▼ The experimental and theoretical bases of transient electric birefringence (TEB) and its application in a variety of nanomaterials, including Na-montmorillonite, cellulose nanocrystals (CNXL), and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) will be presented. TEB is a phenomenon attributed to the alignment of particles in response to an applied electric field and has been used for the determination of particle sizes, optical anisotropies, polarizability anisotropies ∆α, and permanent dipole moments μ. In this thesis, I will present the relations between the physical parameters just mentioned and the experimental measurements of the rise, saturation, and decay of particle alignment. Detailed experimental setup and data analysis procedures will also be discussed. In the case of Na-montmorillonite, our findings imply a wide size and shape distribution and that the shape of the material is best modeled somewhere between a rod and a disk. The alignment mechanism was dominated by an induced-dipole, with some of the data suggesting the presence of a small permanent dipole; however, the later findings were inconclusive. CNXL, on the other hand, is shown to be polydisperse only in size and is modeled well as a rigid rod. At intermediate field strength, the alignment response was governed by both an induced (~95%) and permanent moment (~5%). CNXL was also shown to produce very large birefringence, owing to its equally large optical anisotropy. CdSe QDs are nearly monodisperse in both size and shape, and are an ideal representation of a rigid rod. Their alignment mechanism contained a large permanent dipole contribution (~88%), which is attributed to their wurtzite crystalline structure. In the last chapter, preliminary results on nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and QDs are presented. Results for the nanoparticles in polylaurylmethacrylate are promising. TEM images of both composites showed a net alignment of particles in the field direction. However, aggregation of the CNTs in the polymer was a problem and further work is needed to keep them adequately exfoliated during the curing process. Aggregation of the QDs was not observed.

▼ Abstract: Among the auxiliary chemical substances used in Endodontics during chemical-mechanical preparation, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and EDTA have been the most widely recommended. However, irrigant solutions used in endodontic therapy might yield changes in the chemical and physical properties of dentin. Besides, these reagents compromised the bond strengths of some adhesives on root dentin. The aim of the first study was to evaluate the effect of 10% acid ascorbic or 10% sodium ascorbate on organic matrix collagen of bovine dentin root canal walls after irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 17% EDTA or 0.9% sodium chloride. Eighty bovine incisors were randomly divided into eight groups (n=10) according to: G1(Control): 0.9% Sodium Chloride; G2: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA; G3: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 10% ascorbic acid; G4: 5,25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 10% sodium ascorbate; G5: 5.25% NaOCl; G6: 17% EDTA; G7: 10% ascorbic acid; G8: 10% sodium ascorbate. Teeth were chemomechanically prepared and submitted to histological processing to be analyzed under polarized light microscopy. Absorbance assay was also performed to confirm the loss of collagen. It is possible to conclude that groups treated with 5.25% NaOCl (G2 and G5) presented a significantly different birefringence pattern compared with the control group (p<0.05).The birefringence values reduced could be reversed by the application of either 10% ascorbic acid or 10% sodium ascorbate after 5.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA irrigation. The absorbance assay of G2 and G5 confirmed the loss of collagen (p<0.05). The second study aimed to evaluate the effect of 10% ascorbic acid or 10% sodium ascorbate application after 5.25% NaOCl, 17% EDTA or 0.9% sodium chloride irrigation in the Knoop microhardness and flexural strength on root dentin. Eighty bovine incisors were randomly divided into eight groups (n=10): G1 (Control): 0.9% Sodium Chloride; G2: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA; G3: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 10% ascorbic acid; G4: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 10% sodium ascorbate; G5: 5.25% NaOCl; G6: 17% EDTA; G7: 10% ascorbic acid; G8: 10% sodium ascorbate. Teeth were chemomechanically prepared and submitted to Knoop microhardness. Standardized plano-parallel dentin bars were prepared and randomly divided into the same eight groups (n=15) cited above. The dentin bars were then loaded to failure in a three-point bend test. Root canal irrigation with 5.25% NaOCl reduced the microhardness of dentin in all distances tested. The microhardness values increased in all distances when sodium ascorbate was used after 5.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA irrigation. By exposing the dentin bars to 5.25% NaOCl, whether it was associated or not to 17% EDTA, the flexural strength decreased. However, values increased when 10% ascorbic acid or 10% sodium ascorbate were used after 5.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA irrigation Advisors/Committee Members: UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS (CRUESP), Záia, Alexandre Augusto, 1968- (advisor), Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

▼ Space-variant polarization states and elements have received significant interest in recent years for their interesting physical properties and widespread applications. This thesis is primarily focused on the optimization of spatially-varying polarization distributions and birefringent media for three applications: semiconductor metrology, star test polarimetry, and optical bottle field generation. These analyses are supported by additional chapters discussing a geometrical representation for spatially-varying birefringence on the Poincaré sphere and an overview of maximum likelihood estimation in the context of an optical measurement. The first application is a focused beam scatterometry experiment for simultaneous retrieval of multiple parameters of a subwavelength structure. As a variation of traditional Fourier scatterometry, a tailored spatially-varying polarization distribution is used to achieve heightened sensitivity to variations in each parameter. This measurement technique has practical uses in the semiconductor industry, where there is a high demand for fast and accurate measurements of silicon transistor components. As an example, initial two-parameter measurements of a silicon lamellar grating are presented, leading to parameter estimates with sub-nanometer precision, on par with current industry needs. Additionally, simulations are performed to predict the improvement in accuracy in future experiments with refined polarization control. The second application is star test polarimetry, in which an element with spatiallyvarying birefringence is used to encode polarization information into the point-spread function (PSF) of an imaging system. A variational calculation is performed to optimize the birefringence distribution to produce the smallest possible PSF, thus maximizing the resolution for imaging polarimetry measurements. The optimal solution is found to be nearly identical to the birefringence distribution of a stressengineered optic (SEO) with three stress points, which has been used in previous star test polarimetry experiments. The third and final application is a method for generating an optical bottle field containing a three-dimensional null in intensity at the focal point, which is useful for optical trapping and microscopy. The spatial variation of a birefringent mask, placed in the pupil plane of a high-NA focusing system, is optimized to produce a bottle field with the sharpest possible minimum in intensity. The optimal solution is shown to be closely approximated by an SEO.

Articular cartilage is a microstructurally and biochemically complex tissue with distinct zonal architecture. The primary interactions of articular cartilage with polarized light are depolarization, diattenuation, and retardance. Damage to this tissue leads to osteoarthritis (OA), the most common chronic disease affecting 30 million adults in the United States. There is currently no cure for OA. Thus, methods to detect early or pre-OA, focusing on detection of cartilage surface damage and microstructural alterations, are of great interest to clinical orthopedics. Collagen fibers in articular cartilage possess strong birefringence. Birefringence signals and other polarization sensitive optical parameters can probe both surface and subsurface feature of pre-OA cartilage. The goal of this dissertation was to develop polarized reflectance microscopy as an imaging technique to detect OA-related alterations to articular cartilage. Three separate but related studies were conducted to investigate the sensitivity of polarized reflectance parameters. The first study found that polarized reflectance signal is associated with microscale damage to the articular surface and sub-surface collagen structure, similar to alterations that occur in early OA. The second study analyzed the origins of polarized reflectance image textural patterns and related them to underlying collagen network microstructure in the superficial zone. The third study separated polarized reflectance signal into major linear retardance and depolarization components by polar decomposition of experimentally-acquired Mueller matrix images, using a custom-built reflectance polarimeter. Together, these findings support the relevance of polarized reflectance signals from articular cartilage to orthopedic research and suggest clinical utility. Polarized reflectance imaging provides a noninvasive, label-free and fast way to assess superficial articular cartilage microstructure and may contribute to the development of novel optical biomarkers for prediction of early OA. Quantitative optical indices and image textural parameters derived from polarized reflectance imaging hold promise for clinical translation in arthroscopic modalities, or ex vivo tissue analysis.

▼ Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has been attracting considerable attention due its unique reversible phase transformation property which changes from an insulator (semiconductor) with monoclinic crystal symmetry to a metallic phase with a tetragonal rutile structure. The phase transition is accompanied by 3-5 orders of magnitude change in electrical conductivity. The phase transition can be driven by an external perturbation such as temperature, electric field or laser excitation. The metal-insulator phase transition is of particular interest to realize reconfigurable optical devices such as switches, filters, polarizers and spatial light modulators. High quality VO2 films have been obtained using different substrates and deposition techniques. Among the various substrates used, sapphire is one of the most common ones due to important attributes such as crystalline quality, mechanical stability, and optical transparency in a wide range of frequencies. The substrate orientation plays a fundamental role on the properties of the VO2 films which include: transition temperature, resistivity-change during the metal-insulator phase transition, thermal hysteresis loop width, and crystalline quality. Detailed investigations on the influence of the substrate type and orientation are critical to obtain high-quality VO2 films for future device applications. VO2 has been recently used for switching and modulation applications and for realization of reconfigurable metamaterial filters and polarizers at terahertz (THz) frequencies. In the insulator phase VO2 grown on sapphire substrate is almost transparent to THz radiation. In contrast, above the phase transition, VO2 behaves as a metal and therefore is almost opaque to THz radiation. This makes VO2 an ideal material for applications where high amplitude modulation is a critical requirement. In this work we performed detailed investigations on the THz transmission through VO2 films grown on a-plane sapphire substrates. The temperature-driven method was used to trigger the phase transition of the VO2 films. Measurements were carried out at different temperatures using THz time-domain spectroscopy technique. Complex refractive index and optical conductivity and birefringence were determined for the VO2 films at temperatures below, during and above the phase transition. Our results indicate that VO2 films grown on a-plane sapphire substrates can be used as an anti-reflecting coating material at THz frequencies. Advisors/Committee Members: Bernussi, Ayrton A.

▼ Polarization plays an important role in many optical systems and device. This includes devices designed to advantageously use polarization, like liquid crystal displays, and optical systems that measure polarization to obtain information not otherwise available, like instruments found in many modern telescopes. Polarization also needs to be considered in some systems where it is not a primary aspect of the design, like image formation in very high numerical aperture objective lenses. This manuscript discusses three optical engineering projects where accurate polarization analysis or testing was required. Chapter one discusses a case where the need for polarization engineering arises from extreme optical requirements. Exoplanet direct imaging requires extremely high contrast, so any possible phase errors need to be considered. This includes the effects of form birefringence, which had previously not been measured over a large diameter mirror. Chapter one presents the first measurements of form birefringence over a large diameter telescope mirror. Measurements of the 3.75-meter, spherical mirror, coated by vacuum deposition of aluminum, indicate low levels of retardance and diattenuation that vary over the face of the mirror. The retardance and diattenuation had maximum values of about 2x10-3 radians and 0.025% respectively. Initial modeling by Davis J., et al. shows that this level of form birefringence could be impactful in direct imaging systems. The chapter discusses the design of the metrology system used to perform the measurements. The polarization engineering in chapter 2 relates to a remote sensing instrument that detects polarization to provide information in addition to its spectral reflectance measuring capabilities. Chapter two covers the design and testing of the second-generation polarization state generator used for the calibration and testing of Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) air-based, multispectral polarimetric imager (AirMSPI). The chapter focuses on the requirements of a polarization standard. The first-generation instrument is analyzed carefully and the lessons learned are applied to improving the second. The updated version has been successfully used for AirMSPI calibration prior to multiple airborne science campaigns. The third chapter discusses the analysis and modification of a nominally non-polarizing optical sub-system that has polarization design requirements. This highlights important polarization issues that occur is systems containing a large number of surfaces. The issues with the systems polarization performance are identified. A method to improve the polarization performance that can be implemented without any additional calculations is demonstrated. The system is then modified to improve the polarization performance while maintaining other important optical properties. Finally, the manufacturability of the modified design is considered.

▼ Chitosan has been intensively studied since 1979 for its vast applications in food packaging due to the promising antimicrobial properties. A fundamental understanding on the processing characteristics is essential in order to achieve desired properties with regarding to the final products. However, the conventional off line techniques where the samples were characterized sporadically are difficult if not impossible to capture the transient evolution of the structures and properties development that take place in the film formation and processing of chitosan. In order to address this issue, a real time measurement system which is able to track the development of weight, thickness, surface temperature, both in-plane birefringence and out-of-plane birefringence during the drying of solution casting was developed and utilized in this study to systematically investigate the optical anisotropy development of chitosan film formation. Meanwhile, another real time measurement system where the birefringence, true stress and true strain can be continuously tracked for a film undergoing all kinds of processing procedures, such as heating, cooling, uniaxial stretching, holding, retracting and cycling was also adopted to study and reveal the mechano-optical properties development in the actual film processing. It has been seen that in the film formation of chitosan/acetic acid solution casting, both in plane and out of plane birefringence remain constant at zero initially indicating that the molecular chains stay random and isotropic in the solution. As the drying process proceeds, beyond a critical time point, the out-of-plane birefringence starts to increase and then levels off while the in-plane birefringence stays zero which illustrates that the molecular chains still remain isotropic in-plane whereas the chain axes rotate to lie parallel in the film plane preferentially. Increasing the concentration of chitosan leads to the decrease in ultimate out-of-plane birefringence due to the lower chain orientation level in the plane. Similarly, higher temperature results lower out-of-plane birefringence value due to higher relaxation.Moreover, the resulting chitosan films from chitosan/acetic acid solution casting dried at ambient environment always contain ~10wt. % solvent (calculated from the weight data above as well as thermogravimetric analysis) which plasticizes chitosan and validates its stretchability at relatively low temperature. Hence, the effects of both solvent content and temperature were studied in the stretching process. Generally, a three-regime of non-linear stress and strain-optical behavior can be seen: stress increase dramatically before yielding point, stress increase with a relatively mild rate after yielding point and a steep rise shows up in the strain hardening point. The increase of solvent content tends to change the deformation behavior from plastic-like to rubber-like behavior, and promotes the relaxation of polymer segments to reduce the final birefringence. Increasing stretching temperature and… Advisors/Committee Members: Cakmak, Miko (Advisor), Mark D., Soucek (Committee Chair).

Le laser Mégajoule, dédié à l’interaction laser-matière pour la physique des hautes énergies est composé de modules pré-amplificateurs (MPA) devant respecter une qualité de faisceau exigeante. Les MPA actuels utilisent des matériaux verre phosphate dopé au Néodyme pour un fonctionnement à 1053 nm. Leur cadence de tir est cependant limitée à 1 tir / 5 min à cause de leur faible conductivité thermique. Il serait intéressant d’augmenter cette cadence pour optimiser le temps alignement des optiques ou réaliser des diagnostics sur l’installation laser. Pour augmenter la cadence de tir des MPA, nous proposons de changer le matériau actuel par du Nd :Lu :CaF2 de conductivité thermique dix fois plus élevée en vue d’atteindre une cadence de répétition de 10 Hz. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous présentons une étude des effets thermomécaniques induits par un pompage diode inhomogène et transverse, de fluence 13 J/cm2. Nous présentons les mesures de biréfringence résolues spatialement avec un montage en polariseur-analyseur croisés. La distribution des contraintes thermomécaniques associées est reconstruite par un modèle de simulation avec le logiciel COMSOL®. Enfin, une étude de l’influence de l’orientation cristalline du Nd :Lu :CaF2 est développée afin d’expliquer la disparité de biréfringence induite mesurée entre les échantillon de Nd :Lu :CaF2.

Laser facility such as the Megajoule Laser dedicated to laser-matter interaction including inertial fusion need pre-amplifier modules (PAM) which must respect a high beam quality. The current PAM use Phosphate glass doped with Neodymium material to work at 1053 nm with a repetition rate of 1 shot / 5 min limited by a low thermal diffusion. However, it would be interesting to increase the shot rate for alignment or diagnostic purposes. Therefore, we propose to change this amplification material by crystal Nd :Lu :CaF2 with a thermal diffusion ten times higher in view of achieving a repetition rate of 10 Hz. In this PhD work, we report a characterization of the thermal induced effects under a diode inhomogeneous and transverse pump with an energy density of 13 J/cm2. We begin by studying the spatially resolved induced birefringence with a cross polarizer-analyzer setup. We reconstruct the stress pattern of our samples by simulating the global setup with COMSOL® software which includes the thermal and mechanic Multiphysics interaction. This model allows us first to compare with experimental results and then to entirely simulate the mechanical behavior of this new material. A detailed study of the influence of the crystal orientation on the induced birefringence is presented to explain the disparity observed on the different samples Nd :Lu :CaF2 measurements

As terapias térmicas vêm sendo utilizadas com muita freqüência em áreas da saúde, como ortopedia, dermatologia e oftalmologia entre outras. Em média a literatura revela que na prática de tratamentos com calor os tecidos são submetidos a temperaturas que não ultrapassam os 45 ºC (igual aproximadamente 8,5 acima da média da temperatura corpórea normal). Este trabalho procurou verificar de fato a possível influência das variações térmicas sobre o colágeno, quanto à possibilidade de desnaturação do mesmo. Utilizou-se 48 ratos (Rattus Novergicus Albinus) da raça Wistar machos, divididos em oito grupos: grupo I Controle (sem alteração térmica), grupo II (35 ºC), III (40 ºC), IV (42 ºC), V (45 ºC), VI (48 ºC), VII (50 ºC), VIII (55 ºC) (cujos membros inferiores foram submersos por 10 minutos em água aquecida com temperatura variável). Em seguida os animais do grupo controle e experimental foram sacrificados, retirando por dissecação e tenotomia os tendões calcâneos que conferidos às lâminas histológicas passaram por análise microscópica de medidas de birrefringência, análise histológica por microscopia de luz e análises por calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Os resultados mostram que existe uma diferença significativa, dos grupos I a IV, em relação aos grupos V a VII, obtidos pela média de valores de retardos ópticos (RO), após as análises de medidas de birrefringência, confirmados pela análise visual histológica e pela calorimetria exploratória diferencial, sugerindo que em temperaturas elevadas ocorre uma desnaturação da proteína colágeno.

Thermal therapies are being used in orthopedic, dermatology and ophthalmology, among other medical specialties. Literature reveals in the clinical practice of thermal therapies, 45 ºC is the temperature of choice (= 8.5 below human body temperature). The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in the tendon of calcaneous after a range of thermal exposure, and correlate these results with tissue denaturation. It was used 48 Wistar rats (Rattus Novergicus Albinus), male. They grouped as: I (Control) II (35 ºC), III (40 ºC), IV (42 ºC), V (45 ºC), VI(48 ºC), VII (50 ºC), VIII (55 ºC), and had their pad submerged during 10 minutes in hot water (varying from 35 to 55 ºC. Animals were sacrificed and tendon of calcaneous were analyzed by birefringence microscopy, histology (H & E and Trichromic of Masson) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results showed that there is a significant difference between groups I-IV and V-VIII. Groups I-IV not shows signals of denaturation by heat treatment. Heatings above 45 ºC resulted in thermal denaturation, decreasing o birefringence and changes in histological aspect.

▼ A new, high-speed, fiber-based Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography system with continuous source-polarization modulation is presented. For in vivo experimentation, the sample arm optics are integrated into a hand-held probe. The system’s parameters were verified through imaging standard optical elements. A unique feature of polarization-sensitive Mueller optical coherence tomography is that by measuring Jones or Mueller matrices, it can reveal the complete polarization properties of biological samples, even in the presence of diattenuation. Presented here for the first time are mapped local polarization properties of biological samples obtained by using polar decomposition in combination with least-squares fitting to differentiate measured integrated Jones matrices with respect to depth. In addition, a new concept of dual attenuation coefficients to characterize diattenuation per unit infinitesimal length in tissues is introduced. The algorithm was experimentally verified using measurements of a section of porcine tendon and the septum of a rat heart. The application of the system for burn imaging and healing monitoring was demonstrated on porcine skin because of its similarity to the human skin. The results showed a clear localization of the thermally damaged region. The local birefringence of the intravital porcine skin was mapped by using a differentiation algorithm. The burn areas in the OCT images agree well with the histology, thus demonstrating the system’s potential for burn-depth determination and post-injury healing monitoring. Another major application of the fiber-based Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography system with continuous source-polarization modulation covered here is in vivo imaging of early stages of skin cancer. The OCT images of SENCAR mice skin affected by the tumorigenesis show the structural changes in skin resulting from precancerous papilloma formations that are consistent with histology, which proves the system’s potential for early skin cancer detection.

▼ Cellulose is an interesting renewable material with many unique properties. A type of nanocellulose is cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). It has potential to be used as reinforcement in composites, to modify the rheology of complex systems in 3D printing and in fiber production, among other areas. They are relatively long and flexible particles with both crystalline and amorphous parts. This material can be used to make stronger materials by increasing the alignment of the fibrils. In all of these cases, it is crucial to understand the behavior of the material in flow, which is the focus of this thesis. The aim with this project is to study how the alignment in cellulose nanofibril suspensions is affected in different flow types (extensional, shear and two mixed flow types), how it changes with different flow rates (1 - 50 μL/s) and if it is affected by the concentration of the suspensions (0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 wt%). To achieve the different complex flow fields, a fluidic four-roll mill was used. The alignment of the nanofibers were then determined by a birefringence imager which measured the retardance, angle of the fast axis and the intensity. The results showed that the used setup with the fluidic four-roll mill and birefringence imager can successfully measure the alignment in CNF suspensions, and that the experiments can be performed continuously with any one wavelength. Dependence on the concentration of the suspensions, flow rate and flow type was found. The alignment increased in extensional flow with increasing concentration, but not in shear flow. The flow rate dependence showed that the alignment increased with the flow rate for the highest concentration (0.5 wt%), but did not have much effect on the lowest concentration (0.1 wt%). It was found that extensional flow achieved more alignment than shear flow in the two higher concentrations of suspensions, but that the flow type had less effect in the lowest concentration. An unexpected dependency on the age of the sample and the assembly of the device was also observed.

Os equinos atletas, especialmente os cavalos de corrida, são frequentemente acometidos por lesões do sistema locomotor. A tendinite é uma enfermidade frequente, sendo o flexor digital superficial (TFDS) o mais acometido. Muitos dos métodos de tratamento para lesões de tendão são utilizados, mas poucos proporcionam cura eficiente e duradoura. Este trabalho tem por finalidade investigar o efeito do ultrassom terapêutico (UST) no processo de cicatrização do TFDS em equinos. Para tanto foram utilizados 20 equinos da raça Puro Sangue Inglês, com idade variando entre dois e nove anos, machos e fêmeas, distribuídos em três grupos (G1, G2 e G3). O G1 foi formado por oito animais, sendo que os TFDS de seus membros torácicos não foram infiltrados com colagenase e nem expostos ao UST. O G2 e o G3 foram compostos por seis animais cada. A indução da lesão foi realizada no terço médio do TFDS com 1ml da solução de colagenase (2,5mg/ml), em todos os membros torácicos dos animais do G2 e do G3. A cicatrização dos tendões foi acompanhada pelos exames clínicos e ultrassonográficos. Aleatoriamente, apenas um membro torácico de cada cavalo do G2 e do G3 foi tratado com UST, modo pulsado (ciclo de trabalho 20%), frequência de 1 MHz e intensidade 0,5 W/cm2 (SATA spatial average temporal average), por 5 minutos. Foram colhidas amostras de tecido tendíneo lesado no 15° dia após o início do tratamento (T15) no G2 para determinar a expressão das proteínas IGF-1, TGF-β1 e PCNA por imunoistoquimica; no 60° dia após o início do tratamento (T60) no G3 para detectar e mensurar a variação da organização dos feixes de colágenos por análise da birrefringência. Não foram observadas diferenças clínicas entre os membros tratados e não tratados dos grupos G2 e G3. Por meio da avaliação ultrassonográfica observou-se que o tamanho e ecogenicidade do tendão, tamanho e ecogenicidade da lesão, alinhamento longitudinal das fibras dos membros tratados do G3 não diferiram de tendões normais (G1) (P>0,05). Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos para a expressão de PCNA. Entretanto, os membros tratados do G2 apresentaram maior expressão do TGF-β1, enquanto os membros não tratados apresentaram maior expressão para o IGF-1 (P<0,05). Os resultados da birrefringência mostraram diferença estatística significativa entre o G1 e os membros não tratados do G3 e, entre os membros tratados e não tratados do G3 (P<0,001). A análise dos resultados sugere que o tempo de tratamento com UST não foi suficiente no G2 para promover regeneração do tendão, mas alterou a expressão de IGF-1 e TGF-β1, indicando aceleração do processo cicatricial. Já a irradiação do UST no G3 promoveu reorganização, agregação das fibras de colágeno e regeneração do tendão. Conclui-se que, este protocolo de tratamento de UST é eficaz tanto para acelerar o processo de cicatrização do tendão, como para melhorar a organização de suas fibras de colágeno.

Este trabalho visa a caracterização estrutural, mecânica e óptica de elastômeros de uretâno/uréia (PU/PBDO), baseados em óxido de poli(propileno) e poli(butenodiol), puro, após inflação em tolueno e dopados com ferrofluido. As proporções em massa (%) de PU e PBDO utilizadas são 40/60, 50/50, 60/40 e 80/20. As análises estruturais foram feitas através das técnicas de microscopia óptica de luz polarizada, microscopia de força atômica e magnética, e microscopia confocal de varredura laser com as quais foi verificado que os filmes são isotrópicos e autofluorescentes. A amostra após inflação com tolueno não apresenta diferença em sua textura em relação a amostra pura. As amostras dopadas apresentam coloração marrom devido aos grãos magnéticos. Também verificamos que o processo de dopagem com inflação dos filmes em solução de tolueno e ferrofluido é eficiente, uma vez que o filme não apresenta grandes agregados de grãos magnéticos. Medidas do coeficiente de absorção óptica mostraram que o tempo de inflação das amostras em tolueno não altera de forma significativa esses filmes. Também verificamos que o tempo, de imersão do filme na solução de tolueno e ferrofluido, para que as amostras incorporem a maior quantidade de grãos magnéticos aumenta com a concentração de PU. O número de grãos magnéticos na matriz elastomérica não aumenta depois que a amostra atinge o nível de saturação. Experimentos mecânicos e ópticos mostram que o processo de preparação do elastômero (casting) introduz uma anisotropia estrutural nas amostras opticamente isotrópicas. Esse fato foi evidenciado pelas medidas do módulo de Young e orientação do eixo óptico das amostras sob estiramento. A dependência da diferença de fase e consequentemente da birrefringência óptica em amostras puras, após inflação com tolueno e dopadas com ferrofluido, com a deformação é linear. O coeficiente de deformação óptico também é linear com a concentração de ferrofluido. Para todos os tempos de inflação em tolueno e ferrofluido as amostras 50/50 e 60/40 foram as que apresentaram maior birrefringência induzida por estiramento.

This work aims the structural, mechanical and optical characterization of urethane/urea elastomers (PU/PBDO), based on polypropylene oxide and polybutadiene diol, pure, after swelling in toluene and doped with ferrofluid. The ratios in weight % of PU and PBDO used are 40/60, 50/50, 60/40 and 80/20. The structural analysis were made through of polarized light microscopy, atomic and magnetic force microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy techniques in such was verified that films are isotropics and autofluorescents. The sample after swelling with toluene does not present difference in its texture compared with pure sample. Doped samples present brown color due the magnetic grains. It was also verified that doping process by swelling of film in solution of ferrofluid with toluene is efficient because the film not shows large aggregates of magnetic grains. Measurements of optical absorption coefficient show that the swelling time of the…

No presente trabalho, os fenômenos físicos responsáveis pela geração de luz supercontínua são estudados teoricamente, utilizando a ferramenta numérica desenvolvida para dar suporte à teoria. Os efeitos de polarização relacionados à geração de luz supercontínua também são analisados e, neste contexto, a utilização de uma fibra de cristal fotônico com formato tipo-D e alta birrefringência é proposta para servir como meio óptico. As características do supercontínuo gerado nesta fibra são analisadas teoricamente, novamente com o apoio da ferramenta numérica. A análise conclui que a fibra proposta apresenta consideráveis vantagens em relação às fibras convencionais, principalmente por ser capaz de manter o estado de polarização da luz supercontínua estável.

Supercontinuum generation is an effect characterized by a strong spectral broadening induced by nonlinear effects in the optical medium. There is a wide range of applications for this effect, such as optical coherence tomography, spectroscopy and frequency metrology. In this work, the physical phenomena responsible for supercontinuum generation are theoretically studied relying on the developed numerical tool to support the theory. The polarization effects related to supercontinuum generation are also assessed and, in this context, a highly birefringent D-shaped photonic crystal fiber is proposed as a medium for supercontinuum generation. The characteristics of supercontinuum generation in the proposed fiber are theoretically analyzed. The analysis concludes that the proposed fiber shows considerable advantages over conventional fibers, mainly due to the capability to keep the state of polarization of the supercontinuum stable.

O ultra-som de baixa intensidade é um recurso que vem sendo explorado em vários tipos de tecidos, inclusive a pele, porém os estudos buscam resultados em pele em reparação. Este estudo tem a finalidade de avaliar a eficáia do ultra-som de baixa intensidade no colágeno da pele sadia de ratos, visando analisar o comportamento das fibras de colágeno da derme, por meio da birrefringência e da análise histológica. Foi utilizado um aparelho de ultra-som de 30 mW/\'CM POT.2(́SATA), modo pulsado, com frequência de 1,5 MHz, largura de pulso de 200 milisegundos. Os animais utilizados foram 15 ratos e divididos aleatoriamente em 3 grupos (5 animais cada): grupo Ultra-som (US), tratado com ultra-som; grupo Placebo (PL), submetido à irradiação simulada; e grupo Controle (C). A irradiação foi aplicada na pele do dorso dos animais durante 10 minutos, em 10 aplicações consecutivas com intervalo de 2 dias após a quinta aplicação. Amostras da pele dos animais foram submetidas à análise de birrefringência com microscopia de luz polarizada, através de medidas de retardo óptico (RO) e à análise histológica. As medidas de RO foram submetidas à análise estatística por meio do teste de variância Anova, com nível de significância de 5%, e ao teste de Tukey. O grupo US apresentou a menor média de RO (26,03), comparando com os grupos C (31,09) e PL (29,07) e as diferenças entre as médias foram significativas (p<0,01). Estes dados demonstram que a ação do ultra-som de baixa intensidade altera o comportamento das fibras de colágeno, causando uma desorganização das fibras uma vez que quanto maior o RO, maior a organização das fibras de colágeno. Analisando as medidas separadamente para cada camada da pele observa-se que a derme papilar e a derme reticular não apresentaram o mesmo comportamento. A ação do ultra-som mostrou-se mais acentuada na camada reticular, pois esta apresentou o menor valor de média de RO (22,51). Os dados do grupo PL demonstraram que há uma ação da irradiação simulada, porém não na mesma intensidade que a do grupo US. Nas áreas adjacentes à superfície da pele irradiada, não houve ação do ultra-som, pois as médias de RO não foram diferentes estatisticamente do grupo C. Na análise histológica pode observar as fibras de colágeno do grupo US com aspecto mais compacto em relação aos demais grupos, porém num nível moderado. Conclui-se que o ultra-som de baixa intensidade, nas condições deste estudo, altera a organização das fibras de colágeno na derme, de maneira mais acentuada na camada reticular, promovendo uma desorganização das fibras.

The low intensity ultrasound is a resource that is been explored over many different kinds of tissues, including skin. However, most studies attempt only to the skin healing process.

▼ Clinical guidelines dictate that frequent blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients is critical towards proper management of the disease. Although, several different types of glucose monitors are now commercially available, most of these devices are invasive, thereby adversely affecting patient compliance. To this end, optical polarimetric glucose sensing through the eye has been proposed as a potential noninvasive means to aid in the control of diabetes. Arguably, the most critical and limiting factor towards successful application of such a technique is the time varying corneal birefringence due to eye motion artifact. In the first part of this research, we describe a birefringent ocular model along with a geometric ray tracing scheme to serve as a tool towards better understanding of the cornea’s birefringence properties. The simulations show that index-unmatched coupling of light is spatially limited to a smaller range when compared to index-matched situation. Polarimetric measurements on rabbits’ eyes indicate relative agreement between the modeled and experimental values of corneal birefringence. In addition, the observed rotation in the plane of polarized light for multiple wavelengths demonstrates the potential for using a dual-wavelength polarimetric approach to overcome the noise due to time-varying corneal birefringence. These results will ultimately aid in the development of an appropriate eye coupling mechanism for in vivo polarimetric glucose measurements. The latter part of the dissertation focuses on design and development of a dual wavelength optical polarimeter. The described system utilizes real-time closed-loop feedback based on proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, which effectively reduced the time taken by the system to stabilize while minimizing the effect of motion artifact, which appears as common noise source for both the wavelengths. Glucose measurements performed in both in vitro and ex vivo conditions demonstrate the sensitivity of the current system. Finally, in vivo results in rabbits indicate that dual-wavelength polarimetry has the potential to noninvasively probe glucose through the anterior chamber of the eye.

▼ The field of quantum key distribution (QKD) has seen many advancements since its conception in 1984. Recently there have been developments towards establishing free space optical links between satellites and earth to enable global QKD networks. Polarization encoded photos are commonly utilized as qubits for these free space links, placing polarization distortion constrains on the optics used. Two polarization distortion studies were conducted in this thesis. The first is a simulation of stress induced birefringence in the Window Observational Research Facility window on board the International Space Station (ISS). Atmospherics pressure inside the ISS elicits stress on window leading to optical birefringence, which in turn can distort the polarization of photons as they pass through the window. The model studies the birefringent effects for incoming optical beams over different polarizations, diameters and incoming angles. As part of free space optical quantum links, it can be beneficial to utilize beam steering optics to manage the spatial positioning of various components in the system. Implementing beam steering optics can aid in achieving spatial and maneuverability requirements for ground stations and satellites as they track each other. However, these optics can have an adverse effect on incoming photon polarization states. Because of this, the effects of various different beam steering configurations were characterized experimentally, and compared to a corresponding simulated model. The studies presented in this thesis have revealed that common optics such as windows and mirrors can distort polarization based quantum signals. The polarization distortion of the studied optics have shown high dependencies on the angular orientation of the incoming optical beam. However, the distortions measured can be noticeably reduced by implementing compensation optics. As a result, their distortions are not detrimental to a quantum link that utilizes them. The studies presented in this thesis are critical to the design of polarization based quantum receivers as they shed light on potential sources of link distortions. This work is part of a large collection of developments bringing the implementation of global quantum key distribution networks closer to reality.
