Light and thermal fields in multilayer skin tissue exposed to laser irradiation

A simple model for calculating the light fields created by a laser beam in a multilayer biological tissue is proposed. On the basis of this model, the coefficient of diffuse reflection of skin and the penetration depth of light are found for the wavelength range 400–850 nm and for a wide range of variation in the structural and optical characteristics of the medium. The effect of localized light absorption by blood vessels is taken into account. The results obtained are shown to agree reasonably with published theoretical and experimental data. Using the found depth distributions of the absorbed energy as source functions for the thermal problem, the analytical solution for the spatiotemporal structure of the temperature field in the cutaneous covering irradiated by a laser beam was obtained. The thermal fields determined in terms of single-and two-layer models are compared, and the corresponding differences are discussed. Examples of the temperature depth profiles obtained at different instants after the beginning of irradiation are presented. The results obtained in terms of the analytical method proposed are demonstrated to agree satisfactorily with those yielded by the numerical finite difference scheme of the solution of the system of heat conduction equations.     

Low-fluence CO2 laser irradiation decreases enamel solubility

This study investigated whether subablative-pulsed CO₂ laser (10.6 μm) irradiation, using fluences lower than 1 J/cm², was capable of reducing enamel acid solubility. Fifty-one samples of bovine dental enamel were divided into three groups: control group, which was not irradiated (CG); group laser A (LA) irradiated with 0.3 J/cm²; and group laser B (LB) irradiated with 0.7 J/cm². After irradiation, the samples were subjected to demineralization in an acetate buffer solution and were then analyzed by SEM. A finite-element model was used to calculate the temperature increase. The calcium and phosphorous content in the demineralization solution were measured with an ICP-OES. ANOVA and the t-test pairwise comparison (p < 0.016) revealed that LB showed significantly lower mean Ca and P content values in the demineralization solution than other groups. A reduction in the enamel solubility can be obtained with pulsed CO₂ laser irradiation (0.7 J/cm², 135 mJ/pulse, 74 Hz, 100 μs) without any surface photomodification and a less than 2°C temperature increase at a 3-mm depth from the surface.     

CO2连续激光对单晶硅电池的辐照效应

 研究了CO₂激光对单晶硅太阳能电池的辐照效应,并对其损伤机理进行了分析。在激光功率密度较低而不能使电池产生物理损伤时,电池的性能会因在被辐照过程中温度的升高而产生暂时性降低;当激光功率密度高到使电池产生物理损伤时,电池的输出性能便产生永久下降。通过对比激光辐照前后电池伏安特性曲线和输出功率曲线的变化情况,结合对损伤形貌的分析,表明：当电池被物理损伤之后,电池的性能会出现大幅度下降,硅PN结的严重烧蚀破坏是主要原因。     

Closed form solutions for thermal stress field due to non-equilibrium heating during laser short-pulse irradiation

Non-equilibrium heating in the lattice sub-system results in high temperature gradients in the surface region. This in turn causes thermal stress waves propagating into the substrate material. In the present study, a closed form solution for thermal stress developed in the substrate material due to volumetric pulse heating is presented. The stress free and stress continuity boundary conditions at the surface are incorporated in the closed form solutions. It is found that thermal stress wave is tensile in the surface region and it becomes compressive at some depth below the surface for stress free condition at the surface; however, it remains compressive for the condition of stress continuity at the surface.

Structural phase modification of glass-ceramic materials under CO2 laser irradiation

Reversibility of the structural phase modification of glass-ceramics (photosensitive and nonphotosensitive) under CO₂-laser irradiation has been experimentally demonstrated. It is shown that CO₂-laser irradiation leads to glass crystallization and subsequent reverse amorphization of the glass-ceramics FS-1 and ST-50-1. Upon laser heating, the rate of such structural modifications is two to three orders of magnitude higher than upon stationary furnace heating. The technology of laser structural modification of glass-ceramics is promising for developing and manufacturing new optical and other types of elements and microstructures.     

CO2激光对熔石英表面小尺寸损伤的修复

利用10.6 μm的CO2激光对不同直径的点状损伤和不同宽度的划痕进行了修复。经过波长351 nm的紫外激光考核发现,对于直径小于80 μm的点状损伤和对于宽度小于40 μm的划痕,随着损伤点尺寸和划痕宽度的增加,修复后阈值提高程度逐渐降低。划痕的宽度在达到40 μm以后修复效果非常微弱。修复过程中,由于作用时间较短及温度分布不均产生了热应力导致样片损伤以后产生径向裂痕,后续的紫外激光会使裂痕明显扩展。当样品被置于高温退火炉内退火3 h以后,应力导致开裂的现象得到了解决。

Slip damage of silicon wafers subjected to continuous infrared laser irradiation

Laser irradiation can cause damage to solids, such as slipping, cracking, melting, and ablation. Silicon crystals are brittle, so slipping is a serious problem because it can easily result in fracture. This study investigates the amount of continuous near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiance that induces slip damage in a single-crystal silicon wafer. For this purpose we developed a simulation model based on heat transfer and thermo-elastic analyses. To verify the simulation model, silicon wafer specimens were irradiated by a fiber laser beam (of wavelength 1065 nm), and the surface morphology after laser beam irradiation was inspected using optical microscopy (OM). The irradiation time was fixed at 10 s, and nine different irradiances from 180 W/cm² to 380 W/cm² were tested in steps of 25 W/cm². No slip surface was found after exposure to the irradiances up to 230 W/cm², but straight slips in the <110> direction appeared at the irradiances of 255 W/cm² and above. These experimental findings agreed well with the simulation.     

Carbon cloth damage induced by various shapes of CO2 laser pulses

A qualitative study of the damages on a carbon cloth induced by various shapes of CO₂ laser pulses is presented. Three pulse shapes were used: short (100 ns, 84 MW/cm²), tailed (～100-ns spike of 70 MW/cm², 2-μs tail), and extralong (45 μs, 0.5 MW/cm²). Apparently, the energy absorbed by the cloth was mainly converted into thermal energy, causing a range of damages, from instantaneous evaporation to cracking and melting, all of which resulted in the cutting of individual fibers in the yarns of the cloth. The two longer types of pulses allowed sufficient time for the stabilization of the affected zone temperature, thus producing melting and a crater-like “burning through” of the cloth.     

CO2激光局域辐照对熔石英损伤特性的影响

研究了CO₂激光局域辐照对熔石英损伤特性的影响, 发现当辐照中心温度较低时(1139 K), 辐照对损伤阈值没有明显影响, 但辐照中心温度较高时(1638 K), 辐照对损伤阈值有明显的影响, 损伤阈值随距离辐照中心间距的增大而减小, 在残余应力产生光程差最大处附近, 损伤阈值降到最小, 随着与辐照中心间距的进一步增加, 损伤阈值略有上升. 对导致此现象的原因做了分析. 由于残余应力的存在, 在辐照中心发生再损伤产生的裂纹后, 裂纹先沿径向扩展, 在残余应力产生光程差最大处附近, 裂纹转而向切向扩展, 这可能与径向和环向张应力随半径的变化有关. 在采用热处理炉退火消除残余应力时, 必须注意元件的洁净处理, 否则退火会出现析晶现象, 对损伤阈值和透射率造成不良影响. 关键词： 2激光局域辐照')" href="#">CO₂激光局域辐照 熔石英 损伤特性

热阻塞效应对激光辐照靶材烧蚀过程的影响分析

研究了百兆瓦级激光烧蚀碳/碳复合材料靶材产生的等离子体吸收激光束能量引起的热阻塞效应。首先,基于逆轫致吸收理论,建立了激光在烧蚀靶材产生的等离子体中的传播模型;然后,基于磁流体理论,得到了等离子体在百兆瓦级激光形成的电磁场中的波动方程,建立了等离子体吸收激光能量引起热阻塞效应的模型。最后,对烧蚀过程中粒子的总密度、吸收系数、靶材表面等效热流随激光持续时间的变化规律以及是否考虑热阻塞效应时,靶面垂直方向的温度场进行了数值模拟。结果表明：等离子体的形成,对激光形成了明显的热阻塞效应,削弱了激光对靶材的烧蚀作用,使粒子总密度、吸收系数、靶材表面等效热流以及靶面垂直方向温度场的变化均呈现为非线性。
