Lasers have been widely used for tattoo removal, but the limited light penetration depth caused by high skin scattering property restricts the therapeutic outcome of deep tattoo. Skin optical clearing method, by introducing optical clearing agent (OCA) into skin, has shown some improvement in the effect of laser tattoo removal. In this study, the enhanced laser tattoo removal has been quantitatively assessed. OCA was applied to the skin of tattoo animal model and Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) irradiation was used to remove the tattoo. The skin evaluation instrument (Mexameter probe, MPA580) was applied to measure the content of tattoo pigment before and after laser treatment, and then the clearance rate of pigment was calculated. Further, Monte Carlo (MC) method was utilized to simulate the effect of skin optical clearing on light transmission in tattoo skin model. By comparing the pigment change of tattoo areas respectively treated with OCA plus laser and single laser, it was found that pigment clearance of the former tattoo area was increased by 1.5-fold. Further, the MC simulation verified that the reduced light scattering in skin could increase the effective dose of luminous flux reaching to the deep tattoo regions. It can be concluded from both experiment and theoretical simulations that skin optical clearing technique could improve the outcome of laser tattoo removal, which should be beneficial for clinical laser tattoo removal and other laser pigment elimination.

提出了一种新型非反转归零(RZ)码的可重构全光逻辑门方案。该方案基于单个半导体光放大器(SOA)和可调谐光带通滤波器(TOBPF)。利用SOA的四波混频效应和交叉增益调别(XGM)效应,实现了RZ码信号的多种功能逻辑运算。在不改变实验装置的情况下,通过调节带通滤波器中心波长和信号光功率,可以在不同逻辑功能之间进行切换。实验实现了10 Gb/s全光信号间的“与”,“非”,“或非”,“同或”,“·B”,“A·B”等基本逻辑运算。与用连续光作为探测光不同的是,本方案采用了时钟信号作为探测光,这样各个逻辑门的输出
