In this paper, we present a synergic learning algorithm to address the task of indirect manipulation of an unknown deformable tissue. Tissue manipulation is a common yet challenging task in various surgical interventions, which makes it a…
In recent years, thermal display has been studied intensively in order to represent a more realistic tactile quality of the object. Since human feels the temperature of the air without touching other objects, it is necessary to present…
A pulsed regime of short-cavity, heavily erbium-doped fiber lasers is of high interest for its possible applications in telecommunications and sensorics. Here, we demonstrate these lasers in two configurations, distributed feedback laser…
The frequency stability of lasers is limited by thermal noise in state-of-the-art frequency references. Further improvement requires operation at cryogenic temperature. In this context, we investigate a fiber-based ring resonator. Our…
We present novel type of tunable magneto-optical metasurfaces performing Faraday rotation, the sign and value of which are not fixed after the structure fabrication but can be tuned in a wide range via heating of the metasurface. We…
Dexterous manipulation of objects through fine control of physical contacts is essential for many important tasks of daily living. A fundamental ability underlying fine contact control is compliant control, \textit{i.e.}, controlling the…
The ion heating mechanism in the context of laser interacting with plasma immersed in a strong magnetic field is studied. The magnetic field is chosen to be strong for laser electromagnetic field propagation inside the plasma to be governed…
We present an experimental apparatus to control and visualize the response of a liquid target to a laser-induced vaporization. We use a millimeter-sized drop as target and present two liquid-dye solutions that allow a variation of the…
Surgical automation has the capability to improve the consistency of patient outcomes and broaden access to advanced surgical care in underprivileged communities. Shared autonomy, where the robot automates routine subtasks while the surgeon…
Active optics has attracted considerable interest from researchers in synchrotron radiation facilities, because of its capacity for x-ray wavefront correction. Here, we report a novel and efficient technique for correcting or modulating a…
Laser cooling of molecules employing broadband optical pumping involves a timescale separation between laser excitation and spontaneous emission. Here, we optimize the optical pumping step using shaped laser pulses. We derive two…
We theoretically study the laser cooling of cavity optomechanics when the mechanical resonance frequency and damping depend on time. In the regime of weak optomechanical coupling we extend the theory of laser cooling using an adiabatic…
The appeal of lasers can be attributed to both their ubiquitous applications and their role as model systems for elucidating nonequilibrium and cooperative phenomena. Introducing novel concepts in lasers thus has a potential for both…
The optimal control of two-level systems by time-dependent laser fields is studied using a variational theory. We obtain, for the first time, general analytical expressions for the optimal pulse shapes leading to global maximization or…
The laser flash method is highly regarded due to its applicability to a wide temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures to the melting point of refractory metals, and to extreme environments involving radioactive or hazardous materials.…
We present preliminary experimental data that enable us to suggest that heat transfer in cellular tissue under local strong heating is a more complex phenomenon than a simple heat diffusion. Namely, we demonstrate that under local strong…
Laser systems emitting radiation in the visible and near infrared region are potentially hazardous for the retina of the human eye. This can result in irreparable injuries due to photomechanical, photothermal or photochemical light-tissue…
We address the problem of heat conduction in 1-D nonlinear chains; we show that, acting on the parameter which controls the strength of the on site potential inside a segment of the chain, we induce a transition from conducting to…
In most systems, thermal diffusion is intrinsically slow with respect to mechanical relaxation. We devise here a generic approach to accelerate the relaxation of the temperature field of a 1D object, in order to beat the mechanical time…
The study of the interaction between laser and brain tissue has important theoretical and practical significance for brain imaging. A two-dimensional simulation model that studies the propagation of light and heat transfer in brain tissue…
