چکیده

The optically excited surface plasmon has been successfully used for detecting laser-generated acoustic pulse in solution. Both experimental and theoretical results show that the sensitivity of this optical transducer strongly depends on the incident angle of the probe beam, the thickness and the complex dielectric constant of the metallic film. For gold films, the maximum sensitivity could be achieved with an optimum thickness of 46 nm at an angle of incidence of 55.6°. The sensitivity can be improved by a factor of 7 by replacing the gold film with a silver film of a thickness of 54 nm.

The study of propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in the breast tissue

In this paper, the evaluation of time profile of a femtosecond pulse laser propagated through biological tissues is studied. The majority of the biological tissues with a high scattering anisotropy must be considered as turbid media, that their optical responses are complicated. To study the propagation of ultra-short pulse in turbid media, the diffuse equation is used. In this study, the analy...

Optical Opacity of Laser Induced Plasma in Distilled Water with NaCl and TiO2 Nanoparticles Impurities

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of laser induced optical breakdown in impure water was studied by using a pump- probe technique. The plasma was induced by a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser pulse (with pulse duration ~10 ns) in distilled water with two types of impurities: (I) a solution (highly diluted salt water as a conductor) and (II) a colloidal (TiO2 in colloidal nanoparticle form as a dielectric...
