  • Publication number: 20230404668
    Abstract: A light processing apparatus includes a first non-linear crystal disk for transmitting a first beam of photons having a first frequency to a second beam of photons having the first frequency and a second frequency oscillating in polarization directions orthogonal to each other, the second frequency being a half of the first frequency. Further included is a waveplate for transmitting the second beam of photons to a third beam of photons by rotating polarization directions of the second beam of photons such that the photons of the first frequency and of the second frequency oscillate in the same polarization directions. A second non-linear crystal disk is configured to transmit the third beam of photons to a fourth beam of photons of the first frequency, the second frequency and a third frequency, the third frequency being approximate a third of the first frequency.

  • Publication number: 20230049673
    Abstract: An endoscope that includes an elongated bougie, a distal tip at a distal end of the bougie and a handle at a proximal end of the bougie. The distal tip has a camera, an LED light, and a distal tip housing forming a distal tip chamber. The endoscope also has an electronic connector, such as a PCB board connector, having at least one PCB board, and at least a portion of the PCB board is nestled within the distal tip chamber. The PCB board connector is disposed between the distal tip and the distal end of the elongated bougie when being assembled. The distal tip and the PCB board connector are attached into one integral distal assembly by removable attaching means, such as a pair of snap fit hood and holder. The integral distal end assembly is configured to be cut from the old bougie used in a medical procedure and to be collected and later disassembled, sterilized, and reassembled with another new bougie.
