2. Investigation of the effective transmittance of Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the multi-longitudinal-mode high-spectral-resolution lidarFei Gao, Fengjia Gao, Xiao Yang, Gaipan Li, Li Wang, Meng Wang, Dengxin Hua, Griša Močnik, Samo Stanič, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Effective transmittance is an important parameter of Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the retrieval of aerosol optical properties using the multi-longitudinal-mode high-spectral-resolution lidar, which is a function of the complex degree of coherence. In this paper, we retrieve the parameter of the complex degree of coherence for the multi-longitudinal-mode laser from the theoretical analysis, optical simulation and experimental measurements, which are 0.726, 0.678 and 0.453 using the Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the optimal optical path difference of two times of laser optical cavity length (∼1000 mm) and under the light illumination of the high power Nd:YAG laser with the mode number of 101 and mode interval of 300 MHz under the condition of laser linewidth of 1 cm−1 (30 GHz). The preliminary measurement results of aerosol optical properties using the constructing multi-longitudinal-mode high-spectral-resolution lidar show that the difference of the complex degree of coherence retrieved from the presented methods results in the relative error of 40% in the aerosol backscattering coefficient with thin cloud layer and 90% with the presence of dense aerosol layer.

5. Evolution of fractal dimension in pulsed laser deposited MoO3 film with ablation time and annealing temperatureSwapna Mohanachandran Nair Sindhu, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The multifractal analysis is a potential method for assessing thin flm surface morphology and its changes due to diferent
deposition conditions and post-deposition treatments. In this work, the multifractal analysis is carried out to understand the
surface morphology—root mean square (RMS) surface roughness—of nanostructured MoO3 flms prepared by pulsed laser
deposition technique by varying the ablation time and post-deposition annealing. The XRD analysis shows the evolution of
crystalline nature with annealing temperature. The XRD pattern of all the annealed flms shows the characteristic peak of
the orthorhombic MoO3 phase. The FESEM and AFM analysis reveals the morphological modifcation with ablation time
and annealing temperature. The multifractal analysis of the AFM images shows that the box—counting, information and
correlation dimension varies with the annealing temperature. The study also reveals the inverse relation between the fractal
dimension and the RMS surface roughness due to the annealing induced particle size variation and reorientation. The fractal
dimension’s evolution in the pulsed laser deposited MoO3 flm with ablation time and annealing temperature is also investigated. Thus, the study reveals the potential of multifractal analysis in the thin flm surface characterizatio Keywords: Multifractal analysis · Pulsed laser deposition · Molybdenum oxide · Atomic force microscopy · Fractal

6. Study of Drug Diffusion rate by beam deflection techniqueSwapna Mohanachandran Nair Sindhu, 2017, original scientific article Abstract: Drug administration is an unavoidable part of treatment. When a drug is administered orally or intravenously, it gets absorbed into the blood stream. The rate and efficiency of absorption depend on the route of
administration. When a drug is administered through the oral route, it penetrates the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa. The diffusion of the drug into the blood stream depends on various parameters, such as concentration, temperature, and the nature of the mucous membrane. The passive diffusion of drugs is found to obey
Fick’s law. Water soluble drugs penetrate the cell membrane through aqueous channel or pores. Hence, the
study of diffusion of drugs into the water and finally into the blood stream is important. An attempt has been made
to study the diffusion of the drug in water as 60% to 80% of human body is water. For the study of drug diffusion in
water, a commonly used cough syrup of specific gravity 1.263 is used. It is found that the diffusion rate increases
with the concentration of the drug. Keywords: laser beam deflection, diffusion coefficient, Fick’s law, sodium chloride, syrup Published in RUNG: 30.06.2022; Views: 696; Downloads: 0 This document has many files! More... |

10. Laser ablation-single-particle-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry as a multimodality bioimaging tool in nano-based omicsDino Metarapi, Johannes Teun van Elteren, Martin Šala, Katarina Vogel-Mikuš, Iztok Arčon, Vid Simon Šelih, Mitja Kolar, Samo B. Hočevar, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Advanced data processing and visualization techniques were applied to laser ablation-single particleinductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-sp-ICPMS) data obtained from imaging of roots of
sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) which were exposed to ionic silver (Ag+). Highly multiplexed images with
tissue level resolution were generated, showing the uptake and transformation of Ag+ to silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) in whole root cross-sections, and revealing that the size of biosynthesized AgNPs is
predisposed by the reducing power of particular root compartments. Various Ag+ and AgNP visualization
strategies are shown with special emphasis on spatially resolved information associated with the number
and spherical-equivalent size of individual AgNPs in user-selected root cross-sectional regions, including
statistical analysis of the AgNP distribution. Normally, this multimodality information can only be obtained
by combining the results of techniques from several complementary platforms. Keywords: Laser ablation, Ag XANES, bioimaging Published in RUNG: 03.06.2021; Views: 1573; Downloads: 49
