We have investigated the characteristics of a Nd:YAG laser pumped by a cw Ti:sapphire laser. When the pumping power of the Ti:sapphire laser was 850 ㎽, the maximum output power of the Nd:YAG laser was 450 ㎽. As a result, the slope efficiency for the output power of the Nd:YAG laser was measured to be 56%. We have also investigated the characteristics of a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser by using a Cr$^{4+}$:YAG as saturable absorber with initial transmission of 90%. The maximum average output power of 200 ㎽ was obtained with repetition rate of 23.8 KHz and pulse width of 17.0 ns.

Nd：YVO$_4$ 결정은 들뜬 상태의 발광 평균 수명이 90-100 $\mu\textrm{s}$로 아주 짧아서 Nd：YAG나 Nd：YLF 레이저 매질에 비해 짧은 펄스폭과 빠른 반복율을 가진 펄스들을 만들어 내는 Q-switching에 적합한 레이저 매질이다. 또한 Nd：YAG 결정에 비해 아주 큰 흡수 계수 및 이득 단면적을 지니고 있어 반도체 레이저로 펌핑하는 고체 레이저에 아주 적합한 레이저 이득 매질이다. (중략)

Passively Q-switched, laser diode(LD) end-pumped Nd:YAG laser was demonstrated by using $Cr^{4+}$:YAG as a saturable absorber. In addition , we could calculate an excitation efficiency, which is an important parameter to evaluate the pumping geometry, directly by measuring the absorbed power in Nd:YAG at threshold condition. We found that output parameters such as average power, pulse duration, and repetition rate strongly depended on the low intensity transmission of $Cr^{4+}$:YAG and driving current of lase diode. The maximum Q-switched output power of 1 W was obtained with 40 kHz repetition rate. The pulse duration was varied from 50 ns to 200 ns.

가공용 레이저로는 $CO_2$, 루비, Nd:YAG, 아르곤 이온 레이저 등이 이용되고 있으며, 이중 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저는 $CO_2$ 레이저와 함께 레이저 가공에 널리 사용되는 고체 레이저로서 마킹(making), 트리밍(trimming), 리페어링(repairing) 등의 정밀 가공 분야에서 많은 실용화가 이루어져 왔다.$^{(1)}$ $CO_2$ 레이저의 경우 매질가스로 $CO_2$, $N_2$, He 등을 사용해야하므로 취급 및 유지보수가 불편하지만, 열전도율이 높고, 기계적 광학적으로 안정된 Nd:YAG 레이저는 램프에 의한 광 여기 방식이므로 유지보수가 쉽다. 또한 광 출력의 제어가 용이하며, 광파이버에 의한 빔 전송이 가능하여 산업기술 및 의료 분야에서의 적용이 더욱 더 확대되고 있다.$^{(2)}$ (중략)

For transdermal drug delivery, needless injection system is composed of laser and microjet injector. Main mechanism of microjet injector is the laser-induced bubble. Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser are used as a power source. Laser parameters such as pulse duration and wavelength are considered, which are core parameters to control the bubble motion. The Nd:YAG laser, pulse duration is short than bubble life time making cavitation like bubble while in Er:YAG laser, long pulse duration and high absorption in water drive bubble as a boiling bubble. Detailed motion of bubble and microjet is captured by the high speed camera. So it is observed that microjet characteristics are determined by the bubble behavior. The performance of drug delivery system is evaluated by fluorescent staining of guinea pig skin.

The core loss of $3\%$ SiFe is strongly dependent on silicon content, impurities, permeability, and domain structure of the SiFe. Domain refining has been proved to be very good method for reduction of core loss in high permeability grain oriented SiFe, and laser scribing is well-blown as an effective and industrially important method of domain refinement. In this work, magnetic domain refinement has been carried out by using a pulsed Nd : YAG laser, and the core losses have been measured and analyzed to and optimal parameters of the laser treatment. The laser hem was focused with a spot size of $100{\mu}m$ and pulse energy of 10${\~}$35mJ and the lines were scribed with a period of ${\~}$5mm. The core loss was improved up to $17\%$ with 30 ns-Nd : YAG laser beam in $3\%$ SiFe.

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp rum-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor. With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes

A Cr:YAG crystal was used as a saturable absorber for passive Q-switching of a Nd:$YVO_4$ laser which was pumped by a 1-W continuous wave laser diode. The first surface of the Cr:YAG was high-reflection coated for the pump wavelength. The high-reflection coating improved the absorption efficiency of the pump beam in the Nd:$YVO_4$ through double pass absorption. It also prevented pump beam induced partial bleaching of the Cr:YAG. The peak-to-peak pulse fluctuation of passively Q-switched laser output was approximately 4 %. The minimum pulse-width was measured to be 7.11 ns. Also, the average pulse repetition rate was 9 kHz and the maximum output power was 16.27 mW.
