Abstract
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In addition, the effect of employing a longitudinal magnetic field on the intensity of wake field is studied. It has been seen that the wake field intensity is enhanced in the presence of a magnetic field for both Half-Sine and Gaussian shape pulses. Our aim has been finding optimum values of different parameters for which higher accelerating wake electric fields can be obtained.

Abstract
The modification of cell surface structures has become a focal point in cell biology, with methods like drugs, chemicals, and non-destructive techniques such as laser light exposure being utilized. In particular, exposure to femtosecond laser pulses has been found to increase cell permeability to formulations without causing thermal damage. This study aimed to observe and document the changes in the structure of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria when they were optically trapped and subjected to femtosecond laser pulses, along with the application of a medicinal substance, over 20 minutes. The research successfully determined the optimal power and exposure time of the laser light on the bacterial surface and demonstrated the ability of femtosecond laser pulses to enhance the efficacy of the medicinal substance.
