The vocal folds experience repeated collision during phonation. The resulting contact pressure is often considered to play an important role in vocal fold injury, and has been the focus of many experimental studies. In this study, vocal fold contact pattern and contact pressure during phonation were numerically investigated. The results show that vocal fold contact in general occurs within a horizontal strip on the medial surface, first appearing at the inferior medial surface and propagating upward. Because of the localized and travelling nature of vocal fold contact, sensors of a finite size may significantly underestimate the peak vocal fold contact pressure, particularly for vocal folds of low transverse stiffness. This underestimation also makes it difficult to identify the contact pressure peak in the intraglottal pressure waveform. These results showed that the vocal fold contact pressure reported in previous experimental studies may have significantly underestimated the actual values. It is recommended that contact pressure sensors with a diameter no greater than 0.4 mm are used in future experiments to ensure adequate accuracy in measuring the peak vocal fold contact pressure during phonation.

When focused to a small spot size in air, a sufficiently energetic laser pulse initiates a rapidly expanding plasma. After a delay, a shockwave detaches from the plasma boundary and propagates. General features of the shockwaves can be deduced from condenser microphone measurements. However, the minimum range is limited by damage thresholds, and the presence of the microphone introduces a number of measurement artifacts. Distortion of the signal is caused by diffraction around the sensor, and the limited bandwidth does not allow rise times to be correctly quantified. In contrast, optical interferometry is a nonintrusive diagnostic for quantifying shockwave characteristics. In this study, a Nd:YAG laser is focused through a converging lens in order to generate laser-induced shockwaves. By using a variable attenuator, four laser energy outputs are examined: 25, 50, 75, and 100% of the maximum energy transmission. Heterodyne Mach–Zehnder interferometer measurements are made from 10 mm to 200 mm from the focal point of the lens. Virtual velocity signals, proportional to the time derivative of optical phase differences, are used to estimate density and pressure time histories, along with peak pressure as a function of distance.
