  • SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR TISSUE LAYER REMOVAL
    Publication number: 20220110681
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for penetrating a biological membrane. The system may comprise a laser unit configured to generate one or more laser beams. The system may comprise a set of targeting optics configured to direct the one or more laser beams to a target region of the biological membrane. The system may comprise a raster scanner operatively coupled to the laser unit and the set of targeting optics. The system may comprise a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions. The set of instructions may be configured to control at least one of the laser unit, the set of targeting optics, or the raster scanner to photodisrupt the target region of the biological membrane to a target depth while minimizing damage to one or more blood vessels in proximity to the target region.

  • Method For Tuning Work Function Using Surface Photo Voltage and Producing Ultra-Low-Work-Function Surfaces, and Devices Operational Therewith
    Publication number: 20220093357
    Abstract: The embodiments provide a thermionic emission device and a method for tuning a work function in a thermionic emission device is provided. The method includes illuminating an N type semiconductor material of a first member of a thermionic emission device, wherein a work function of the N type semiconductor material is lowered by the illuminating. The method includes collecting, on one of the first member or a second member of the thermionic emission device, electrons emitted from one of the first member or the second member.
