Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser medical equipment technology, specifically to a skin treatment device based on dual-wavelength picosecond laser. Background Technology

[0002] Current laser skin treatment technology faces the following key problems:

[0003] 1. The contradiction between thermal damage and treatment efficiency: Conventional Q-switched lasers (nanosecond pulse width) are prone to causing cumulative thermal damage to the epidermis due to their long thermal relaxation time. While some picosecond laser devices have shorter pulse widths, they are still limited by high single-pulse energy, large pulse width, and long action time, resulting in low peak power; poor energy consistency between single pulses leads to greater trauma to the lesion area and poor clinical efficacy.

[0004] 2. Limited beam flexibility: Existing beam transmission systems mostly rely on fixed beam expansion ratios or mechanical apertures to adjust the beam size, which cannot continuously adjust the beam size in real time during treatment. Furthermore, energy loss and mode mismatch are easily introduced when combining two wavelengths.

[0005] 3. Insufficient dual-wavelength coordinated control: Traditional equipment often uses independent lasers to output different wavelengths in a time-division manner, which has problems such as poor timing synchronization and narrow energy ratio adjustment range (usually a fixed ratio), making it difficult to achieve synchronous and precise treatment of deep and superficial tissues.

[0006] In addition, existing technologies also have the following technical bottlenecks:

[0007] 1) Laser source limitations: Traditional medical picosecond lasers have poor stability and short lifespan.

[0008] 2) Energy regulation defects: Traditional medical picosecond lasers are mostly used in low repetition frequency (Hz level) lasers, which lack the ability to independently regulate the energy of dual wavelengths.

[0009] 3) Shortcomings in optical path design: In dual-wavelength scenarios, optical guide arms or fiber optic transmission schemes have problems such as mismatch between reflection and transmission spectra and low damage threshold, which restrict the clinical application of high-energy picosecond lasers. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of this, and in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device. This invention innovatively integrates SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser regeneration amplification and dynamic spot transmission technology, breaking through the aforementioned technical bottlenecks in the prior art and solving key technical problems.

[0011] The present invention provides a dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device, the treatment device including a main unit and a light guide system, the main unit including a picosecond laser and a control system, the light guide system including a light guide arm and a treatment handle, the treatment handle being disposed at the free end of the light guide arm and connected to the main unit through the light guide arm;

[0012] The picosecond laser is built into the host unit and includes a SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser, a regenerative amplifier, and a beam transmission module.

[0013] The SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser uses a single-tube semiconductor laser as the pump source and obtains stable output of mode-locked picosecond lasers B and C through a resonant cavity arranged in a double Z-shape.

[0014] The regenerative amplifier is a regenerative amplifier with doubled resonant cavity. The 1064nm fundamental frequency light E output by the mode-locked picosecond laser B through the regenerative amplifier is frequency doubled by the nonlinear crystal LBO, and simultaneously outputs dual wavelengths of 1064nm fundamental frequency light and 532nm frequency doubled light.

[0015] The beam transmission module includes a beam expander, a dichroic mirror group, and a 532 nm / 1064 nm dual-band beam combiner, enabling the dual-wavelength output beam spot diameter to be continuously adjustable from 0.01 to 5 mm.

The output laser generated by the dual-band beam combiner is transmitted through the light guide arm and then output through the center of the treatment handle.

[0017] A dynamic focusing scanning galvanometer containing X / Y axis scanning lenses is installed in the end joint of the light guide arm.

[0018] Furthermore, the SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser injects pump light with a power range of 1W-10W, and outputs two mode-locked beams, each with a power range of 0.1W-4W; one of the mode-locked beams is selected to be 70MHz-120MHz, with a single pulse energy of 10-500nJ, which enters the regenerative amplifier for amplification.

[0019] The output light frequency after being amplified by the regenerative amplifier is 50kHz-800kHz, and the single pulse energy is adjustable from 10-300 microjoules.

[0020] The incident light of the regenerative amplifier forms a 180° angle with the amplified output light.

[0021] Furthermore, the treatment handpiece outputs a treatment-use mode-locked picosecond laser ultrashort pulse, a single pulse.

[0022] The average pulse width is 1-15 ps, the energy difference between single pulses at the same transmission frequency is ≤±2%, the peak power of a single pulse is 0.4-240.0 megawatts, and the peak power difference between pulses is ≤±3%.

[0023] Furthermore, the dichroic mirror assembly includes:

[0024] The first dichroic mirror, when incident at 45°, has high reflectivity (R>99.8%) for 1064 nm and high transmittance (T>95%) for 532 nm.

[0025] The second dichroic mirror, when incident at 45°, has high reflectivity (R>99.5%) for 532 nm and high transmittance (T>95%) for 1064 nm.

[0027] Furthermore, the treatment handpiece has a built-in treatment control module that integrates a skin impedance detection sensor, a pulse energy closed-loop feedback unit, and a multi-wavelength collaborative triggering circuit, supporting dual-wavelength independent or alternating output modes.

[0028] Furthermore, the treatment control module also includes a pulse sequence generation unit and a lesion identification unit;

[0029] The pulse sequence generation unit supports 1064 nm single-wavelength mode, 532 nm single-wavelength mode and dual-wavelength alternating mode, with an adjustable alternation frequency of 1-100 Hz;

[0030] The lesion identification unit automatically matches wavelength selection strategies based on multispectral imaging data, wherein:

[0031] The 1064 nm pulse is preferentially activated in melanin-targeting tissues.

[0032] 532 nm pulses are preferentially activated for hemoglobin-targeting tissues;

[0033] The dual-wavelength alternation mode is used for the treatment of complex lesions.

[0034] Furthermore, the dynamic focusing scanning galvanometer includes a high-speed Galvo scanning head, an adaptive focusing lens group, and a spot shape control unit, wherein: the maximum scanning speed of the high-speed Galvo scanning head is ≥3m / s;

[0036] The spot shape control unit supports dynamic switching between circular, square, and linear spots.

[0037] Furthermore, the control system includes a pulse parameter optimization algorithm module, which calculates the photothermal damage threshold in real time based on Monte Carlo simulation, dynamically adjusts the combination of pulse energy and repetition frequency, and ensures that the thermal relaxation time (TRT) is controlled within the range of 0.1-10 ms.

[0038] Furthermore, each joint of the light guide arm has a built-in position encoder that provides real-time feedback of angular deviations to the control system.

[0039] The system uses an adaptive PID algorithm to compensate for optical path offset in the galvanometer.

[0040] Furthermore, a safety protection unit is provided on the outer surface of the treatment handle, including a contact cooling window, a real-time epidermal temperature monitoring probe, and an automatic pulse over-limit cutoff device. The contact cooling window adopts a modular quick-release design and is electrically connected to the handle body through spring pin contacts. The cooling window has a diameter of 20 mm and a pressure adjustment range of 0.5-2 N / cm². The temperature monitoring probe is arranged in a ring array around the cooling window, containing 8 miniature infrared sensors with a sampling rate of 1 kHz and a spatial resolution of 50 μm.

[0057] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further explains the present invention of a dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0058] Example 1: A dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device of the present invention

[0059] The present invention discloses a dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device, which consists of a main unit 1, a light guide system 2 and a foot switch 3. The main unit consists of a picosecond laser 4, a power supply 5, a control system 6 and a cooling system 7. The light guide system consists of a light guide arm 8 and a treatment handle 9. The treatment handle 9 is located at the free end of the light guide arm 8 and is connected to the main unit 1 through the light guide arm 8.

[0060] The picosecond laser 4 is built into the host and includes a SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser 10, a regenerative amplifier 11, and a beam transmission module.

[0061] The SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser 10 uses a single-tube semiconductor laser 101 as the pump source, and obtains stable output of mode-locked picosecond lasers B and C through a resonant cavity arranged in a double Z-shape.

[0062] The regenerative amplifier 11 is a regenerative amplifier with doubled resonant cavity, and the mode-locked picosecond laser B...

[0063] The 1064 nm fundamental frequency light E output by the regenerative amplifier 11 is frequency doubled by the nonlinear crystal LBO, and simultaneously outputs dual wavelengths of 1064 nm fundamental frequency light and 532 nm frequency doubled light.

[0064] The beam transmission module includes a beam expander, a dichroic mirror group, and a 532 nm / 1064 nm dual-band beam combiner, enabling the dual-wavelength output beam spot diameter to be continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 5 mm.

[0065] One end of the light guide arm 8 is connected to the output end of the dual-band beam combiner, and the other end is provided with a treatment handle 9. The output laser generated by the dual-band beam combiner is transmitted through the light guide arm 8 and then output through the center of the treatment handle 9.

[0066] A dynamic focusing scanning galvanometer containing X / Y axis scanning lenses is installed in the end joint of the light guide arm.

[0067] Example 2: Optical path structure of the SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser and regenerative amplifier of the present invention

[0068] The self-focusing lens 102 of the SESAM passive mode-locked seed laser 10 is placed between the single-tube semiconductor laser 101 and the laser crystal 103; a plano-concave mirror a104 is placed on the other side of the laser crystal 103, and the light path passes through the center of the laser crystal and enters the focal point of the plano-concave mirror a104 before incident; a plane mirror 106 is placed at the focal point of the light path after reflection by the plano-concave mirror a104, and the angle between the incident light and the reflected light of the plano-concave mirror a104 is in the range of 0 to 10°; the light path, after passing through the laser crystal, the plano-concave mirror a104, and the plane mirror 106, forms a positive Z-shaped structure; symmetrically, the output mirror 107, the plano-concave mirror b105, and the SESAM saturable absorber mirror 108 form an inverse Z-shaped structure. The structure is as follows: the plane mirror 106 and the output mirror 107 are arranged horizontally, the output mirror 107 is placed on the horizontal line reflected by the plane mirror 106 in the light path, the plane mirror 106 is located at the focal point before the incident light from the plane-concave mirror b105, and the SESAM saturable absorber mirror 108 is located at the focal point after the incident light from the plane-concave mirror b105. The angle between the incident light and the reflected light from the plane-concave mirror b105 is in the range of 0 to 10°. The refracted light from the plane-concave mirror b105 is horizontally incident on the surface of the SESAM saturable absorber mirror 108. The positive Z-shaped structure and the negative Z-shaped structure together constitute a double Z-shaped symmetrical arrangement structure of the resonant cavity.

[0069] A, B, and C are the output beams of the mode-locked seed laser resonator; D is the oscillating beam within the mode-locked seed laser resonator. The pump beam power injected into the mode-locked seed laser is 1W-10W, and the output beams B and C each have a power of 0.1W-4W. One of the mode-locked beams, B, is selected to be 70MHz-120MHz, with a single pulse energy of 10-500nJ, and is injected into the regenerative amplifier 12 for amplification.

[0070] The mode-locked seed light B is mode-matched with the injected regenerative amplifier 12 regenerative resonant cavity to obtain the required amplification.

[0071] The regenerative resonant amplification cavity includes a second polarizer 111, a first quarter-wave plate 112, a first 0° total reflection mirror 114, a pulse selection switch 113, a second 0° total reflection mirror 1111, a third polarizer 115, a second quarter-wave plate 116, a pinhole aperture 117, an LD pump laser crystal module 118, a third quarter-wave plate 119, and a convex mirror 1110;

[0072] The incident mode-locked seed light B is introduced into the regenerative resonant amplification cavity through an optical isolator (composed of a first polarizer 121, a Faraday rotator 122, and a half-wave plate 123) for resonant amplification. Its depolarization is compensated by the third quarter-wave plate 119, and the convex mirror 1110 compensates for the thermal lensing effect. The pinhole aperture 117 filters out higher-order modes of the amplified light, ensuring the beam quality of the incident seed amplified light. The third polarizer 115, the second quarter-wave plate 116, the convex mirror 1110, and the second 0° total reflection mirror 1111 achieve optical path lengthening of the incident seed light within the regenerative resonant amplification cavity. Controlled by the pulse selection switch 113, the amplified seed light is exported from the regenerative resonant amplification cavity. After total internal reflection by the 45° total reflection mirror 13, the regenerated amplified light E is output from the outlet.

[0073] The frequency of the regenerated amplified light E is 50kHz-80kHz, and the single pulse energy is adjustable from 10 to 300 microjoules; the mode-locked light B forms a 180° angle with the regenerated amplified light E.

[0074] The cavity length of the regenerative amplifier 11 with doubled resonant cavity is an integer multiple of the cavity length 10 corresponding to the spacing of the incident mode-locked picosecond laser seed pulses, where the multiple is the number of regenerated and amplified outputs of the selected mode-locked seed pulses after passing through the regenerative resonant amplifier cavity.

[0075] Example 3: LBO frequency multiplication structure of the present invention:

[0076] The LBO frequency doubling structure of this invention includes an LBO crystal and a temperature control device. The LBO crystal has dimensions of 4×4×15 mm³, a cutting angle of θ=32°, and φ=0°. It has Class I phase matching: 1064 nm→532 nm. The crystal is placed in an aluminum heat sink, and the temperature is controlled at 35±0.1℃ by TEC to ensure phase matching. The LBO frequency doubling conversion efficiency is: when the input 1064 nm optical power is 2 W, the output 532 nm power is 0.8 W (conversion efficiency 40%), and the total power of the two wavelengths is 2.8 W.

[0077] Example 4: Structure of the beam transmission module of the present invention:

[0078] It includes a beam expander system, a dichroic mirror group, and a 532 nm / 1064 nm dual-band beam combiner.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, a Galilean beam expander with a beam expansion ratio of 1:5 is used to pre-expand and collimate the mixed wavelength laser source. After the beam passes through the energy ratio adjustment module, it passes through the beam shaping and beam combining output module. The 532 nm / 1064 nm beams pass through variable magnification beam expanders to continuously adjust the output spot diameter, achieving a continuously adjustable output spot diameter of 0.1-5 mm.

[0080] The dichroic mirror assembly includes a first dichroic mirror (lens 1) mounted on a rotating stage 1 and a second dichroic mirror (lens 2) mounted on a rotating stage 2: The first dichroic mirror has high reflectivity (R>99.8%) for 1064 nm and high transmittance (T>95%) for 532 nm when incident at 45°; the second dichroic mirror has high reflectivity (R>99.5%) for 532 nm and high transmittance (T>95%) for 1064 nm when incident at 45°; the lenses are mounted on the rotating stage (angular resolution 0.01°), and the dynamic adjustment of the dual-wavelength energy ratio is achieved by changing the incident angle of the lenses through the rotation of the rotating stage.

[0081] The dynamic adjustment mechanism of the dual-wavelength energy ratio is as follows:

[0082] Variable 1 (P1064-path1): The 1064nm energy from path 1 that ultimately participates in beam combining (controlled by the reflectivity of the first dichroic mirror at 1064nm).

[0083] Variable 2 (P532-path2): The 532nm energy from path 2 that ultimately participates in the beam combining (controlled by the transmittance of the first dichroic mirror to 532nm and the reflectance of the second dichroic mirror to 532nm).

[0084] The final beam output ratio (1064nm:532nm) = P1064-path1:P532-path2.

[0085] When a 1:1 output is required, P1064-path1=P532-path2;

[0086] By reducing the incident angle of the first dichroic mirror, its reflectivity at 1064nm is reduced, thereby decreasing P1064-path1. At the same time, this angle change will also affect P532-path2, but through precise adjustment, a balance point can be found to make the two equal.

[0087] When a 10:1 output is required, P1064-path1=10×P532-path2;

[0088] By increasing the incident angle of the first dichroic mirror, its reflectivity at 1064nm is maximized, thereby...

[0089] P1064-path1 is close to its maximum value; at the same time, this angle will change the transmittance of the first dichroic mirror to 532nm and may reduce the reflectance of the second dichroic mirror to 532nm, thereby reducing P532-path2; with one increase and one decrease, a high ratio of 10:1 can be easily achieved.

[0090] Dual-band beam combiner: Polarization beam combiner (PBC) is combined with wavelength beam combiner. The 1064 nm light is rotated and polarized by a λ / 2 waveplate and then orthogonally polarized and combined with the 532 nm light. The total loss of the dual wavelengths is <5%, and the divergence angle of the output beam is <0.5 mrad.

[0091] Verification of light spot control:

[0092] Minimum spot size:

[0093] The system operates in beam-shrinking mode. The beam is first pre-processed by a 5x beam expander and collimator, then reduced in diameter by an adjustable beam expander, and finally focused using the last lens assembly of the beam expander (equivalent focal length f=50mm), achieving a minimum spot diameter of approximately 0.1 mm. Power density >100 GW / cm²;

[0094] Maximum beam size: The system can directly output a collimated beam of 5 mm. After beam shaping, a flat-top distribution with a uniformity of >90% is obtained.

[0095] Switching speed: Response time for changes in spot diameter <100 ms (stepper motor drives lens displacement).

[0096] The beam transmission module of this invention features an integrated design of beam expander-color separator-beam combiner, which combines the ability to flexibly switch between high energy density (0.1 mm spot size) and large effective area (5 mm spot size).

[0097] Example 5: Internal and external surface structures of the treatment handle of the present invention:

[0098] The treatment handpiece has a built-in treatment control module that integrates a skin impedance detection sensor, a pulse energy closed-loop feedback unit, and a multi-wavelength collaborative triggering circuit, supporting dual-wavelength independent or alternating output modes.

[0099] The treatment control module also includes a pulse sequence generation unit and a lesion identification unit;

[0100] The pulse sequence generation unit supports 1064 nm single-wavelength mode, 532 nm single-wavelength mode, and dual-wavelength mode.

[0101] Wavelength alternation mode, with an adjustable alternation frequency of 1-100 Hz;

[0102] The lesion identification unit automatically matches wavelength selection strategies based on multispectral imaging data, wherein:

[0103] The 1064 nm pulse is preferentially activated in melanin-targeting tissues.

[0104] 532 nm pulses are preferentially activated for hemoglobin-targeting tissues;

[0105] The dual-wavelength alternation mode is used for the treatment of complex lesions.

[0106] The invention provides a safety protection unit on the outer surface of the treatment handle, comprising a contact cooling window, a real-time skin temperature monitoring probe, and an automatic pulse over-limit cutoff device. The contact cooling window adopts a modular quick-release design and is electrically connected to the handle body via spring pin contacts. The cooling window has a diameter of 20 mm and a pressure adjustment range of 0.5-2 N / cm². The temperature monitoring probe is arranged in a ring array around the cooling window, containing 8 miniature infrared sensors with a sampling rate of 1 kHz and a spatial resolution of 50 μm.

[0107] Example 6: The structure of the light guide arm of the present invention:

[0108] The end joint of the light guide arm of this invention is equipped with a dynamic focusing scanning galvanometer and a field lens containing X / Y axis scanning lenses. The dynamic focusing scanning galvanometer includes a high-speed Galvo scanning head, an adaptive focusing lens group, and a spot shape control unit. The high-speed Galvo scanning head has a maximum scanning speed of ≥2 m / s; the adaptive focusing lens group has a focal length adjustment range of 10-150 mm and a response time of <5 ms; and the spot shape control unit supports dynamic switching between circular, square, and linear spot shapes.

[0109] The field lens is an F-θ field lens, a telecentric field lens, or a 3D field lens, with a focal length of 30-500mm.

[0110] Each joint of the light guide arm has a built-in position encoder that provides real-time feedback on angle deviations to the control system. The galvanometer compensates for optical path offsets using an adaptive PID algorithm.

[0111] Example 7: Pulse Parameter Optimization Algorithm Module in the Control System of the Present Invention

[0112] The pulse parameter optimization algorithm module calculates the photothermal damage threshold in real time based on Monte Carlo simulation, and dynamically adjusts the combination of pulse energy and repetition frequency to ensure that the thermal relaxation time (TRT) is controlled within the range of 0.1-10 ms.

[0113] Example 8: Experimental verification data of the whole machine of the dual-wavelength picosecond ultrafast laser skin treatment device of the present invention:

[0114] Spectral characteristics of the therapeutic mode-locked picosecond laser ultrashort pulse output from the center of the treatment handpiece: 1064 nm linewidth <0.1 nm, 532 nm linewidth <0.05 nm (measured by a grating spectrometer).
