Fast-Response Variable-Stiffness Magnetic Catheters for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Yi Sun, Matteo Righi

In minimally invasive surgery, such as cardiac ablation, magnetically steered catheters made of variable-stiffness materials can enable higher dexterity and higher force application to human tissue. However, the long transition time between soft and rigid ...

On the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with layered dielectric materials

Ruben Ricca

Materials properties are strictly dependent on their microstructure. The internal symmetries and the disposition of the constituting atoms of a material, which depend on its crystallographic structure, greatly affect its response to mechanical, electromagn ...

All-glass miniature GHz repetition rate femtosecond laser cavity

Yves Bellouard, Antoine Maxime Delgoffe, Saood Ibni Nazir, Sargis Hakobyan

Free-space optics allows for design freedom and control, but miniaturization and manufacturability are limited. Here, we present a method for manufacturing complex miniaturized free-space optical systems that combines contactless femtosecond laser-activate ...

Femtosecond laser-induced modifications and self-organization in complex glass systems

Gözden Torun

Ultrashort laser pulses, i.e., pulses emitted shorter than a picosecond, can tailor material properties by introducing permanent modifications locally in three dimensions. Remarkably, under a certain exposure condition, these modifications are accompanied ...

In situ monitoring of femtosecond laser-induced modifications in dielectrics

Olivier Bernard

Over the last decades, the progress made in the generation of laser pulses shorter than a picosecond (10^-12 s) has allowed us to reach extreme optical power intensities exceeding 10^15 W cm^-2. This tremendous power has triggered an abundance of original ...

Formation Mechanism of Elemental Te Produced in Tellurite Glass Systems by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation

Yves Bellouard, Gözden Torun

The formation of elemental trigonal tellurium (t-Te) on tellurite glass surfaces exposed to femtosecond laser pulses is discussed. Specifically, the underlying elemental crystallization phenomenon is investigated by altering laser parameters in common tell ...

Enhancement of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive by CO2 Laser Treatment

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey, Jianhang Yang

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are polymeric films that can be adhered to and detached from surfaces without leaving residue. Researchers are looking to enhance the bond strength between PSAs and different substrates. It can be achieved by tuning PSA' ...

Abnormal temperature dependent elastic properties of fused silica irradiated by ultrafast lasers

Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter

Materials with thermal-invariant elastic properties are of interest for resonant device frequency and dimensional stability of precision devices. Here, we demonstrate that the temperature coefficient of elasticity (TCE) of amorphous silica can be locally r ...

Laser treatment systems and methods for in-situ laser shock peening (lsp) treatment of parts during production thereof by a selective laser sintering or melting (sls/slm) process, and additive manufacturing systems and methods implementing the same

Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics

There is described, in accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a laser treatment system and method for, in particular, imparting beneficial residual stresses into a desired part (P) during production thereof by a Selective Laser Sintering or Melti ...
