AbstractExcimer lasers sources of 193nm and 157 nm wavelength were used to obtain new photoablation etching rates for several materials of interest to the microelectronics industry. The harder 157nm radiation provided lower ablation rates and smaller threshold fluences for Polyimide and Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) than with 193nm. For normally robust materials like quartz and Teflon (PTFE), the 157nm laser produced clean and smooth ablation sites with low threshold fluences of 620mJ/cm2 and 68mJ/cm2, respectively, features impossible to obtain with conventional excimer lasers at longer wavelengths. The data should help define new micromachining applications of these two materials for the electronic, optical or medical industry. Results are also reported for GaAs and InP based materials which are found to undergo moderate etch rates of 30-80nm/pulse at fluences of ∼3J/cm2, but suffer thermal damage and material segregation due to surface melting.

We report on multiphoton ionization experiments using picosecond (ps) and sub-ps UV-laser radiation at focused intensities up to 1018 W/cm2. The experiments are concerned with determining the electron temperature of optically ionized gases produced by intense KrF lasers. Thomson scattering, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and X-ray emission measurements have been made and compared with modeling calculations of heating. A particular objective is to identify the respective roles of above-threshold ionization, nonlinear inverse bremsstrahlung absorption, and SRS in determining the temperature of the electrons. Results for 350-fs pulses are compared with previous measurements for 12-ps pulses (for which strikingly different behavior is observed). The importance of using subps, short-wavelength lasers to minimize electron temperature is confirmed.

Photoconverters (PCs) of laser radiation (LR) for the range 520 - 540 nm based on GaInP/GaAs heterostructures have been investigated. It is shown that a decrease in the CuPt ordering in GaInP layers due to the introduction of antimony atoms leads to a short-wavelength shift of the absorption edge with a simultaneous increase in the open-circuit voltage. An increase in the total thickness of the photoactive layers of PC results in an increase in the spectral response. The performed optimization allows increasing the efficiency of the LR PC from 39.4% to 44.4%.

Under laser radiation, cells labeled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are believed to suffer thermal damage due to the transfer of the absorbed light from the AuNPs to the cells. This process, which involves complex mechanisms such as the rapid electron–phonon decay in the AuNPs , followed by phonon–phonon relaxation, culminates in the localized heating of both the AuNPs and the cells, setting the rational for the use of these nanostructures, under laser light, in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, we discuss the chemical and biological aspects of this promising new therapeutic approach, including the advantages over conventional cancer therapies and the challenges that scientists still need to overcome to progress toward translation research.

The aim of our work was the experimental development of the optimal laser radiation regime (laser wavelength 980 nm) for dissecting scars of the upper respiratory tract in terms of lateral thermal damage to surrounding tissues. Thermal damage is of fundamental importance when exposed to scar tissue, since it leads to inflammation in the dissection zone, which increases the risk of restenosis. The study was conducted on the basis of the Chair of Otorhinolaryngology with a clinic of Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University. A pork tendon was chosen as a model of biological tissue due to the similar optical and mechanical properties of scar tissue. The incision was made in the continuous contact mode at a power of 7 W and in the contact pulse mode at a power of 15 W (pulse – 20 ms, pause – 60 ms). The impact on the tissue in these modes was carried out in two directions: from the proximal edge of the tendon to the distal and vice versa. The measurement of the width of the ablation and coagulation zones was carried out under microscopic conditions using an eyepiece micrometer with an increase of ×40. The average width of the zone of lateral tissue damage when exposed in the contact pulse mode in the distal direction is 355±19 nm, which is comparable with the results of a CO2-laser in the superpulse mode.
