Article Abstract

A new scheme of a highly efficient hybrid laser cavity is proposed and experimentally demonstrated utilizing a hot cesium (Cs) vapor cell as an optical gain medium. The laser cavity consists of a macroscopic concave reflector (> 99% reflectivity) and a 4% Fresnel-reflecting facet of a single mode fiber (SMF). The cesium gain cell is located between these two reflectors. The SMF serves multiple roles: (1) a passive mode-matching component to approximate the pump beam diameter to that of the laser cavity mode within the cesium cell, (2) an output coupler with a low reflectivity, and (3) a low loss laser delivery with a high beam-quality. Optimizing the pump beam waist diameter and the cesium vapor cell temperature, a high slope efficiency of 86% and an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 71% were achieved in the pump power range of 400-600 mW. The unique multi-functional role of the SMF in the hybrid cavity is fully described, which can also be applied to other high optical gain media.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of intraoral (IOPBM) and extraoral photobiomodulation (EOPBM) protocols for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with oral or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to submitted radiotherapy (RT).

Methods: This randomized, blinded, multicenter clinical trial enrolled 58 patients with oral or oropharyngeal SCC, who were allocated into two groups matched by treatment type, clinical stage, and RT modality. Group I (IOPBM) received intraoral photobiomodulation (PBM) with a continuous InGaAlP diode laser (660 nm, 100 mW, 0.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide, yet conventional therapies are invasive and prone to resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive modality, but its efficacy is limited by tumor hypoxia and poor photosensitizer delivery. Here, we report a photoacoustic-imaging nanomotor, PPIC, which addresses these challenges through integrated functions of oxygen production, deep tissue penetration and photoacoustic imaging.
