Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, where a laser beam creates a melt pool, into which powder is fed from a powder nozzle. Due to the feed motion of the laser beam and the powder nozzle relative to the workpiece, coatings and 3D parts can be deposited, which consist of ... Read More
The effect of plasmon-wavelength scaled gratings on the surface plasmon resonance is studied experimentally and theoretically. The model samples are multi-layers containing laser fabricated gratings at bimetal-polymer interfaces. Dual-angle dependent surface plasmon resonance ... Read More
Cancer cells have an increased sensitivity to heat compared to healthy cells; at 42°C cancer cells are destroyed while normal cells can survive up to 47°C. Thus hyperthermia-based approaches that target specific spatial locations and simultaneously provide controlled thermal exposure ... Read More
Acoustic landmine detection is accomplished using a loud speaker as an airborne source to generate low-frequency waves that enter the soil at a certain incident angle. At a specific frequency, the landmine will "vibrate" at resonance, imparting a certain velocity on the soil particles ... Read More
A micromirror or a torsional actuator in general has been proven to be one of the most popular actuators fabricated by Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology in many industrial and biomedical applications such as RF switches, a laser scanning display, an optical switch matrix, ...

The aim of this study is to compare the diffraction efficiency of a sinusoidal diffraction grating numerically calculated using COMSOL Multiphysics® with the measured results performed with a custom-made equipment and calculations using Bessel functions. A diffraction grating with the ... Read More
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the major cytotoxic agent during type-II photodynamic therapy (PDT). The production of 1O2 involves the complex reactions among cancer agent, oxygen molecule, and treatment laser light. The light propagation in tumor tissue is described by the diffusion equation. ...

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) methods, like Electron Beam Sintering (EBS), constitute an interesting process concerning the production of small series and customized products. However, transient effects occur during processing due to the different physical principles of an electron ... Read More
For the complex 3D biocompatible metallic parts, with high level of customization, used in medical prosthesis and implants Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are the most common Additive Manufacturing technologies used nowadays. However, both ... Read More
Microbubble oscillations in the presence of ultrasound wave inside blood vessel have been widely studied for therapeutic applications like drug and gene delivery[1], blood-brain barrier opening[2], and lysis of blood clot[3] and cell membrane[4]. An oscillating bubble exerts stresses on ... Read More
