The proposed experimental set up is based on external modulation. The HDMI signal is generated by a Raspberry Pi Model B in order to modulate an optical signal. The intensity modulation process is carried out by using a Mach-Zehnder Modulator. The resulting signal is transmitted over 30 km of optical fiber and with the direct detection principle the information is recovered and visualized on a TV screen.","PeriodicalId":423625,"journal":{"name":"2018 Photonics North (PN)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116116938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, an open challenge in the laser bioprinting field is the fabrication of living constructs of biologically relevant size (∼cm3) with micrometric resolution, i.e., multiscale printing. The paper proposes a novel laser-assisted method that enables multiscale printing of 3D constructs. The method is inspired by studies in the field of laser-assisted drug injection [2]. We will discuss the bio-printing principle, involving a sequence of mechanisms (Figure 1): i) nanosecond (ns) pulsed laser (τ= 6 ns, λ=532 nm) interaction with liquid, ii) cavitation, iii) bubble dynamics, iv) fluid structure interaction, and v) jet dynamics. We used a multiphysics simulation software (COMSOL) to numerically simulate the involved mechanisms. To calculate laser-induced bubble dynamics in a closed chamber, we solved the Rayleigh–Plesset differential equation coupled to a modified Tait equation of state, which accounts for the pressure increase in the chamber because of the laser-induced bubble expansion. We considered 20% conversion of the laser pulse energy to bubble energy, which is a value well documented in the literature [3]. We applied the calculated spatiotemporal dynamics of the bubble boundary as a moving wall to calculate fluid-membrane interaction and the resulting membrane velocity. The membrane velocity profile was then applied to a two-phase flow model to simulate the bio-ink ejection dynamics. We will present the dependence of the jet-dynamics on various key experimental conditions, including liquid rheological properties (dynamic viscosity: 0.89-26.85 mPa·s, density: 996.89-1190.4 kg/m3, laser energy: 5-500J). Finally, we will present an optimization study aiming to reproducible and controllable printing of bio-ink drops with the following characteristics: ejection velocity 5-50 m/s, volume 0.05-30 nL, at the kHz repetition rate regime. Our results demonstrate reliable high-resolution bio-printing for an extended bio-ink viscosity range, representing a model bio-ink that is currently impossible to print using a single conventional bio-printing technology.","PeriodicalId":423625,"journal":{"name":"2018 Photonics North (PN)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131315224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
