We propose a linearly polarized long-cavity Yb:YAG laser with a variable-reflectivity output coupler and investigate its output characteristics. The variable output coupler consists of a polarized beam splitter and a quarter-wave plate. The linearly polarized laser has a long cavity length of about 3.7 m. The slope efficiency of the proposed laser is 19%, and the beam quality ($M^2$) is about 1.2.

We measured the absorption rate of a Nd:YVO$_4$crystal with a thickness of 1 mm and the output power characteristics of a cw Nd:YVO$_4$/KTP laser with respect to the change of wavelength and the polarizations of a tunable Ti:sapphire pump laser with a linewidth of 0.2 nm. In the case of S-polarization (E┴$\pi$) and P-polarization (E∥$\pi$) of a pump laser, the maximum absorption rate of the crystal was 82% at 809.4 nm and 98% at 808.8 nm, and slope efficiencies for the output power of the Nd:YVO$_4$laser (1064 nm) were 43% and 52%, respectively. The maximum Nd:YYO$_4$laser output power of 516 mW was obtained from the P-polarization pump laser of 1000 mW. As a result of an intracavity frequency-doubling, slope efficiency for the output power of the Nd:YVO$_4$/KTP green laker (532nm) was 23% and the maximum output power of 205 mW with the beam quality (M$^2$) of 1.42 was obtained from the P-polarization pump laser of 1000 mW.

최근 세포 포집 소자 제작에 있어 세포의 종류와 크기의 다양성을 고려하여 정확하게 포집하기 위한 고정밀화, 소형화 된 도구 제작 기술 개발이 중요한 현안으로 떠오르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행 기술에서의 세포 포집 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 펨토초 레이저 가공을 통한 미세 세포 포집 장치 제작에 관한 실험을 진행하였다. 펨토초 레이저의 짧은 파장의 대역 범위와 전력 특성이 미세 소자 제작을 가능하게 함에 따라 수백, 수천 개의 세포 포집에 있어 보다 안정적이고 신뢰도 높은 포집 장치 구현을 실현시킬 수 있다. 실험에서는 펨토초 레이저의 가공 조건을 가변하며 MEMS 소자에 홀(hole)을 형성시켰다. flatness 200인 Polycarbonate 재질의 기판 위에 CNC공작기계를 사용하여 유로를 제작하고 상부에 젤라틴 코팅 부분 2를 포함한 총 두께 12의 membrane 필름을 부착하였다. 이후 775 nm 파장의 펨토초 레이저를 사용하여 10${\times}$10 개수의 홀을 형성 한 후 홀 주위의 thermal damage와 레이저의 파워에 따른 홀의 형태와 크기 변화를 비교하였다. 실험 결과 membrane 막의 젤라틴 코팅 측면 홀의 평균 직경은 레이저의 파워와 비례하여 증가하였으며, 레이저 파워가 일정한 임계치에 도달하면 특정 시점에서 수렴됨을 확인하였다. 또한 PET 측면의 직경은 서서히 증가하고 빠르게 일정한 값으로 수렴됨을 확인하였다. 본 실험에서는 펨토초 레이저의 특성 파라미터와 레이저의 가공 조건을 수립함으로써 실험에서 사용 된 레이저를 이용한 드릴링 방안을 제시한다.

과장 변환기는 WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) 시스템에서 wavelength relocation을 가능하게 하여 시스템의 유연성과 효율성을 향상시킨다는 측면에서 매우 중요한 기능을 갖는다. WDM 시스템의 채널의 수가 점차 증가함에 따라 채널의 간격이 100 GHz에 이르고 있으며 향후 더욱 조밀해 질것이다. 이러한 DWDM (Dense WDM)시스템에서 사용될 수 있는 파장변환기는 100 GHz단위의 파장변환 기능과 광대역 가변 변위가 필수적이다. (중략)

We propose a Yb:YAG laser Q-switched by a semiconductor saturable absorber and a laser output coupler composed of a polarizer and a quarter-wave plate, and we investigate the output characteristics of the proposed Q-switched laser. We show that the laser power can be varied by rotation of the quarter-wave plate.

A Cr:LiSAF laser pumped by semiconductor lasers was constructed. The pumping laser was a high-power semiconductor laser (SDL 7432-H1) of wavelength 674 nm and maximum power of 500 mW. The laser crystal was a Cr:LiSAF of plano-Brewster shape with 3% Cr3+ion concentration and 3 mm in length. The plane facet of the crystal was coated to get the maximum transmittance of pupmping laser and maximu reflection over the 800 - 880 nm bandwidth. V-shaped resonator was used to compensate the astigmatism induced by the crystal. The output power of the Cr:LiSAF laser was 19.4 mW at the pumping power of 290 mW. The wavelength was tuned by a steep dive-angled birefringent filter from 840 nm to 880 nm and the characteristics of the filter were agreed well with a theory.

Multipass Ti:sapphire amplifier for the light source of DIAL was developed with an angular-multi-plexing, and the characteristics of output energy and spectra were investigated. As the characteristics of two-stage multipass amplifier, the maximum output energy was 22 mJ and the amplification gain was 20 dB on the wavelength of 790 nm. At that condition, output efficiency of the pumping energy was 18 percent. We obtained $0.15cm^{-1}$ (9.4 pm) as a spectral linewidth in the tuning range of 705~845 nm.

We demonstrate the wavelength swept source and signal processing for the frequency domain optical coherence tomography. The laser output performance is improved by using a semiconductor optical amplifier with a booster amplifier. The laser generates 14 mW of average power of which wavelength shift in the lasing spectral shape is compensated. Adopting a Fabry-Perot etalon and digital signal processing, the broadening of the beat frequency due to the variance of wavelength-sweep-velocity is calibrated. The optical coherence tomography system shows 154.4 kHz of axial scanning speed, 0.95mm of depth range, and $12{\pm}0.37{\mu}m$ of axial resolution.
