Ag-Pd nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation for selective oxidation of propylene glycol to lactic acid
摘要： Silver/palladium composite nanoparticles (NPs) obtained by pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) technique catalyze oxidation of propylene glycol (PG) to lactic acid (LA) in alkaline media. The PLAL technique allows obtaining silver/palladium NPs with different silver/palladium molar ratio. Addition of palladium increases PG conversion (up to 52%) and LA selectivity (up to 88%). The reaction temperature and silver/palladium molar ratio strongly affects the catalytic activity of the silver/palladium composite NPs.

The synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials by pulsed laser ablation in water
摘要： Pulsed Laser Ablation in liquid (PLAL) is considered as a robust and simple technique for producing nanoparticles (NPs) using lasers. The carbon-based nanoparticles were fabricated via the PLAL approach by irradiating a graphite target with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of wavelength 532 nm. The graphite target was immersed in distilled water and irradiated for 10 min. The pulse length, reputation rate, and ?uence were 6 ns, 10 Hz, and 0.4 J cm?2, respectively. The structural and physical properties of the synthesized NPs were investigated and analyzed using different characterization methods. For example, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images revealed diverse carbon nanostructures such as graphene nanosheets, nanospheres, nanospheres in the shape of a necklace, and nanotubes. The spectrum of Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX) con?rmed successful synthesis of high purity carbon nanostructures. Moreover, the result of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectroscopy indicated the presence of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) with a (002) plane and the absence of Graphene Oxide (GO). The transmission spectrum from Ultraviolet-Visible (UV–vis) analysis showed a strong trough at 266 nm which is attributed to the presence of carbon nanostructures. Furthermore, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis demonstrated the vibration bonds related to carbon. The nanostructures produced were semi-stable with little agglomeration as was inferred from the results of the Zeta Potential. Finally, the Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis supported the TEM results. PLAL technique is proved to be a simple method for producing carbon-based nanomaterials. Moreover, the laser ?uence was found to be an important factor which affects greatly the type of nanostructures that could be synthesized during laser ablation.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy as a promising tool in the elemental bioimaging of plant tissues
摘要： Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is an optical analytical technique with a multi-element capability for element bioimaging in plants. During the years of LIBS development, the major application field has been in industry. However, during the last two decades, LIBS became a useful imaging tool in various biologic matrices, e.g. bones, mammals’ organs, and in the plant science. In this work, we present an overview of LIBS achievements in plant bioimaging which started in 2006. The progress in the assessment of spatial element distribution in plants is documented here with respect to the applications in phytotoxicity testing for the following reason: the information on the spatial distribution of elements can reveal a relationship between the exact location of an element and its toxic effect. This review discusses the state of the art of various elements’ bioimaging in plants using LIBS with a spatial resolution at micrometer scale.

摘要： In this paper, we used laser ablation in liquids to prepare ZnO nanoparticles. In our experiment, the pulsed laser was focused onto the Zn target submerged in water. We used di?erent laser energy to form the ZnO nanoparticles. The size, structure and photoluminescence spectra of ZnO nanoparticles were displayed by using XRD and AFM. The relationship between diameter of ZnO nanoparticles and laser energy was analyzed. In addition, we also studied the variation of photoluminescence spectra of ZnO nanoparticles with di?erent laser energy.

Tissue classification by rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS): comparison between a diathermic knife and CO2 laser sampling on classification performance
摘要： The increasing need for rapid, in situ, and robust tissue profiling approaches in the context of intraoperative diagnostics has led to the development of a large number of ambient ionization-based surface sampling strategies. This paper compares the performances of a diathermic knife and a CO2 laser handpiece, both clinically approved, coupled to a rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) source for quasi-instantaneous tissue classification. Several fresh meat samples (muscle, liver, bone, bone marrow, cartilage, skin, fat) were obtained from different animals. Overall, the laser produced cleaner cuts and more reproducible and higher spectral quality signals when compared with the diathermic knife (CV laser = 9–12%, CV diathermic = 14–23%). The molecular profiles were subsequently entered into a database and PCA/LDA classification/prediction models were built to assess if the data generated with one sampling modality can be employed to classify the data generated with the other handpiece. We demonstrate that the correct classification rate of the models increases (+ 25%) with the introduction of a model based on peak lists that are tissue-specific and common to the two handpieces, compared with considering solely the whole molecular profile. This renders it possible to use a unique and universal database for quasi-instantaneous tissue recognition which would provide similar classification results independent of the handpiece used. Furthermore, the laser was able to generate aerosols rich in lipids from hard tissues such as bone, bone marrow, and cartilage. Combined, these results demonstrate that REIMS is a valuable and versatile tool for instantaneous identification/classification of hard tissue and coupling to different aerosol-generating handpieces expands its field of application.

The Comparison of Thermal Effects of a 1940‐nm Tm:fiber Laser and 980‐nm Diode Laser on Cortical Tissue: Stereotaxic Laser Brain Surgery
摘要： Background and Objectives: The thermal damage on adjacent healthy structures is always an unwanted consequence of continuous‐wave laser irradiation of soft tissues. To propose a laser as an effective alternative to traditional surgical tools, this photothermal damage due to heat conduction must be taken into account with a detailed laser dosimetry study. Two candidate lasers; a 980‐nm diode and 1940‐nm Tm:fiber were selected for this study. Despite the poor absorption by water, the 980‐nm diode laser has been one of the most widely used lasers in soft tissue surgeries due its good absorption by hemoglobin, which provides good homeostasis. The second laser; the Tm:fiber laser was selected due to its wavelength operating at an absorption peak of water (1,940 nm), which makes it a good candidate for ablation of biological tissues, and it is readily capable of being transmitted through flexible fiber optics to deliver energy to hard‐to‐reach regions. The underlying motivation for the research described in this paper is that with a comprehensive comparison of ablation capabilities and a detailed dose study of infrared lasers operating at different wavelengths and temperature monitoring of the tissue during laser surgery, it may be possible to specify the optimal laser parameters for laser surgery, and propose a treatment alternative to conventional surgical techniques in clinical use. The objectives of this study were to investigate and to compare the thermal effects of 980‐nm and 1940‐nm lasers on cortical tissue in vivo, to find the optimum parameters for laser‐brain‐ablation with minimum thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, and finally, to analyze laser irradiated tissue thermographically and histologically to correlate thermal events and tissue damage with laser irradiation parameters. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Stereotaxic laser brain surgeries were performed on 32 male Wistar rats. A t‐type thermocouple was used to measure the temperature of the nearby tissue at a distance of 1 mm above and 1 mm away from the fiber tip during laser surgery. Cresyl fast violet (CFV) staining was used to expose the thermal extent of laser surgery on cortical tissue. Eight tissue samples from each laser study group were processed for histological analysis and the mean ± standard deviation for thermal damage was reported. Thermal damage was quantified as ablation (thermally removed tissue), severe and mild coagulation (irreversible thermal damage) and edematous (reversible thermal damage) areas with regard to CFV stained slices. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to test if the ablation efficiencies and total damage, and edematous areas were correlated to rates of temperature change. Results: No significant adverse effects were observed during surgeries. We found that both lasers investigated were successful in cortical tissue removal. Our results also revealed that irrespective of the mode of operation, laser wavelength and laser power, there is a strong correlation between the rates of temperature change and ablation efficiencies and a negative correlation between the rate of temperature change and total damage and edematous area. Conclusions: Both lasers investigated were successful in cortical tissue removal. We also reported that when the amount of energy delivered to the tissue was constant, the most important issue was to deliver this energy in a short time to achieve more efficient ablations with less edema around the lesion, regardless of mode of delivery (continuous or pulsed‐modulated mode), but further studies including the healing period after laser surgeries have to be performed to compare the thermal extent of damage comprehensively.

Thermal Effects in the Ablation of Bovine Cortical Bone with Pulsed Laser Sources
摘要： Lasers have advantages as bone surgical tools over mechanical methods, but two goals should be achieved to assure its use: Similar ablation rates to those obtained with mechanical tools (1 mm3/s at least) and to avoid thermal damage, a condition that can prevent proper bone healing. We present results of cow femoral bone with a 355 nm nanosecond (ns) and a 1064 nm picosecond (ps) pulsed laser sources that allow us to discuss the influence on the process of pulse duration and the selective ablation through high energy absorption (as bone highly absorbs 355 nm radiation). The treated samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The evaluation of the thermal effects produced in the samples shows clear differences between both laser sources: On one hand, the ns laser allows reaching high ablation rates (around 1 mm3/s); Raman spectra show no signal of bone carbonization, but unavoidable thermal effects in the form of melted and solidified material have been observed by electron microscopy in the samples treated with this laser. On the other hand, ablation without any sign of thermal effects is obtained using the ps laser, but with lower ablation rates, (around 0.15 mm3/s).

[Laser Institute of America ICALEO? 2016: 35th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - San Diego, California, USA (October 16–20, 2016)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Selective femtosecond laser ablation of graphene for its micro-patterning
摘要： Due to the outstanding electrical properties of graphene, the demand of its clean and well-defined micro-structures for diverse applications has increased. However, such micro-structured graphene is difficult due to handling and machining problems. Femtosecond lasers are versatile tools for controlled ablation and resulting patterning process. In this paper, we present the selective ablation and functionalization of monolayers of graphene on 300 nm thick thermally grown silicon dioxide on silicon substrates with a Ti:sapphire laser (λ = 800 nm, τ = 40 fs). Investigations were performed on the micro-patterns in graphene ablated by the laser in the fluence range of 0.9-2.2 J/cm2. Just below the ablation threshold functionalization of the graphene layer was obtained. The resolution of the patterning was in the range of a few micrometers. In order to study the effect of oxidation of graphene at the ablation rim, the experiments were conducted both under ambient and inert gas atmosphere conditions. The morphology of the irradiated region of graphene was evaluated with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. With Raman spectroscopy the complete removal of graphene was ascertained. Finally, we find that femtosecond laser ablation is a promising method for direct writing of micro-patterns in graphene monolayers for various potential applications, e.g. for electrodes of thin film transistors.

Enhancement of ablation rate and production of colloidal nanoparticles by irradiation of metals with nanosecond pulsed laser in presence of external electric field
摘要： This paper presents the results of experimental study on the effect of electric field on the ablation rate during the nanosecond pulsed laser ablation of aluminum and copper in deionized water. The effect of electric field strength on the material removal rate and its mechanisms were investigated both in the electric field parallel and perpendicular to the laser beam path schemes. The ablation rate was estimated by measuring the dimensions of craters on the target induced by laser. The crater dimensions and optical properties of the produced colloidal nanoparticles were characterized by means of optical microscopy and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicate that pulsed laser ablation in the presence of an electric field significantly leads to higher material removal rate. The experimental results also confirm that the crater geometry extremely depends on the direction of the electric field with respect to the laser beam direction. The UV–Vis spectra show that the nanoparticles production efficiency increases with increasing the electric field strength.

Applications of Laser Ablation - Thin Film Deposition, Nanomaterial Synthesis and Surface Modification || Concurrent Multi-Target Laser Ablation for Making Nano-Composite Films
摘要： New method of using laser ablation for film deposition that can be called as concurrent multi-beam multi-target matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation and pulsed laser deposition (MBMT-MAPLE/PLD) is described. Practical MBMT-MAPLE/PLD system built at Dillard University has three separate laser beams, three targets and the remotely controlled plume overlapping mechanism that provides even mixing of the target materials during their deposition on the substrate. The system accommodates MAPLE targets in the form of polymer solutions frozen with flowing liquid nitrogen. The feasibility of the method was demonstrated when it was used for making polymer nano-composite films with two inorganic additives: upconversion fluorescent phosphor NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ and aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO). Three laser beams, an infrared 1064-nm beam for the MAPLE and two 532-nm beams for the PLD targets, were concurrently used in the process. The fabricated nano-composite films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical fluorescent spectroscopy, and the measurement of the quantum efficiency (QE) of the upconversion fluorescence. The size of the inorganic nanoparticles varied in the range 10–200 nm. The AZO additive increased QE by 1.6 times. The conclusion was made on the feasibility of MBMT-MAPLE/PLD method for making multi-component nano-composite films for various applications.
