    FTIR imaging on glass substrates evaluation of histological skin burn injuries specimens treated by femtosecond laser pulses
    2022 - ZEZELL, DENISE; CASTRO, PEDRO; DEL-VALLE, MATHEUS; CAMILLO-SILVA, CARLOS; SAMAD, RICARDO; DE ROSSI, WAGNER; SANTOS, MOISES
    Burn injuries continue to be one of the leading causes of unintentional death and injury in low- and middle-income countries [1]. Burns are considered an important public health problem, because in addition to physical problems that can lead the patient to death, they cause psychological and social damage. An estimated 180,000 deaths every year are caused by burns [2]. The use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy for studying biological specimens is nowadays a wide and active area of research. The IR microspectroscopy has proved to be an ideal tool for investigating the biochemical composition of biological samples at the microscopic scale, as well as its fast, sensitive, and label-free nature [3]. IR image spectral histopathology has shown great promise as an important diagnostic tool, with the potential to complement current pathological methods, reducing subjectivity in biopsy samples analysis. However, the use of IR transmissive substrates which are both fragile and prohibitively very expensive, hinder the clinical translation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of discriminating healing process, in burned skin specimens treated with ultrashort pulses laser 3 days after the burn. This study is considering a previous paper [4], in which it analyzed only micro-ATR-FTIR spectra of a frozen sample point. The specimens were obtained from third degree burn wound. The wounds treatment were performed three days after the burn, and the animals were sacrificed 3 and 14 days post-treatment. Using coverslipped H&E stained tissue on glass from previous histopathological analysis and applying the analytical techniques PCA and K-means on N−H, O−H, and C−H stretching regions occurring at 2500−3800 cm−1 (high wavenumber region), were possible to discriminate burned epidermal and dermal regions from irradiated in same regions on sample. In the figures is shown the average spectrum at (a) day 3 and (b) day 14. , in both there were increase of burned+laser treated bands. The great potential of this study was to analyse coverslipped H&E stained tissue on glass, without compromising the histopathologist practices and contribute for clinical translation.

    High intensity ultrashort laser pulses and their applications at IPEN
    2021 - SAMAD, RICARDO E.; MALDONADO, EDISON P.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.
    Ultrashort laser pulses interact with matter in unique, nonselective ways, due to electronic direct excitation in an ultrafast time scale. Additionally, these pulses can cover peak powers from kW to PW, allowing its use to induce from nonlinear optics up to relativistic phenomena. Here we present a quick overview of the important processes induced in matter by high-intensity ultrashort pulses, and describe results obtained in our laboratory, including our most recent goal of accelerating electrons with ultrashort pulses for practical applications.

    Study of ablation on surfaces of zircaloy Z-4 irradiated with femtosecond laser
    2019 - GUANABARA JUNIOR, PAULO; NOGUEIRA, ALESSANDRO F.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.; ROSSI, WAGNER de
    The use of ultrashort femtosecond laser pulses is an alternative for micro machining on metal surfaces, with several industrial applications, in such areas as aeronautics, aerospace, naval, nuclear, among others, where there is growing concern about service reliability. Thus, markings for traceability purposes should ensure the integrity of the metal as well as allow reading of the marked characters, whether automated or not. In this work, micro machining of zircaloy Z 4 surfaces using femtosecond laser was performed aiming at the knowledge of the ablation threshold and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis in different images. Obtained from micro machined traces, energy fluence parameters and laser pulse overlap. The amount of ablated material in this femtosecond laser micro machining is negligible, which contributes to ensuring that there is no mi crostructural damage. Such a process resulted in different images, which characterize that there are different optical properties because of the parameters change.

    Avaliação do desempenho de ferramenta de metal duro texturizada por laser de pulsos ultracurtos
    2019 - ALMEIDA, GUSTAVO S. de; COELHO, REGINALDO T.; CARNEIRO, MARCELO B.; BARBOSA, PATRICIA A.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; SAMAD, RICARDO E.; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.; MACHADO, ALISSON R.
    A texturização por laser de pulsos ultracurtos provoca uma ablação com mínimo dano térmico, preservando as características adjacentes do material ablacionado. Deste modo, torna-se possível gerar microtexturas na superfície de saída da ferramenta de usinagem, buscando melhoria de desempenho. Este trabalho realiza uma comparação entre duas ferramentas de corte de metal-duro, TPUN 160304, sendo uma texturizada e a outra de referência (nãotexturizada), durante o torneamento de um aço inoxidável austenítico (V304UF). Para isto, os parâmetros de corte foram mantidos constantes. Avaliou-se a força de usinagem, o desgaste de flanco da ferramenta, além da rugosidade produzida sobre a peça. Os resultados mostraram um melhor comportamento para ferramenta texturizada.

    Modifying the second order dispersion of femtosecond laser pulses to crack silver nanoparticles and control their dimensions
    2019 - CORDEIRO, THIAGO da S.; AMARAL, MARCELLO M.; MATOS, RICARDO A. de; SILVA, FLAVIA R.O.; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.; COURROL LILIA C.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    The potential application of metallic nanoparticles had been attracting attention and interest from different areas of academia and industry. The nanoparticles properties and applications depend heavily on their dimension and shape, thus special interest is aimed to controlling the nanoparticles sizes. Ultrashort laser pulses are known to change metallic nanoparticles characteristics, but the interaction mechanism is still not completely understood. In this work we reduced the dimension of silver nanoparticles with ultrashort pulses and demonstrated that there is a dependence of the particles size on the second order dispersion introduced in the pulses, which became smaller as the dispersion becomes more negative. Based on the results, we propose that the Coulomb explosion that reduces the nanoparticles size is predominantly initiated by multiphotonic ionization for the intensities used (1014 W/cm2).

    Focus tracking system for femtosecond laser machining using low coherence interferometry
    2019 - RAELE, MARCUS P.; DE PRETTO, LUCAS R.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    We designed a real time, single-laser focus tracking system using low coherence properties of the machining femtosecond laser itself in order to monitor and correct the sample position relative to the focal plane. Using a Michelson Interferometer, the system collects data arising from part of the beam backscattered at the ablation spot. The data is analyzed by a custom software for position correction (employing an XYZ automated translation stage). With the focus tracking enabled we were able to etch channels with a stable cross-section profile on a bovine tooth with relief amplitude tens of times greater than the Rayleigh length of the system, keeping the sample inside the confocal parameter during most of the processing time. Moreover, the system is also capable of monitoring crater depth evolution during the ablation process, allowing for material removal assessment.

    High intensity femtosecond lasers at IPEN
    2018 - SAMAD, R.E.; MALDONADO, E.P.; COURROL, L.C.; ROSSI, W. de; BALDOCHI, S.L.; ZEZELL, D.M.; VIEIRA JUNIOR, N.D.
    High intensity femtosecond (fs) lasers have become an affordable and versatile tool to modify all kinds of materials and to characterize the induced modifications. These capabilities derive from the ultrafast interaction between the electromagnetic field and matter, which distinguishes this kind of laser from all others. In the time frame of the fs pulses, the predominant interaction with the matter occurs through electron excitation, and several processes take place with increasing intensity: nonlinear excitation, ionization and recombination, which occur in a non-selective way due to the short time of interaction. The after-pulse evolution is due mainly to electrostatic interactions, involving the relaxation of the electrons energy to and between atoms. Coulomb and phase explosions, for example, are predominant for intensities in the range of TW/cm2 to PW/cm2, and they ablate all material (metals, polymers, dielectrics, etc) with a very high precision due to the small heat effect zone of these interactions. At the High Intensity Ultrashort Pulses Lasers Laboratory at IPEN we daily generate femtosecond pulses with intensities of 100 TW/cm2 and above. In this work we describe results obtained by our group using ultrashort pulses from Ti:Sapphire lasers covering the creation of color centers in crystals, glasses and polymers, the inscription of waveguides and the creation of surface structures that can range from the colorization of metals to the manufacture of microfluidic circuits, as well as the removal of burned tissue from living organisms. The pulses can also be used to study how defects pileup during the etching of a solid by superimposing pulses, and how the ablation process is affected by the incubation. At higher intensities the pulses can modify materials, and we present the controlled synthesis of nanoparticles, and the modification of graphite into diamond by the shockwaves generated during the ablation as a product of an evolving underdense plasma that generates local high temperatures and pressures. Also, the materials characterization is possible by spectroscopic measurements of the plasma elements atomic lines. Furthermore, we present results on the production of radiation on the deep ultraviolet by generation of harmonics of the laser interaction with gases, and also our recent efforts towards the acceleration of electrons by ultrashort laser pulses. Both the harmonics and electrons ultrafast beams could be used to modify and characterize materials by pump-probe, spectroscopic and diffraction measurements.

    Redução do atrito por meio da texturização a laser com pulsos ultracurtos do aço DIN 16MnCr5
    2018 - VIEIRA, ALEXANDRE; SAMA, RICARDO E.; JUNIOR, NILSON D.V.; ROSSI, WAGNER de
    A indústria automobilística tem como um de seus principais desafios, e consequentemente, foco de pesquisa, a redução do coeficiente de atrito entre alguns componentes e sistemas presentes nos automóveis. Um dos grandes benefícios dos avanços nesta área é o aumento da vida útil dos componentes e a melhor eficiência do motor. Desta maneira, uma das formas propostas pela tribologia para a redução de atrito é a texturização de superfícies por laser. Neste trabalho, foi abordada a interação de pulsos laser com largura temporal na ordem de femtossegundos com o aço DIN 16MnCr5, utilizado na indústria automotiva. Objetivou-se buscar os melhores parâmetros de processo para obter micro cavidades com pouca ou nenhuma zona afetada pelo calor e sem a presença de rebarbas e material ressolidificado, normalmente presentes na texturização com laser de pulsos longos (nanossegundos). Para a realização do estudo foi utilizada a técnica de escaneamento diagonal, D-Scan, para determinação dos limiares de ablação em função da sobreposição de pulsos. Também foram realizados estudos de formação das cavidades com a variação da posição do ponto focal e do perfil espacial do feixe laser. São apresentados resultados de análises obtidas por microscopia óptica e de varredura e interferometria de luz branca, além de resultados dos ensaios tribológicos que mostraram redução de mais de 10% da força e coeficiente de atrito.
