Title: INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUE FOR MICROSTRUCTURE METROLOGY USING AN INDEX MATCHING LIQUID
Author: Purcell, Daryl
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Optics
Description: Non-null interferometry offers a viable alternative to traditional interferometric testing of aspheric micro-lenses since computer generated holograms or null optics whose fabrication and testing are very expensive, are not required. However, due ...

Title: Improving Thulium Fiber Laser Lithotripsy Efficiency
Author: Hardy, Luke
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Optics
Description: Kidney stone disease affects approximately 10% of the U.S. population. Conventional Holmium:YAG infrared laser lithotripsy is a standard minimally invasive treatment that operates based on a photothermal interaction with the main chromophore in ti...

Title: Index-antiguided planar waveguide lasers with large mode area
Author: Liu, Yuanye
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Physics
Description: The on-going research and application interests with high power large-mode-area (LMA) waveguide lasers, especially in fiber geometry, at the beginning of this century drive the development of many novel waveguide designs. Index antiguiding, propos...

Title: Infrared Laser Fusion and Bisection of Blood Vessels with Real-Time Optical Diagnostic Feedback
Author: Giglio, Nicholas
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Optics
Description: The conventional method of suture ligation of vascular tissues during surgery is time consuming, skill intensive, and leaves foreign objects in the body. Energy-based radiofrequency(RF) and ultrasonic (US) devices have recently replaced the use of...

Title: Noninvasive Laser Vasectomy
Author: Cilip, Christopher
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: Development of a noninvasive vasectomy technique may eliminate male fear of complications (incision, bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain) and result in a more popular procedure. These studies build off previous studies that report the ability to...
