We report the phase transformation of Co thin films on a sapphire substrate induced by laser irradiation. As grown Co films were initially strained and tetragonally distorted. With low power laser irradiation, the surface was ruptured and irregular holes were formed. As the laser power was increased, the films changed into round shape Co nanocrystals with well-defined 6-fold structure. By measuring the XRD of Co nanostructure as a function of laser energy densities, we found that the change of morphological shapes from films to nanocrystals was accompanied with decrease of the tetragonal distortion as well as strain relaxation. By measuring the size distribution of nanocrystals as a function of film thickness, the average diameter is proportional to 1.7 power of the film thickness which was consistent with the prediction of thin film hydrodynamic (TFT) dwetting theory. Finally, we fabricated the formation of size controlling nanocrystals on the sapphire substrate without strain.

Background and Objectives Due to changes in diet and lifestyle, the number of obese people worldwide is steadily increasing. Obesity has an adverse effect on a healthy life, so it needs treatment and improvement. Research related to this is continuously being conducted. Materials and Methods The laser system to compact designed using 808 nm laser diode and Neodymium Yttrium orthovanadate generates a 1064 nm wavelength, the periodically polarized nonlinear crystal pumping laser beam. The pulsed 1064 nm wavelength beam passing through the AO Q-switch is used as the pumping light of the nonlinear optical crystal and is irradiated to the periodic polarized nonlinear optical crystal with a quasi-phase matching period. Nonlinear optical crystals use an oven to control the temperature to generate the desired 1980 nm and 2300 nm wavelengths. Results The 1980 nm and 2300 nm wavelengths generated by temperature control of nonlinear optical crystals are effective for lipolysis. A fiber catheter was used so that the laser could be directly irradiated to the fat cells. In particular, the new wavelength (1980 nm, 2300 nm) can increase the fat reduction effect with low energy (1.3 W). When a laser with a combination wavelength of 1980 nm and 2300 nm was used, an average lipolysis effect of 20% was obtained. Conclusion A mid-infrared lipolysis laser system with excellent absorption of fat and water has been developed. We conducted a princlinical study to confirm the efficacy and safety of the lipolysis laser system, and obtained good results for lipolysis with low energy.

Laser cladding is a technique for modification of metal surface. In this laser cladding experiment a metal powder feeding system was developed for more efficient laser cladding. This system can reduce processing time and be used simpler than the conventional method. The feeding of metal powder has given a rise to the process for sequential buildup of bulk rapidly solidified materials in the form of fine powder stream to the laser cladding process. The parameters of laser cladding have been investigated using this experimental equipment. Bronze on aluminum alloy and copper on aluminum alloy were experimented by using defocused beam, powder feeding system, and gas shielding. Good cladding was achieved in the range of beam travel speed of 2.25m/min. In the case of copper/aluminum and bronze/aluminum substrate, the absorption of laser beam was too high to produce low diluted clad. In the case of copper/1050 aluminum, the optimal laser cladding condition was of laser power of 2.8kW, powder feed rate of 0.31g/s and beam travel speed of 2.25m/min. In the case of bronze/aluminum the optimal condition is of laser power of 2.5kW, powder feed rate of 0.31g/s, and beam travel speed of 2.36m/min.

The important parameters deciding the fluctuation of laser beam are smoothing capacitor, frequency and the characteristics of laser resonator. In this thesis, we control the fluctuation of $CO_2$ laser in realtime by changing Duty-Ratio of IGBT and switching frequency with fixed the smoothing capacitor to improve the fluctuation of laser beam. We detect the light on laser resonator using a CdS photo sensor to improve ripple factor of laser beam and feedback fluctuated signals refined by a band pass filter into the control circuit to stabilize fluctuation actively. There is much to be desired in the realtime controlling technique of the light on laser discharge tube in electrical signal. We propose switching control technique with microprocessor and photo sensing technique by controlling switch devices optimum operation and feedback signals detected by a photo sensor into the laser power supply in order to improve ripple factor of the $CO_2$ laser beam.

High power laser beams are used in a wide variety of materials processing applications such as cutting, welding, drilling and surface treatment. The CO$\sub$2/ laser is increasingly used in laser beam welding because of the highly potential advantages. High power laser welding is a high energy density, no filler metals and low heat input process to join metals. As the comparison with the conventiona welding, precision work and good fit-up to join the metals are required and maintenance is expensive at present. The principal variables of laser beam welding are the laser beam power, travel speed and bean spot size. The penetration depth during laser beam welding is directly related to the power density of the laser beam. Generally, for a constant beam size, the penetration depth increases with increasing laser beam power.

이 논문은 단일조사 저출력 $CO_2$ Laser조사가 치주인대 섬유아세포의 증식과 분화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 가장 효과적인 에너지와 파워밀도(power density)를 알아보기 위해 다음과 같이 실험하였다. 0.5W 출력, 10.6 ${\mu}m$ 파장, 50 Hz 연속형 $CO_2$ Laser를 사용하여, 실험군은 laser tip과 배양된 세포 사이의 거리를 2cm, 3cm으로 나누고, 조사시간을 1초, 3초로 나누어 4개의 군으로 설정하였고 대조군은 laser를 조사하지 않은 군으로 하였다. 치주인대 섬유아세포의 증삭정도와 골모세포로의 분화정도를 보기 위하여 각각 MTT 실험과 ALP activity 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Laser를 조사하고 난 후 5일째에, 모든 군에서 유의하게 세포가 증식되는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 조사방법간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. 대조군과 살험군에서 0일째에 비하여 3일째, 5일째, 7일째, 10일째에 통계적으로 유의 하게 ALP activity가 증가하였고, 이중 2cm,1sec 군을 제외하면 3일째에서 가장 높은 ALP activity 값을 보였다. 특징적으로 2cm,1sec 군은 3일째부터 10일까지 통계적으로 유의하지는 않지만 시간이 지남에 따라서 ALP activity가 증가함을 보였다. 7일과 10일째에는 2cm,1sec, 3cm,3sec군에서 다른 군에 비하여 큰 activity값을 보였다. 이번실험에서 저출력 $CO_2$ Laser 조사는 세포의 증식보다는 분화에 더 큰 영향을 끼쳤고, 2cm, 1sec, 3cm, 3sec 군이 치주인대 섬유아세포의 분화에 가장 효과적인 laser 조사방법으로 분석되었다.
