Abstract

In this paper, the effect of the femtosecond laser process parameters on the texture characteristics of the microstructure was analyzed with the response surface method. The correspondence between the temperature of skin during laser bonding and microscopic tissue texture characteristics parameters was explored. The results show that the three process parameters of laser power, scanning speed, and scanning times and the interaction between the parameters have different patterns of influence on the four texture characteristics parameters of skin microstructure angular second-order moments, entropy, contrast, and relevance. Angular second-order moments and relevance of skin microstructure textures increase with increasing temperature, while entropy values and contrast decrease. It provides another way to evaluate the performance of femtosecond laser-bonded skin with microstructure.

Keywords: femtosecond laser; gray-level co-occurrence matrix; microstructure properties; skin tissue.
