Many applications in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) require laser pulses at multiple wavelengths. High repetition rate multi-wavelength lasers have been demonstrated using nonlinear fiber optics, which produce a wide wavelength range but tend to suffer from low pulse energy (e.g. 100 nJ). This paper presents our preliminary investigation into multimode fibers as a path to achieve higher output laser pulse energy for multi-spectral PAM. Laser pulses from a 532 nm pulsed Nd:YAG laser are coupled into a large mode area (LMA) fiber that supports six spatial modes at 532 nm. Phase-matched four-wave mixing (FWM) between fiber modes produces a broad continuum extending past 800 nm. The pulse energy at 550, 650, and 750 nm spectral bands is 0.84 uJ, 1.31 uJ, and 0.73 uJ, respectively. Multi-spectral imaging experiments successfully differentiate vessel phantoms containing Allura Red, methylene blue, and IR-820 dyes. These results show the potential of using intermodal FWM in a few-mode multimode fiber to achieve uJ-level pulse energies for multi-spectral PAM applications.

Since the perceptual quality of audio signals is easily to be affected by compression, transmission, noise adding, etc, it is of great significance to develop an effective audio quality assessment (AQA) method to measure end-user’s quality of experience. In this paper, we propose a full reference AQA model named Multidimensional Similarity Fusion for Audio Quality Assessment (MSF-AQA). We generalize the similarity-based image quality assessment methods for audio, then extract audio similarity features from multiple dimensions, and finally regress the multidimensional similarity features into the final quality score. The experimental results across three databases indicate that our MSF-AQA model outperforms the state-of-the-art AQA methods.

Haptic feedback is integral to the improved experience of prosthetic users and the reduction in prosthesis rejection. Unfortunately, existing haptic feedback systems often face challenges that impede their transition to clinical use including lack of intuitive control, reproducibility, and personalized customization. Prior studies have explored various methods to encode tactile information and deliver vibration feedback. However, a comprehensive study comparing performance across different stimulation locations and feedback modalities for wearable devices is absent and there is no robust test platform. This paper proposes an open-source reconfigurable haptic feedback system which features 25 sensors and wireless communication to allow customized number of vibration motors, adjustable motor placement, and programmable encoding of tactile data to change feedback modalities. To demonstrate the potential studies that can be investigated using the proposed system, we conducted two preliminary experiments: 1) to assess the vibration discrimination accuracy on three body parts (upper arm, shoulder, and lower back) 2) to evaluate the effect of six methods of mapping tactile data to varying number of motors on object manipulation. This proposed tool utilizes low-cost off-the-shelf components, enabling large-scale comparative studies of feedback modalities and stimulation sites to optimize vibrotactile feedback and facilitate its deployment in upper limb prostheses.
