The effect of laser power, blood perfusion, thermal and optical properties of human liver tissue on thermal damage in LITT

Prof Khalid Salem

Prof. Dr. Mohammed abdulwahhab

Lateef HA

In this work, the finite-element method (FEM) was used to predict the temperature distribution, and the thermal damage volume in human liver tissue subjected to laser in laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). The effect of laser power, blood perfusion, and thermal and optical properties on maximum temperature and thermal damage volume were predicted using the finite-element method. A computer program was written in visual basic language, which was verified by comparing its result with data published elsewhere. The bio-heat equation together with the effect of linear laser source were used to simulate heat transfer through tissue from which the temperature distributions, and the subsequent thermal damage, were obtained based on Arrhenius equation. In this mathematical model for LITT, it was found that increasing laser power, absorption, and scattering coefficient increased the damage zone while increasing tissue water content, perfusion rate, and tissue anisotropy factor decreased the damage zone. These findings are important aspects for doctors in the pre-estimation of the damage zone before starting the therapy so as to kill only the desired zone.

The exact analytical solution of axis-symmetry transient temperature and Tresca failure stress in pulsed mode solid state laser rod is derived using Integral transform method. The result obtained from this work is compared with previously published data and good agreement is found. The effect of increasing period is studied, and it is found that at constant pulse width as the period is increased, the allowable pumping power is increased too. Furthermore, the effect of changing pulse width with a constant period is studied, and it is found that as the pulse width is increased, the allowable pumping power is decreased. The effect of duty cycle is studied also and it is found that as duty cycle is increased the allowable pumping power is decreased. This work permits proper selection of pulse width, period and duty cycle to avoid laser rod fracture while obtaining maximum output laser power in the designing of laser system.

An Investigation on Optical Measuring Systems using Different Types of Optical Fibre Links and Performance of Optical Sensors

Muthana Ammar

 One of the most notable characteristics of free-space optical measurement systems is their capability for directly affecting those assessment systems which operate within the context of propagation paths. As the literature attests to, light is dispersed or interfered with as it propagates through an optical fibre, the consequence of which is that the signal at the output end experiences a level of loss. However, the degree to which loss occurs as part of this process can be detected with appropriate technologies, and each error can they be afforded with an uncertainty outcome.

Solid core PCF (LMA-10) is dependent which based on the principle of the Mach Zender interference to detect the leakage of oil bearing pipes. The basic structure of the sensor includes small pieces with different lengths of the solid core photonic Crystal fiber spliced with the using traditional single mode fibers (SMF-25) by molten splice in both sides. The air holes at the fusion zone are completely collapsed, allowing the core cladding patterns to irritate and recombine the core cladding.The pipes different thickness causes wavelengths shifting and variation in the sensor intensity. The immediate phenomenon caused by erosion is the pipeline wall thickness decreasing. The pipeline wall thickness decreasing could be reflected by the obtained hoop strain depending on the theory principle that hoop strain is proportion conversely with pipeline wall thickness. The PVC and the steel pipe patterns are utilized to simulate the pipeline with uniform erosion. In this paper a sensor of three different length is used (2, 2.5, 3) cm and examined to know the most sensitive sensor to pipe thickness change <Leak> at temperature (36 ° C) where the leakage is known by a change in the external intensity or radiation deviation to the red shift area, and the calculation of the stress generated by cracks which is inversely proportional to the pipe wall thickness. The experimental results show that the sensor of the highest sensitivity is the second sensor 2.5 cm where it is about 0.31 for metal pipe and 0.25 for polymer pipe.

Effects of atmospheric turbulence on the imagining performance of optical system

Abdul Hadi Moneem

Eman Yousif

Fatin Zain

Ghada Sabah Karam

Abaas Al-Saedi

Turbulent effects are very complicated and still not entirely understood. Light waves from an astronomical object are distorted as they pass through the atmosphere. The refractive index fluctuations in the turbulent atmosphere induce an optical path difference (OPD) between different parts of the wavefront, distorted wavefronts produce low-quality images and degrade the image beyond the diffraction limit. In this paper the image degradation due to 2-D Gaussian atmospheric turbulence is considered in terms of the point spread function (PSF), and Strehl ratio as an image quality criteria for imaging systems with different apertures using the pupil function teqneque. A general expression for the degraded PSF in the case of circular and square apertures (with half diagonal = π2  ⎯ ⎯ ⎯  √ π2, and 1) diffraction limited and defocused optical system is considered. Based on the derived formula, the effect of the Gaussian atmospheric turbulence on circular and square pupils has been studied with details. Numerical results show that the performance of optical systems with square aperture is more efficient at high levels of atmospheric turbulence than the other apertures.

Maha. R. Abdul-Hussein

Start your abstract here The novel of this paper is, using gradient refractive index and spherical surfaces to design a bifocal polyurethane lens with single power instead of the previous designs, which consist of two lens with different powers to correct the vision of near and medium distances at the same time. Presbyopia occurs naturally as eyes age and the structure of the lens responsible for focusing images changes. Presbyopia treatments include corrective lenses like eyeglasses known as progressive lenses. The aims of this work were to evaluate the performance of the human eye after the treatment by using different gradient refractive glass materials. Zemax was used to design an optical system for human eye based on Liu & Brennan model. Two types of optical materials, namely, borosilicate and polyurethane, were selected to design a multifocal lens. The effects of these materials on the performance of the human eye were compared to select the best material. Three different criteria were used; minimum root mean square error, the modulation transfer function and the diffraction image analysis. Modulation transfer function and root mean square Results show that the polyurethane lens is more suitable than the borosilicate lens for correcting presbyopia. Polyurethane material lens gave a better eye performance in three distances, namely, farther, intermediate, and near than the borosilicate lens. Polyurethane lens could be used as trifocal while borosilicate work only as Bifocal lens. The Results suggested that by using only one polyurethane lens power with gradient refractive index and a variable conic for lens curvature in Zemax corrected the vision of distance, near and medium distances at one time.

Ali Hadi Abdul Moneem

Rajaa Abdulameer

Maha. R. Abdul-Hussein

This study aims to design an optical system based on the model of Liu & Brennan by using Zemax EE2006 program. This model was selected because it more accurately reflects anatomical and visual data as compared to the physiological eye model. Polyurethane lens (Pu) is designed for patients with presbyopia patients by using multi-configuration function in Zemax. According to human eye structure, three distances were defined, namely, far (10.0+09mm), middle (1000mm), and near (500mm), to simulate the position of the body, investigate the difference in image received by the eye, and determine the effect of visual defect on image quality. Several techniques have been adopted in the Zemax program to evaluate the visual design efficiency and the magnitude of the difference in the image before and after lens insertion. Results showed that bi-focal polyurethane lens exhibited good performance for far and intermediate distances.

This work is dedicated to investigation of temperature effects in Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) nanostructures. The LiNbO3 nanostructures were deposited on glass substrate by spin-coating technique. LiNbO3 was set down at 3000 rpm for 30 sec and annealed from 100 to 600 °C. The structures were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultra-violet visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. The measured results have showed that by increasing annealing temperatures, the structures start to be more crystallized and be more homogenized until the optimum arrangement was achieved. Once this was accomplished, it's applicable for optical waveguides development. Eventually, it starts to be less crystallization and non-homogeneous. Energy gap was recorded to be at average value of 3.9 eV.

This paper focuses on the structure and optical properties of Lithium niobate (LN) deposited on quartz substrate by sol-gel method. The solution was prepared at different molarity concentration and annealed at 500 °C. The LNs were analyzed by UV-visible, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results show that as the molar concentration increases, the films crystallization becomes more atomically distributed and the energy band gap approaches 4 eV. Transmission spectra were taken in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. Hexagonal structure was observed with good atoms distribution and homogeneous crystallization. There were two phases of LNs recorded in this work.

This paper explored physical properties of LiNbO3 thin films that was deposited on quartz substrate employing spray pyrolysis technique. New raw materials were exploited as the precursor compounds. The films were annealed at different annealing temperatures, i.e. room temperature to 600 °C. The LiNbO3 are characterized and analyzed by the FESEM, AFM, X-ray diffraction and analyzed by UV–Visible and photoluminescence. The optical properties were analyzed by ultra violet- visible (UV–Visible) and photoluminescence measurements. The results indicated that the orientation of films crystallization and the grain size decreased with the increment of annealed temperatures. Energy band gap was recorded approximately 3.9 eV. The transmission efficiency was found to be in the range of 43–78%. Refractive index was observed from 2.02 to 2.43. Optical conductivity increased from 1.8 × 104 to 2.4 × 104 (s−1). The real and imaginary components of dielectric constants (εr, εi), and Urbach energy decreased with higher annealing temperature.

High purity Ag2O (silver Oxide) thin films with high transparent conductive properties will be deposited
successfully by reactive pulsed laser deposition method. The Optical property shows a high transparency reached to about
(90) % and found to decreases sharply with decreasing of laser fluency. The optical energy band gap of the deposited film
at the optimum prepared condition is around 3.46eV. The prepared samples were analyzed using the UV-visible and
photoluminescence. The results give an indication that the deposited films crystallize to be more regular in the distribution
of atoms, and the energy band gap approaches 3.47 eV when the laser fluency decrease. The optical investigations and
constant of the energy band gap, the refractive index, and the extinction coefficient were also elaborated.

This work presents the successful preparation of niobium pentoxide micro structures thin films at room temperature. A chemical colloidal suspension was deposited employing Spin coating method. Nb2O5 thin films were prepared at two different thicknesses before and after ultrasonic vibration processes. Optical, structural, and morphological properties were studied. An enhanced crystalline structure with bigger grain size at both thicknesses was obtained after ultrasonic process; this was ensured by SEM results. The energy gap of the prepared films was estimated and found to be about (2.81, 2.42) eV for (T1 = 325 nm) and (2.59, 2.32) eV at the second thickness (T2 = 425 nm). The I–V characteristic study of prepared heterojunction on silicon substrate show an increase in the rectification ratio after the ultrasonic vibrational process for both thicknesses.

 In this work, the effects of two apodization functions on the performance of two dispersion compensators, namely, linear and quadratic chirps, based on chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG), are investigated and simulated. The hyperbolic tangent function (Tanh) represents the first profile, which is used directly from OptiSystem 13, while the second function is the sine cardinal (Sinc) profile, which is simulated by OptiGrating 4 software before this profile is incorporated in the OptiSystem. Tanh and Sinc profiles are simulated by linear and quadratic CFBGs for 100 GHz × 10 Gb/s wavelength division multiplexing system within two channels. Results indicate that the linear CFBG that is based on Sinc profile performance with an effective index of 1.46 represents an improved architecture for chromatic dispersion compensation. The proposed CFBG within both apodization profiles efficiently compensated the chromatic dispersion for fiber length > 90 km.

Broadband optical frequency comb generator based on driving N-cascaded modulators by Gaussian-shaped waveform

ا.م.د. جاسم كاظم حمود

ا.د. سليمان وادي هارون

A new approach for realizing a wideband optical frequency comb (OFC) generator based on driving cascaded modulators by a Gaussian-shaped waveform, is proposed and numerically demonstrated. The setup includes N-cascaded MZMs, a single Gaussian-shaped waveform generator, and N-1 electrical time delayer. The first MZM is driven directly by a Gaussian-shaped waveform, while delayed replicas of the Gaussian-shaped waveform drive the other MZMs. An analytical model that describes the proposed OFC generator is provided to study the effect of number and chirp factor of cascaded MZM as well as pulse width on output spectrum. Optical frequency combs at frequency spacing of 1 GHz are generated by applying Gaussian-shaped waveform at pulse widths ranging from 200 to 400 ps. Our results reveal that, the number of comb lines is inversely proportional to the pulse width and directly proportional to both number and chirp factor of cascaded MZMs. At pulse width of 200 ps and chirp factor of 4, 67 frequency lines can be measured at output spectrum of two-cascaded MZMs setup. Whereas, increasing the number of cascaded stages to 3, 4, and 5, the optical spectra counts 89, 109 and 123 frequency lines; respectively. When the delay time is optimized, 61 comb lines can be achieved with power fluctuations of less than 1 dB for five-cascaded MZMs setup.

Using laser in modifying the surfaces of various materials is an important topic in the present time. The type of alloy used in this investigation was 6009Al alloy. Laser has been used as inhibitor to reduce the corrosion rate by using Q-switching Nd: YAG Laser (with changing energy of laser and fixing other parameters) under laser shock peening (LSP) technique for 6009 AA in hydrochloric acid with concentration of 1 M and the immersion time of 30 minutes at room temperature. The corrosion rate was calculated by using the polarization method. The corrosion rate decreased from (0.366 to 0.016) mm/yr before and after using LSP, respectively. Therefore, this study aims to reduce the corrosion rate that occurs in 6009 Al alloy.

The irradiation of teeth with laser in combination with remineralizing agent revealed higher caries resistance. This studyaims to investigate the effect of laser and CPP-ACP agent in remineralizing initial caries-like lesion using SEM and EDS analysis. Twenty four teeth (upper first premolar) were divided into control and study groups, the study group was
subdivided into five groups (pH_cycling, laser, CPP-ACP, CPP-ACP followed by laser, Laser followed by CPP-ACP), each group included four teeth, one for SEM and three for EDS analysis. Surface temperature change equation was used to determine the maximum power that enhances morphological and chemical changes in the enamel surface without thermal damage. For both calcium and phosphorus the mean atomic percentages were reduced after demineralization (pH_cycling), then after the application of laser both calcium and phosphorus revealed slight reduction. After application of remineralizing agent (CPP-ACP) both calcium and phosphorus the mean atomic percentages increased and further increase of both calcium and phosphorus the mean atomic percentages was recorded when a combination of CPP-ACP
and laser was used. A maximum increase of the mean atomic percentage of both elements was recorded when the laser was applied first followed by CPP-ACP agent. The combination of laser therapy followed by CPP-ACP application is recommended as efficient preventive measure for remineralizing initial caries – like lesion in permanent teeth. Also the use of 0.852 watt for 5 seconds was efficient in enhancing morphological and chemical changes in the enamel surface without thermal damage.

The image processing and data mining techniques
are commonly utilized in the engineering and medical science
fields. In this system, the role of bag-of-words (BOW) approach
and data mining techniques is automatically investigated in the
diagnosis of retinopathy diabetes. For feature extraction, the
speed-up robust features (SURF) algorithm and the BOW are
used to store these features as a dictionary. The multiclass
support vector machine (SVM) with redial basis function (RBF)
kernel is used to classify the retinal images into their grading.
The proposed system was tested on the publicly available
MESSIDOR dataset. Finally, the discrimination system was
evaluated by the confusion matrix. Results were then
summarized as follows; the result of the contour representation
to obtain a region of interest (ROI) for the retinal structure
founded of all dataset has been 100%. The averages of the
accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for the overall proposed
system have been 94%, 91% and 93%, respectively.

Huge efforts have been put in the developing of diagnostic methods to skin cancer disease. In this paper, two different approaches have been addressed for detection the skin cancer in dermoscopy images. The first approach uses a global method that uses global features for classifying skin lesions, whereas the second approach uses a local method that uses local features for classifying skin lesions. The aim of this paper is selecting the best approach for skin lesion classification. The dataset has been used in this paper consist of 200 dermoscopy images from Pedro Hispano Hospital (PH2). The achieved results are; sensitivity about 96%, specificity about 100%, precision about 100%, and accuracy about 97% for globalization approach while, sensitivity about 100%, specificity about 100%, precision about 100%, and accuracy about 100% for Localization Approach, these results showed that the localization approach achieved acceptable accuracy and better than globalization approach for skin cancer lesions classification.

ا.م.د. اياد زوين محمد

This work aims to find low-cost ways and means to improve some special characteristics of the samples used. Tin bronze samples were prepared and machined with dimensions of 15mm×15mm×20 mm for surface roughness and micro hardness tests and machined as two cylindrical bars with diameters of 20 and 15 mm and length of 170 mm for torsion test. Laser shock processing by Nd-YAG laser with wavelength of 532 nm and transparent confinement layer was used to modify the sample surface to improve the surface roughness and micro hardness .The enhancement of torsion strength was achieved by Nd-YAG laser treatment without confinement layer. Different exposure times and laser effect distances were used to achieve the purpose of this work. The torsion strength results exhibited that the values increased with percentage of 44% at the best case, whereas the values of surface roughness increased by twofold. Finally the laser treatment improved the micro hardness by 53%.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were mixed carefully with gold (Au) nanoparticles. These chemical-compounds were used to make nanocomposite thin films by using the technique of spray pyrolysis. This work studies the XRD spectra of nanocomposite thin film of ZnO:Au,
there two peaks with the orientation of (100) and (002) for the ZnO nanoparticles were found at 2θ = 31.5582 and 34.1617, which are specified by the reference of ZnO powder diffraction of card number (96-901-1663), and one peak with (111) orientation of gold nanoparticles at 2θ = 38.5799 by the reference of Au powder diffraction of card number
(96-901-2431) was found. The AFM images of ZnO, Au and ZnO:Au nanocomposite thin films showed that all the specimens have a grainy nature. The results of optical properties were clearly demonstrated that when the wavelength increases the transmission increases, while the absorption coefficient, attenuation coefficient and energy gap decreases. Finally the dielectric constant measurements proved that real part dielectric constant and imaginary part dielectric constant of all trials decreases rapidly when the frequency is increasing.
