We report on a diode-laser-pumped mode-locked Yb:KGW laser system, which delivers ultrashort pulses down to 89 fs at a repetition rate of 63 MHz, with an average power of up to 5.6 W. A fiber-coupled diode laser at 981 nm, operated with a compact driver, is used to optically pump the gain crystal via an off-axis parabolic mirror. A semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror is used to initiate the pulsed operation. Laser characteristics such as the pulse duration, spectrum bandwidth, and output power are investigated by varying the intracavity dispersions via changing the number of bounces between negative-dispersive mirrors within the cavity. Short pulses with a duration of 89 fs, a center wavelength of 1,027 nm, and 3.6 W of output power are produced at a group-velocity dispersion (GVD) of -3,300 fs². As the negative GVD increases, the pulse duration lengthens but the output power at the single-pulse condition can be enhanced, reaching 5.6 W at a GVD of -6,600 fs². Because of pulse broadening at high negative GVDs, the highest peak intensity is achievable at a moderate GVD with our system.

As laser pulse width becomes shortened from nanoseconds to femtoseconds, the effects caused by the dispersions of nonlinear optical mediums, such as group velocity mismatch and group velocity dispersion become considerably significant. The group velocity mismatch and group velocity dispersion are the major factors that lead to a decrease of frequency conversion efficiency and pulse spreading for picosecond and femtosecond pulses.

최근 레이저를 이용하여 환원된 친환경 그래핀 패턴 기술(Laser Induced Graphene, LIG)은 간단하고 효율적으로 원하는 형태로 다양한 기판 위에 패터닝하는 것이 가능하여 신축 유연 전자 소자, 박막 형태의 에너지 저장 소자 등과 같이 새로운 친환경 전자 소자 제작에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 그래핀 패턴 구조를 이용한 전자 소자의 성능과 효용성을 높이기 위해서는 그래핀 고유의 2차원 특성을 유지하면서 가능한 최소한의 선폭을 구현할 수 있는 최적화된 레이저 패터닝 조건에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 최근 레이저 그래핀 패턴 연구에서 많이 사용되는 Ti:sapphire 펨토초 레이저를 이용해서 그래핀 광-열 산화반응을 분석하여 최적화된 그래핀의 최소선폭을 구현하였다. 레이저 에너지의 확산 효과를 최소화하기 위하여 레이저 광강도와 레이저 스캔 속도를 조절하여 최적의 그래핀 특성을 나타내는 패턴을 연구하였으며 18 ㎛의 집속된 빔을 이용하여 최소 30 ㎛의 이차원 그래핀 선폭을 구현하였다.

A chirped-pulse amplification Ti:sapphire laser system has been designed using a 10-Hz 100-TW Ti:sapphire laser to generate 0.1-Hz 0.5-PW laser pulses and optimize their temporal qualities such as temporal contrast and pulse duration. A high-energy booster amplifier to be added is expected to produce an energy above 30 J through the parasitic lasing suppression and the efficient amplification. To improve the temporal contrast of the laser pulses, a high-contrast 1-kHz amplifier system is used as a front-end. A grating stretcher which makes the laser pulse have 1-ns duration is used to prevent optical damages due to high pulse energy during amplification. A grating compressor has been designed with group delay analysis to obtain the recompressed pulse duration close to the transform-limited pulse duration. The final laser pulses are expected to have energy above 20 J and duration below 40 fs.

A scheme to control the laser power and the exposure time was studied to fabricate precise microstructures using the nanostereolithography (nSL) process. Some recent works have shown that a three-dimensional (3D) microstructure can be fabricated by the photopolymerizing process which is induced by two-photon absorption (TPA) with a femtosecond pulse laser. TPA provides the ability to confine photochemical and physical reactions within the order of laser wavelength, so neardiffraction limit features can be produced. In the nSL process, voxels are continuously generated to form a layer and then another layer is stacked in the normal direction of a plane to construct a 3D structure. Thus, fabrication of a voxel with low aspect ratio and small diameter is one of the most important parameters for fabricating precise 3D microstructures. In this work, the mechanism of a voxel formation is studied and a scheme on the control of laser power and exposure for minimizing aspect ratio of a voxel is proposed.

A femtosecond-laser inscribed Yb:YAG surface channel waveguide (WG) laser with single-walled carbon nanotubes deposited on the top surface of the WG was passively Q-switched by evanescent field interaction. Q-switched operation of the 14-mm-long compact Yb:YAG WG laser was achieved near 1031 nm with two different pumping schemes (single- and double-pass pumping) with an output coupling transmission of 91%. The Q-switched pulse characteristics depending on the absorbed pump power were investigated for both pumping geometries and analyzed in detail based on theoretical modeling. The best performances (energy/pulse duration) for each configuration were 204.4 nJ/75 ns at a repetition rate of 1.87 MHz, and 201.1 nJ/81 ns at 1.75 MHz for single- and double-pass pumping, respectively.
