Laser filaments as pulsed antennas.

Opt Lett

Published: October 2021

Secondary radiation emission of laser-induced filaments is revisited from a perspective of transient antenna radiation. Solutions for transient-antenna radiation fields are shown to provide an accurate description of the spectral and polarization properties, radiation patterns, and the angular dispersion of terahertz and microwave radiation emitted by laser filaments. Time-domain pulsed-antenna analysis offers a physically clear explanation for the bandwidth of this radiation, relating the low-frequency cutoff in its spectrum to the filament length, thus explaining efficient microwave generation in laser filamentation experiments.

Osseointegration is a crucial property of biomaterials used for bone defect repair. While titanium is the gold standard in craniofacial surgeries, various polymeric biomaterials are being explored as alternatives. However, polymeric materials can be bioinert, hindering integration with surrounding tissues.

This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of moisture content in polylactic acid (PLA) filaments on dust emissions during incremental manufacturing. The tests were conducted in a customised chamber using a standard 3D printer, and Plantower PMS3003 sensors were used to monitor air quality by measuring PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations.

Laser Emission at 675 nm: Molecular Counteraction of the Aging Process.

Background/objectives: Many lasers applied in skin rejuvenation protocols show emissions with wavelengths falling in the red or near-infrared (NIR) bands. To obtain further in vitro data on the potential therapeutic benefits regarding rejuvenation, we employed a 675 nm laser wavelength on cultured human dermal fibroblasts to understand the mechanisms involved in the skin rejuvenation process's signaling pathways by analyzing cytoskeletal proteins, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and membrane integrins.

Methods: Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) were irradiated with a 675 nm laser 24 h after seeding, and immunofluorescence microscopy and Western blotting were applied.

We demonstrate that amplitude modulation of a high-peak-power femtosecond laser pulse allows to change fundamentally the frequency-angular structure (FAS) of the supercontinuum formed during the filamentation in both molecular and atomic gases. Particularly, modulation with a 4-hole mask forms an inverted pattern of conical emission (CE) with its predominance in the Stokes wing of the pulse spectrum. We explain this phenomenon as a joint effect of self-phase modulation and temporal pulse splitting of interfering beamlets formed by the modulating mask.

Impact of photobiomodulation on neural embryoid body formation from immortalized adipose-derived stem cells.

Stem Cell Res Ther

December 2024

Article Synopsis
  • Embryoid bodies (EBs) are 3D aggregates from stem cells that mimic early embryonic development and are crucial for generating various stem cell types, including neural cells.
  • Photobiomodulation (PBM), a low-powered light therapy, may enhance the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into neural embryoid bodies (NEBs) in a 3D culture environment, addressing current methodologies' limitations.
  • Results indicate PBM at 825 nm with a fluence of 10 J/cm significantly improved NEB size, cell viability, and specific stem cell markers, suggesting increased neural precursor populations and minimal cell damage.
