조셉슨 터널접합을 사용한 초전도 혼합기 또는 믹서(SIS mixer)와 매우 얇은 초전도박막을 이용한 초전도 혼합기(HEB mixer)는 초전도 현상에 있어서의 거시적 양자효과를 유발하는 강한 비선형성을 가지기 때문에, 종래의 전자파 검출기로는 구현이 어렵고 또한 극도로 낮은 잡음특성을 실현한다. 테라헤르츠(THz) 주파수 영역용 고감도검출기로서도 기대되는 질화니오븀(NbN) 박막을 사용한 SIS 혼합기와 HEB 혼합기의 개발현황과 연구결과에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 그리고 최근에 많이 연구되고 있는 펨토초레이저와 고온초전도 상호작용을 이용한 테라헤르츠 연구결과도 소개한다.

We have measured terahertz electromagnetic pulses when DC voltage from V up to 90V is applied to the transmitter chip excited by femto-second laser pulse. The femto-second excitation laser pulse was injected to transmitter chip. Finally, we are observed the amplitude of electromagnetic pulse and variation of spectrum. Consequently, the amplitude of spectrum was increased to high frequency according to increase of voltage. At that time, the signal-to-noise rate(SNR) is increased from 250:1 to 10, 000:1.

Polyimide is one of the useful materials in industry. The surface treatment of polyimide by a femtosecond laser can help accurate and fine fabrication of microstructure. And it can change the transmittance and reflectance of polyimide, too. We put femtosecond laser pulses on polyimide for rectangular or square type surface treaments and observe the change of transmittance and reflectance. Pulsewidth is 172 fs, laser power changes for fabrication are from 5 mW to 20 mW, and transmittance and reflectance are measured under 20m W, 300m W, and 920 mW. Pulse patterning is stable and almost no unwanted surface damage is shown. As power increases, working depth increases but working line width does not increase significantly. As speed changes, they also have same results. It shows the efficiency of a femtosecond laser is good and thermal damage is small for polyimide.

We present the magnitude of terahertz electromagnetic pulses when femtosecond laser pulses are moving along to a dipole antenna. The dipole antenna chip has maximum 4.7 nA THz current, generated at 11 DC volt. This current is 3.4 times bigger than the current of a $300{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ separated transmission line structure chip that has 70 DC volt. We also apply an AC square wave voltage to the dipole antenna from 0.1 volt to 10 volt for binary signals using the terahertz electromagnetic pulses.

We report on the development of a passively mode-locked near-infrared femtosecond laser with Cr:YAG crystal that operates near room temperature. The laser wavelength could easily be tuned by using only the internal prism pair over 110 nm from 1400 nm to 1510 nm in cw and over about 30 nm in mode-locked operation, respectively Maximum cw output powers of 810 mW were obtained with $1.5 \%$ output coupler for absorbed pump powers of 7.6 W. For compensation of the internal group velocity dispersion, an IR graded prism pair was used. The Cr:YAG laser delivered nearly Fourier-transform limited pulses with a pulse duration as short as 64 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. In the mode-locked regime, the laser was operating at 1510 nm with a spectral bandwidth of 44 nm. In order to avoid unstable mode-locking and power instabilities, self-built tubes were inserted into the beam path in the resonator and purged with N2 gas. Finally, output powers of the Cr:YAG laser were optimized to 250 mW fer long time stable mode-locked operation.

We study numerically the temporal evolutions of two orthogonally polarized pulses with width less than 100fsec in all-optical phase-shift switches. We analyze the complicated interplay between a soliton pulse and a higher-order soliton pulse, including the self-and the cross-Raman scattering and the walk-off effect. We also investigate the influence of these interactions on switching performance, including pulse-shape, phase-shift distribution, and contrast ratio. In particular we show that an optical fiber with a typical birefringence (Δn : 2.4$\times$10$^{-5}$ ) can be used with good switching performance in such all-optical switches.

The present study investigates the thermal characteristics of a nanoscale superconductor material. A thin-film of $YBa_2Cu_3O_7-x$ was deposited on a $SrTiO_3$ substrate by using a pulsed-laser deposition technique and characterized using an ultrafast laser system. In order to extract a thermal conductivity value, a numerical solution for a transient one-dimensional heat conduction equation was obtained using a finite-difference method. The curve-fit shows a value 1.2 W/mK, which is relatively lower than those of bulk materials. This research provides a material property of superconductor thin-film required for the thermal design of micro or nanodevices.

To improve the strength of glass is being studied in order to contribute to weight saving of flat panel displays. Generally, the strength achieved of glass-ceramics is higher as is the fracture toughness by the formation of a heterogeneous Phase inside glass. In this study, Ag-doped $45SiO_2-24CaO-24Na_2O-4P_2O_5$ glasses were irradiated to strengthen by crystallization using femto-second laser pulse. UV/VIS, Spectroscope, XRD, nano-indenter and SEM etc. irradiation of laser pulse without heat-treated samples was analyzed. Samples irradiated by laser had higher value$(4.4\~4.56{\ast}10-3Pa)$ of elastic modulus which related with strength of glass than values heat-treated samples and these are $1.2\~1.5$ times higher values than them of mother glass. This process can be applicable to the strengthening of thinner glass plate, and it has an advantage over traditional heat-treatment and ion-exchange method.

We have successfully formed filament inside of a transparent soda-lime glass using a Ti:sapphire based femtosecond laser. To make filament form, keeping the laser intensity higher than critical intensity is essential. Also each of the machining parameters plays an important role for the formation of filament. In this paper, we study what parameter can possibly influence for formation of filament, and we introduce an application using filamentation by femtosecond laser for transparent material.
