Organic ($Alq_3$) film, which was coated on a donor plate, was transferred to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) substrate with help of heat generated by a dithering laser beam. The laser beam was diffracted in an acousto-optic modulator (AOM), then focused on the laser-to-heat converting layer of the donor plate; the focused spot followed trajectories guided by rotation of a Galvano-mirror. Three different functional waveforms, sine wave, square wave, and saw tooth wave were applied to the AOM as modulation signal to generate the dithering beam. The fluorescence microscope images of the donor plate showed that the patterns of removed $Alq_3$ film were affected considerably by the modulation waveforms and the phase difference between adjacent dithering beams. Further, the printed images of Alq3 film on the OLED substrate were different from the patterns of removed Alq3 film. Atomic force microscope images indicated that not only direct transfer but also deposition by sublimated vapor of Alq3 contributed to the pattern formation. Printed patterns affected considerably the electricity-to-light conversion characteristics of OLEDs. For uniform transfer, not only the phase relation of dithering beam lines but also adequate waveform were important.

A Gaussian beam of single mode fiber laser was changed into a ring-shaped pattern after it was transmitted through the hollow optical fiber. The ring-shaped beam was focused on a plane by an f-. lens and it was scanned by a Galvano-mirror. The spatial profile of laser energy incident on a plane had two peaks at both sides of the scanned linear track. The profile was compared with the result obtained when the Gaussian beam was dithered transversely by an acousto-optic modulator. It is found that hollow optical fiber beam shaper can replace acousto-optic beam dithering device which is employed in a laser induced thermal printing system.

A modified setup of a CMD technique for high power coherent beam combining was presented to address an issue of low damage threshold of electro-optic modulators. The feasibility of the modified setup was demonstrated by combining eight fiber beams, and it was successfully performed with ${\lambda}/44$ of residual phase error and 100 Hz of control bandwidth. It is expected that the modified CMD setup facilitates ultra-high power coherent beam combination without a limitation caused by the low damage threshold of electro-optic modulators.

영상처리를 이용한 다양한 응용 예가 소개되고 있으며, 실제로 주차관리시스템을 포함하여 산업 현장에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 형상 인식을 위하여 레이저 빔을 활용한 예를 제시하고자 한다. 여기서는 차량에서 배출되는 폐오일 필터의 상, 하를 구분하기 위하여 라인형 레이저를 사용한 영상처리 시스템을 소개한다. 폐오일필터에 라인형 레이저를 조사하고, 그 영상을 카메라를 통해 획득한다. 획득된 영상은 폐오일필터의 상, 하를 구분할 수 있는 상태 정보를 가지고 있으며, 이 정보의 분석을 통하여 폐오일필터의 상, 하를 구분하도록 시스템을 구현한다. 본 시스템은 다양한 조명환경에서 폐오일필터의 상태를 정확히 확인할 수 있을 정도의 매우 높은 강인성을 가지게 되며, 영상처리를 위한 계산 양을 대폭 감소시켜준다. 실제 적용 예를 통하여 그 유용성을 제시한다.
