Highly Nd^3+-doped Y_3Al_5O_12 crystal fiber tip for laser thermotherapy

Abstract: Based on phonon relaxation, a 12-at. % neodymium-doped YAG (Y3AlrO12) crystal fiber tip has been developed for photothermal conversion. The near-cylindrical tip, with an average diameter of 0.68 mm and a length of 1.8 mm, is fabricated on a 0.65-mm-thick 220-mm-long pure YAG single-crystal fiber by laser-heated growth. Pumped by an 810-nm wavelength diode laser with a pump power of less than 2 W, the temperatures of the tip reach 725 degrees C in air, 78 degrees C in egg white, and 79 degrees C in porcine live… Show more

“…Nd 3+ -doped Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ). [28][29][30] In fact the 1064 nm is used for achieving 532 nm via second harmonic generation. Furthermore, this emission due to the transition from 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 11/2 energy levels falls well in the second "human optical window" (1000-1350 nm).…”

“…O tratamento utilizando laser pode ocasionar danos no tecido sadio que circunda a área tratada devido à conversão não eficiente da energia do laser em energia térmica (Niemz, M.H., 1996;Lee et al, 1985). Na tentativa de contornar este problema, Tong et al (2002a) desenvolveram um cristal de YAG (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) dopado com íon Neodínio (Nd 3+ ) para ser utilizado como conversor da energia do laser em calor. Fibras ópticas são geralmente utilizadas para direcionar a energia do laser ao local de aplicação e conversores de energia são fixados na ponta das fibras.…”

“…A concentração dos íons na fibra pode variar de 5 átomos% (at%) até 15at%. (Tong et al, 2002a) A busca pela otimização da utilização de micro e nanopartículas no tratamento fotodinâmico do câncer tem crescido, conforme observado na literatura. Li et al (2009) demonstraram a eficiência da terapia fototérmica em associação com nanopartículas de ouro conjugadas com Polietileno glicol (PEG) e PEG-transferrina no tratamento de células tumorais.…”
