KLM 티타늄사파이어(Ti：sapphire) 레이저의 발달로 10 펨토초 영역의 레이저 펄스를 간단하게 생성할 수 있게 되었으며 특히, 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가지는 처프거울(chirped mirror)의 사용과 정확한 분산의 보정을 통한 5 펨토초(800 nm 파장의 두 주기에 해당) 영역의 레이저 펄스 생성도 보고되고 있다.

We have demonstrated the selection and the amplification of the components of an optical frequency comb using femto-second laser injection-locking technique. We used a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser as a master laser and a single-mode diode laser as a slave laser. After passing through the interference filter with the center wavelength 794.7 nm and the transmittance bandwidth 1.5 nm, the optical frequency comb by mode-locked femto-second laser was injected into the slave laser. The injection-locked slave laser had $3{\sim}4$ multi-mode with the mode spacing 100.5 MHz, whichcorrespond to the repetition rate of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. The power of the modes selected by femto-second laser injection-locking technique was amplified to several thousands times

Optical coherence tomography system has been extensively studied because it has some advantages such as imaging of high resolution, low cost, and compact size configuration. In order to obtain high resolution of OCT system we configured OCT system using a femto-second laser. We measure the pulse width using autocorrelator function because a femto-second laser is ultra short pulse. And we measured the practical resolution using theoretical equation and the measurement of reference sample. It is confirmed that the proposed OCT system has 1.5 times higher resolution and un distinctive cross-sectional image than OCT system with SLD as a light source.

Interface friction in blanking dies, cold forging and extrusion of aluminum alloys is a major cause of inefficient process. This paper describes an investigation of femtosecond laser texturing for reduction of interface friction on sliding surfaces in forming process. Femtosecond direct writing technology was used to fabricate a laser micro-machined die and to create microgroove patterns with varying size and density on metal forming dies. A systematic approach to find the optimum parameters and computer simulation comparison of friction coefficients are provided to study the relation of friction coefficients and die profiles. In metal forming tests, the effectiveness of various laser-machined patterns for enhancing interface lubrication is determined.

펨토초는 1000조 분의 1초를 말한다. $10^{-15}$를 의미하는 단위명이 펨토(Femto)이기 때문에 붙여진 이름이다. 눈을 한 번 깜박이는 시간이 약 10분의 1초, 총알이 물체를 통과하는 데 걸리는 시간이 약 100만 분의 5초인 점을 감안하면 펨토초는 상상하기도 힘들 정도로 빠른 시간인 셈이다. 이런 펨토초 동안 벌어지는 물리, 화학, 생물학적 현상을 연구하는 학문이 펨토과학이며 주로 펨토초 레이저를 이용해 관찰한다. 현재 전 세계적으로 펨토초의 극히 짧은 시간에 1000조 와트(페타와트)의 고출력 레이저를 발생시킬 수 있는 광양자빔 연구시설 구축 사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 국내에서는 광주과학기술원(GIST) 고등광기술연구소가 '극초단 광양자빔 연구시설 설치 운영사업(사업책임자: 이종민 교수)'을 통해 국가 대형 레이저 연구시설인 '페타와트 극초단 초강력 레이저 연구시설(PULSER)'을 최근 구축 완료했다. 이번호에서는 21세기를 이끌 신성장동력 중 하나로 각광 받고 있는 펨토과학기술의 국내 연구 현황과 페타와트 극초단 초강력 레이저 연구시설(PULSER)에 대해 자세히 소개하고자 한다.

Gelatin is used as a model for soft biological tissues in studying laser interaction with the soft tissues. In this work, we analyze the interaction between gelatin and excimer and Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser under various conditions, especially by varying the laser, laser fluence and pulse number. The results show that swelling of the surface and ablation depth can be controlled by adjusting the process parameters.

Over the last three decades, the development of Ti:sapphire femtosecond lasers has led to advancements in scientific and industrial fields. In particular, these advanced lasers show great potential for applications with bio-imaging and medical surgery, such as two-photon microscopy, nonlinear Raman microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and ophthalmic surgery. Herein, we present a detailed description of the theoretical and experimental physics of Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers and its two-photon microscopy.

An experimental study of the femtosecond laser machining of Si materials was carried out. Direct laser machining of the materials for the feature size of a few micron scale has the advantage of low cost and simple process comparing to the semiconductor process, E-beam lithography, ECM and other machining process. Further, the femtosecond laser is the better tool to machine the micro parts due to its characteristics of minimizing the heat affected zone(HAZ). As a result of line cutting of Si, the optimal condition had the region of the effective energy of 2mJ/mm-2.5mJ/mm with the power of 0.5mW-1.5mW. The polarization effects of the incident beam existed in the machining qualities, therefore the sample motion should be perpendicular to the projection of the electric vector. We also observed the periodic ripple patterns which come out in condition of the pulse overlap with the threshold energy. Finally, we could machined the groove with the linewidth of below $2{\mu}m$ for the application of MEMS device repairing, scribing and arbitrary patterning.

We fabricated a multi-layer diffraction grating inside fused silica glass by using a femtosecond laser direct writing method. The femtosecond laser with a wavelength of 515 nm, a pulse width of 250 fs, a repetition rate of 100 kHz, and an average output power of 6 W was used. Two layer diffraction grating with a grating period of $6{\mu}m$ was successfully fabricated with the layer gap of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and $5{\mu}m$, respectively. Also, we investigated the diffraction pattern by illuminating a He-Ne laser beam. Finally, we demonstrated the diffraction grating with a grating period of $3{\mu}m$ by adjusting the gap of each layer with a grating period of $6{\mu}m$. Femtosecond laser direct writing technology of multi-layer has a potential to fabricate the diffraction grating with a grating period of below $1.5{\mu}m$.
