Published: March 2005

We show that the use of periodically poled lithium niobate doped with Fe and Y ensures a considerable improvement in the quality of reconstructed images compared with the use of single-domain crystals. This improvement is due to inhibition of intermodulation noise and elimination of optical damage.

The steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs), evoked by dual-frequency or multi-frequency stimulation, likely contains intermodulation frequency components (IMs). Visual IMs are products of nonlinear integration of neural signals and can be evoked by various paradigms that induce neural interaction. IMs have demonstrated many interesting and important characteristics in cognitive psychology, clinical neuroscience, brain-computer interface and other fields, and possess substantial research potential.

Wireless medical telemetry systems (WMTSs) are typical radio communication-based medical devices that monitor various biological parameters, such as electrocardiograms and respiration rates. In Japan, the assigned frequency band for WMTSs is 400 MHz. However, the issues accounting for poor reception in WMTS constitute major concerns.

Objective: Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a radiation-free tracer-based imaging technology that visualizes the spatial distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Conventional spatial encoding methods in MPI rely on a gradient magnetic field with a constant gradient strength to generate a field-free point or line for spatial scanning. However, increasing the gradient strength can enhance theoretical spatial resolution but also lead to a decrease in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and sensitivity of the imaging system.
