We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

The current study proposes the design of a hybrid series-parallel resonant converter (SPRC) and a three-stage Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier for precisely adjusting the power generated by a continuous wave (CW) $CO_2$ laser. The design of a hybrid SPRC, called LCC resonant converter, is described, and the fundamental approximation of a high-voltage and high-frequency (HVHF) transformer with a resonant tank is discussed. The results of the current study show that the voltage drop and ripple of a three-stage Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier depend on frequency. The power generated by a CW $CO_2$ laser can be precisely adjusted by a variable-frequency controller using a DSP (TMS320F2812) microprocessor. The proposed LCC converter could be used to obtain a maximum laser output power of 23 W. Moreover, it could precisely adjust the laser output power within 4.3 to 23 W at an operating frequency range of 187.5 to 370 kHz. The maximum efficiency of the $CO_2$ laser system is approximately 16.5%, and the minimum ripple of output voltage is about 1.62%.

In this study, wire was used as the filler material for the laser repair welding, and the phenomenon in which the supplied filler material was melted and beaded down into the specimen was examined with varying laser powers and welding speeds. The optimal processing condition was found to be the laser power of 1,300 W, the welding speed and feed wire supply speed of 0.5 ml/in and the defocused distances of +2mm. At this time, the heat input(E) was $65{\sim}75\;J/mm^2$, and no internal defect occurred. When repair welding was carried out as the optimal processing for the part that had an external defect with the radius of 2mm, the filler metal was melted, resulting in the volume smaller than the defect part and thus causing the part unfilled. Therefore, it was found to be necessary to carry out repair welding two to three times by multiple passes rather than does it only once by single pass.

An experimental investigation with 2.8kW Nd:YAG laser system was carried out to study the effects of different laser process parameters on the microstructure and hardness of STD11. The optical lens with the elliptical profile are designed to obtain a wide surface hardening area with uniform hardness. The Laser beam is allowed to scan on the surface of the work piece varying the power (1600, 1800 and 1900kW) and traverse speed (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000mm/min) at three different F-numbers of lens. After laser surface treatment three zones, In the microstructure have been observed : melted zone(decarburization), heat affected zone(martensite), and the substrate.

The objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of process parameters, such as power of laser, travel speed of laser and material thickness, on roughness and striation of the cut surface for the case of cutting of CSP 1N sheet using high power Nd:YAG laser with continuous wave(CW). In order to find the practical cutting region and the relationship between process parameters on the roughness and the striation, several laser cutting experiments are carried out. From the results of experiments, the allowable cutting region and an optimal cutting speed for each cutting condition have been obtained to improve the quality of the cut surface. In addition, it has been shown that the surface roughness is related to the number of striation and depth of valley of the cut surface.

Several joining methods involving resistance welding, laser welding, ultrasonic welding and mechanical joining are currently applied in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries. Cu and Al alloys are used for tab and bus bar materials, and laser welding characteristics for these alloys were investigated with similar and dissimilar material combinations in this study. The base materials used were Al 1050 and oxygen-free Cu 1020P alloys, and a disk laser was used with a continuous wave mode. In bead-on-plate welding of both alloys, the joint strength was higher than the strength of O tempered base material. In overlap welding, the effect of welding parameters on the tensile shear strength and bead shape was evaluated. Tensile shear strength of overlap welded joint was affected by interfacial bead width and weld defect formation. The tensile-shear specimen was fractured at the heat affected zone by selecting proper laser welding parameters.

1.064 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장의 연속발진 Nd:YAG 레이저를 펌핑 광원으로 하여 적외선 영역에서 광대역으로 파장 가변되는 연속발진 및 극초단펄스 C $r^{4+}$ :YAG 레이저를 자체 제작하였다. C $r^{4+}$ :YAG 레이저의 연속발진 및 펄스의 출력특성과 파장 가변 영역은 다음과 같다. 연속발진일 경우 1.436 $\mu\textrm{m}$에서 600 mW의 평균출력을 보였으나, 복굴절 필터를 삽입했을 경우는 1.492 $\mu\textrm{m}$근처에서 400 mW의 평균출력을 보였다. 펄스발진일 경우 1.436 $\mu\textrm{m}$에서 최초로 평균출력 320 mW의 모드록킹된 펄스가 발생하였지만 물 흡수대의 영향으로 불안정함을 피할 수 없었다. 따라서, 복굴절 필터를 사용하여 중심파장을 1.492 $\mu\textrm{m}$로 이동시켰으며 이 영역에서 안정한 상태의 모드록킹된 43 fs의 극초단 펄스를 생성하였다. 이 때의 평균출력은 280 mW이고, 반치폭(FWHM)은 45 nm이었다.

Photochemical patterning of self-assembled mono layers (SAMs) has been performed by diode pumped solid state (DPSS) 3rd harmonic Nd:$YVO_4$ laser with wavelength of 355 nm. SAMs patternings of parallel lines have subsequently been used either to generate compositional chemical patterns or fabricate microstructures by a wet etching. This paper describes a selective etching process with patterned SAMs of alkanetiolate molecules on the surface of gold. SAMs formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols onto gold substrate employs as very thin photoresists. In this paper, the influence of the interaction between the functional group of SAMs and the etching solution is studied with optimal laser irradiation conditions. The results show that hydrophobic functional groups of SAMs are more effective for selective chemical etching than the hydrophilic ones.

본 논문은 광역학적 암치료 효율을 높이기 위한 레이저 시스템의 최적화 구현에 관한 연구이다. 레이저 시스템의 최적화를 위해서는 레이저 출력의 출력 변동율과 파장대의 편이가 적어야 한다. 임상에서 암치료의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 악성종양부위에 조사되는 방사방식이 다양하게 구현되어야 한다. 기존에 사용되고 있는 C.W 방식은 정상조직에도 손상을 입힐 수 있는 생체조직의 열적효과를 가져올 수 있다. 이에 새로운 방사모드를 제안하여 생체조직에 대한 열적 안전성과 치료의 효율을 높였다. 실험을 통하여 광파장의 안정성 및 광 출력과 출력의 안정성을 확인 하였고, 피부조직의 열적 손상 방지를 위한 방사모드의 구현은 생체조직에 대한 실험을 통해서 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A high-power Yb:YAG thin-disc laser with radial or azimuthal polarization incorporating an intracavity S-waveplate is reported. Depending on the rotational angle of the S-waveplate placed in the cavity, a Yb:YAG thin-disc laser yields 10.8 W and 10.2 W of continuous-wave outputs with radial and azimuthal polarization for an incident pump power of 131 W, corresponding to slope efficiencies of 22.9% and 23.7%, respectively. The output characteristics for each polarization state were investigated in detail by analyzing the insertion loss and the mode overlap efficiency due to the S-waveplate. Further prospects for power scaling will be discussed.
