Abstract The interaction of very intense and ultrashort laser pulses with solid targets is a topic that has attracted a large amount of interest in science and applications. This interest is boosted by the large progress made in the development of high repetition rate, high-power laser systems. With the significant increase in average power, there is concern about how to deal with ablated debris that may lead to contamination and damage during interaction experiments with solid targets. This issue is also highly relevant in experiments that include plasma mirrors. These are often employed to increase the contrast ratio of the intense laser pulse to unwanted laser pre-pulses from the amplifier chain and/or the background of amplified spontaneous emission. For this reason, the present work investigates the mass ejected from the target into vacuum for different conditions, particularly those present when plasma mirrors are introduced. The total amount of ablated mass can be reduced by making use of a temporally controlled plasma expansion that enhances the plasma mirror reflectivity. In this way, high intensity laser interaction experiments can be carried out with efficient and clean plasma mirrors significantly reducing the degradation of the laser optics and plasma diagnostics placed near the interaction.

Introduction. The effect of laser irradiation on the body can lead to local tissue damage, which will be accompanied by changes in biochemical processes that occur in the kidneys. The direction of these changes is completely unclear, so the study of free radical oxidation of lipids and proteins as the main markers of oxidative stress in the body and their correction by ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) remains relevant. Aim.  To evaluate the intensity of lipid peroxidation and oxidative modification of proteins in the postnuclear fraction of rat kidneys under the action of laser irradiation and additional administration of ω-3 PUFA. Methods. The studies used white outbred rats, which were irradiated daily for 4 minutes with a laser diode with a wavelength of 650 nm, power of 50 mW in the abdominal cavity at a distance of 10 cm from the skin surface. The state of lipid peroxidation (LPO) was determined by the level of primary, secondary and final products. The intensity of oxidative modification of proteins (OMP) was evaluated by the level of carbonyl derivatives and protein SH-groups. To correct the prooxidant state, the animals were additionally injected with ω-3 PUFA. Results. Low-intensity laser irradiation has a destructive effect on the cell membranes of the kidneys, which is expressed by an increase in primary, secondary and final products of LPO in phospholipid extracts and an increase in the intensity of OMP. The introduction of ω-3 PUFAs reduces free radical processes in the kidneys of irradiated rats, but this effect depends on the scheme of their introduction. ω-3 PUFAs do not show antioxidant effect under the conditions of their introduction after laser irradiation. Daily administration of ω-3 PUFA two hours before irradiation shows a slight antioxidant effect only in the initial stages of irradiation. Preliminary seven-day administration of ω-3 PUFA before laser irradiation is the most effective, as it helps to reduce free radical processes. Conclusion. It is established that ω-3 PUFAs are able to have a corrective effect on the action of low-intensity laser irradiation, which depends on the scheme of their introduction. The highest antioxidant effect is observed in groups of animals to which ω-3 PUFA was previously administered before the action of laser irradiation.

Abstract In this article, we consider an extremely intense laser, enclosed by an atom interferometer. The gravitational potential generated from the high-intensity laser is solved from the Einstein field equation under the Newtonian limit. We compute the strength of the gravitational force and study the feasibility of measuring the force by the atom interferometer. The intense laser field from the laser pulse can induce a phase change in the interferometer with Bose-Einstein condensates. We push up the sensitivity limit of the interferometer with Bose-Einstein condensates by spin-squeezing effect and determine the sensitivity gap for measuring the gravitational effect from intense laser by atom interferometer.

Introduction. The need to close liquor fistulas as early as possible is associated with a high risk of intracranial complications. Certain difficulties in closing bone defects are due to the variability of the exact localization of the fistulous canal, the choice of the surgical approach, and the reliability of the plastic material. The literature describes various methods for eliminating basal liquorrhea, however, the advantage of none of them has not been proven, which determines the relevance of the search for new methods.Objective. Based on the analysis of long-term results, to study the efficiency of plastic closure of cerebrospinal fluid fistulas using high-intensity laser radiation.Materials and methods. An analysis of 15 years of experience in studying the effectiveness of plastic closure of cerebrospinal fluid fistulas in 126 operated patients with basal liquorrhea was carried out. The duration of the disease ranged from 2 months to 1.5 years. The main group consisted of 94 patients who underwent plastic closure of CSF fistulas using high-intensity laser radiation with a wavelength of 0.97 pm and a power of 2.5-3.5 W. The control group consisted of 32 patients who did not receive coherent laser radiation. In addition to the generally accepted methods of postoperative management, low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation irrigation of the operated cavities was used to accelerate the reparative processes in all patients.Results and discussion. The average follow-up period after surgery was over 13 years. When comparing the results of treatment, the main criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the operation was the frequency of relapses. In 15 (12.3%) cases, a relapse was noted, of which 5 (3.71%) were patients in the main group and in 10 (8.32%) patients in the control group, who were closed by repeated surgeryConclusion. The clinical features of the basal liquorrhea include the variability in the localization of the fistulous canals, certain difficulties in their detection, a wide variety of plastic closure methods, and a high percentage of relapses. A prospective uncontrolled study has shown that this method of CSF fistula plasty using improves the efficiency of surgical treatment.

Abstract Background Photobiomodulation with low-intensity laser (LIL) and chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) can repair damaged muscle tissue, so the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of co-administration of these two factors on anal sphincter repair in rabbits. Methods Male rabbits were studied in 5 groups (n = 7): Control (intact), sphincterotomy, laser, ChABC and laser + ChABC. 90 days after intervention were evaluated resting and maximum squeeze pressures, number of motor units, collagen amount, markers of muscle regeneration and angiogenesis. Results Resting pressure in the Laser + ChABC group was higher than the sphincterotomy, laser and ChABC groups (p < 0.0001). Maximum squeeze pressure in the all study groups was higher than sphincterotomy group (p < 0.0001). In the laser + ChABC and ChABC groups, motor unit numbers were more than the sphincterotomy group (p < 0.0001). Collagen content was significantly decreased in the laser (p < 0.0001) and laser + ChABC groups. ACTA1 (p = 0.001) and MHC (p < 0.0001) gene expression in the Laser + ChABC group were more than the laser or ChABC alone. VEGFA (p = 0.009) and Ki67 mRNA expression (p = 0.01) in the Laser + ChABC group were more than the laser group, But vimentin mRNA expression (p < 0.0001) was less than the laser group. Conclusion Co-administration of ChABCs and photobiomodulation with LIL appears to improve the tissue structure and function of the anal sphincter in rabbits more than when used alone.

The constant increase in the power of laser systems and the growth of potential fields for the application of lasers make the problem of protecting sensitive elements of electro-optical systems and visual organs from high-intensity radiation an urgent issue. Modern systems are capable of generating laser radiation in a wide range of wavelengths, durations, and pulse repetition rates. High-quality protection requires the use of a universal limiter capable of attenuating laser radiation, not causing colour distortion, and having a high transmission value when exposed to low-power radiation. For this, dispersed media based on carbon nanotubes with unique physicochemical properties can be used. Such media have constant valuesof their absorption coefficient and refractive index when exposed to low-intensity laser radiation and change their properties only when the threshold value is reached.The aim of this work was the study of the nonlinear optical properties of an aqueous dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes exposed to nano- and femtosecond radiation. For the characterization of the studied medium, Z-scan and fixed sample location experiments were used. The optical parameters were calculated using a threshold model based on the radiation transfer equation.As a result of the experiments, it was shown that the aqueous dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes is capable of limiting radiation with wavelengths from the visible and near-IR ranges: nano- (532, 1064 nm) and femtosecond (810 nm). A description of nonlinear optical effects was proposed for when a medium is exposed to radiation with a nanosecond duration due to reverse saturable absorption and two-photon absorption. When the sample exposed for a femtosecond duration the main limiting effect is spatial self-phase modulation. The calculated optical parameters can be used to describe the behaviour of dispersions of carbon nanotubes when exposed to radiation with different intensities. The demonstrated effects allow us to conclude that it is promising to use the investigated media as limiters of high-intensity laser radiationin optical systems to protect light-sensitive elements.
