Currently, vocal cord lesion diagnosis of laryngoscopic images mainly relies on physicians' expertise and clinical experience. This greatly increases the work pressure of physicians and has limited efficiency. To solve the above problems, this study aims to construct a deep network structure named VCLR-Net based on the improved YOLOv7 to achieve the detection and recognition of vocal cord lesions. First, Convolutional Block Attention Modules (CBAM) are added to the HEAD network to improve the focus of color and spatial features on lesions. Next, the Alpha Intersection over Union loss (AlphaIOU) loss function is used to improve the robustness of the lesion recognition model. In the experimental results, the proposed VCLR-Net network achieves mAP and F1 of 0.762 and 0.748 in the image dataset. The network enables accurate lesion recognition for a large number of laryngoscopic images.
The 1319 nm laser is widely used in sodium beacon, optical communication and laser medical fields, and also a potential pump source for 4.3 μm output. In this work, we reported a laser diode partially end-pumped Nd:YAG slab laser operation at 1319 nm. A stable plano-concave cavity was adopted. The maximum continuous output power of 24.33 W was obtained for the absorbed pump power of 222 W, exhibiting an optical conversion efficiency of 10.96% and a slope efficiency of 23.06%. The beam quality was measured to be M2 = 1.19 in the vertical direction.
We reported a compact, stable 12-picosecond Innoslab amplifier. A mode-locked seed laser with an initial power of 4.5W was amplified using a discrete beam path (DBP) configuration. The 1064nm Nd:YAG slab amplifier showed the high average output power of 165W at 1MHz of pulse repetition rate. The amplifier exhibited 16.6% of optical conversion efficiency. The long-term power stability of the laser system was calculated for one hour and the fluctuation was found to be 0.27%.
A high-average-power, laser-diode, end-pumped nanosecond multi-pass Innoslab Nd:YAG amplifier was demonstrated. With effective shaping of the electro-optically Q-switched Nd:YVO4 seed laser, a 45W seed laser at the pulse repetition frequency of 50 kHz was amplified to 212W with the pump power of 1145W, and the corresponding optical-to-optical efficiency was 14.6% and the slope efficiency was 17.8%.
In this paper, we reported what we believed to be potential improved performance for a Nd:YVO4 discrete path Innoslab amplifier configuration based on a plane-plane resonator system. A 95W, 30KHz laser output was obtained with the Innoslab amplifier. The corresponding optical to optical efficiency was 28.8%. The beam quality factors of M2 were 1.54 in the horizontal direction and 1.43 in the vertical direction, respectively.
An efficient second harmonic generation of diode end-pumped electro-optical q-switched Nd:YVO4 slab laser is demonstrated. A maximum output power of 15.6W at 532nm was obtained at a repetition rate of 40kHz, the corresponding conversion efficiency was 60% and the pulse width was 11.3ns. At a repetition rate of 10kHz, the pulse energy of 532nm was 1.2mJ and the pulse width was as short as 5ns. The beam quality was M2 < 1,3.
Using a slab shaped laser media can effectively reduce thermally induced strain and aberration. In this paper we report the experimental results obtained using an end pumped Nd:YVO4 slab laser with a hybrid resonator. With this design we measured 110W output with the beam quality of 1.3 and 1.5 in two orthonormal directions.
