.)
