Using a cadaveric model, the investigation quantifies light attenuation and estimates the effective dosage reaching these clinically relevant vascular targets and surrounding neurovascular tissues.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>A detailed dissection was performed on a male cadaveric specimen at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. A 660 nm continuous-wave laser with an output power of 100 mW was used, resulting in a surface irradiance of 200 mW/cm<sup>2</sup> over a 0.5 cm<sup>2</sup> area. The active laser tip was positioned perpendicularly over the CCA and RA regions for a 60-second exposure to visualize and document light dispersion. The Beer-Lambert law was applied to calculate the percentage of initial light intensity reaching each artery, using an effective tissue attenuation coefficient (μ_eff) of 0.5 mm⁻<sup>1</sup>.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Visual analysis confirmed that laser irradiation extended beyond the target arteries, illuminating significant adjacent structures. At the neck, the vagus nerve, internal jugular vein, and sternocleidomastoid muscle were irradiated. At the wrist, the median nerve and pronator quadratus muscle were affected. Dosimetric calculations revealed a substantial difference in light penetration: approximately 28.65% of the surface light intensity reached the RA (at a depth of 2.5 mm), while only 0.0045% reached the CCA (at a depth of 20 mm). The estimated irradiance at the RA was 57.30 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>, a therapeutically relevant dose, whereas the irradiance at the CCA was negligible (0.0091 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>).</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This anatomical and dosimetric analysis demonstrates that the RA is a far more efficient and predictable site for transdermal laser therapy aiming for systemic vascular effects compared to the CCA, due to its superficial location. The study highlights that transdermal laser application is not target-specific, resulting in the concomitant irradiation of multiple neurovascular and muscular structures. This expanded regional photobiomodulation should be considered when interpreting clinical outcomes and designing therapeutic protocols. These findings provide a critical anatomical and physical basis for future research in systemic photobiomodulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian Laser Research","volume":"47 4","pages":"357 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10946-026-10307-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis reveals the emergence of two-mode quadrature squeezing and bipartite entanglement as primary signatures of quantum correlations in this process. A larger coherent input amplitude and stronger nonlinear coupling significantly enhance the depth of quadrature squeezing. At the same time, the relative phase plays a decisive role in controlling interference and suppressing quantum noise. The criteria for bipartite entanglement, as outlined by Duan et al., are derived and satisfied. Quantitative verification of entanglement is further carried out using the Hillery-Zubairy (HZ) criteria HZ‑1 and HZ‑2, with HZ‑1 demonstrating greater sensitivity under conditions of strong coherence. The explicit dependence of these criteria on amplitude and phase highlights the tunability of entanglement through experimentally controllable parameters. In essence, IFHG emerges as a viable mechanism for achieving robust two-mode squeezing and bipartite entanglement, offering valuable prospects for quantum communication, continuous-variable quantum information technologies, and integrated quantum photonic systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian Laser Research","volume":"47 4","pages":"366 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gaze-tracking thread processes video streams from the depth camera. A deep neural network is used to achieve real-time localization of the human eye’s 3D coordinates. Based on the real-time 3D eye coordinates, the inverse mapping thread establishes an inverse mapping model from the elemental image to the scene. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively eliminates the pixel holes in depth discontinuities common in traditional algorithms, thereby improving light field reproduction quality.

From the literature survey, four input frequencies—0.5 THz, 1.0 THz, 1.5 THz, and 2.0 THz—were taken and examined to distinguish between normal and tumour tissues based on field intensity distribution, refractive index variation, and spectral response. The refractive index difference (∆n) reached a maximum of 0.70 at 1.0 THz, indicating the strongest dielectric contrast. Electric Field Enhancement (EFE) was found to peak at 1.0 THz, corresponding to enhanced optical confinement and localized energy interaction within tumour samples. Sensitivity and Figure of Merit (FOM) analysis confirmed optimal performance at 1.0 THz, with the highest detection accuracy and contrast ratio of CR ≈ 5. Conversely, at 2.0 THz, the refractive index difference dropped to 0.11, and the contrast ratio decreased drastically, signifying poor differentiation capability.
