  • Publication number: 20230161221
    Abstract: A nonlinear crystal grating assembly including two integral nonlinear crystal grating structures having inverted crystal axes and having parallel spaced-apart mesas with predetermined mesa widths arranged such that, when assembled in an interdigitated configuration, the mesas of the two grating structures form an alternating grating pattern that is aligned with a propagation direction of input light, thereby creating a periodic structure for quasi-phase-matching (QPM). The nonlinear crystal grating structures are formed using strontium tetraborate, lithium triborate or another nonlinear crystal material. The nonlinear crystal grating assembly is utilized in a laser assembly in which fundamental wavelengths are doubled and/or summed using intermediate frequency conversion stages, and then a final frequency converting stage utilizes the nonlinear crystal grating assembly to double or sum one or more intermediate light beam frequencies to generate laser output light at high power and photon energy levels.

  • Publication number: 20230140977
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to processing digital pathology images. More specifically, depictions of objects of a first class (e.g., lymphocytes) and depictions of objects of a second class (e.g., tumor cells) are detected. Locations of each biological object depiction are identified, which are used to generate multiple spatial-distribution metrics that characterize where depictions of objects of a first class are located relative to objects of a second class. The spatial-distribution metrics are used to generate a result corresponding to a predicted biological state of or a potential treatment of a subject. For example, the result may predict whether and/or an extent to which lymphocytes have infiltrated a tumor, whether checkpoint blockade therapy would be an effective treatment for the subject, and/or whether a subject is eligible for a clinical trial.
