본 논문에서는 고출력 광섬유 레이저의 유도 브릴루앙 산란 억제 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 구형파, 사인파, 임의파 조건의 온도구배 기구부를 설계 및 제작하였다. 또한 전광섬유 MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) 구조의 이터븀 첨가 편광유지 광섬유 증폭기를 제작하였으며, 온도구배 조건별 역반사 스펙트럼 및 출력을 측정하였다. 구형파 조건의 온도구배에 의해 유도 브릴루앙 산란이 가장 효과적으로 억제되었으며, PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) 위상변조 조건과 온도구배 간의 유도 브릴루앙 산란 특성에 끼치는 상호 영향성을 분석하였다.

The transmission characteristics of multi-channel long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) in terms of the physical parameters like the separation distance, grating length and number of gratings will be discussed. Their transmission characteristics such as channel spacing, number of channels, loss peak depth, and channel bandwidth can be easily controlled by physical parameters. Based on the experimental results, their applications to optical multiwavelength Raman lasers and optical sensors will be investigated. A multiwavelength Raman fiber ring laser with 9 WDM channels with 100 ㎓ spacing and 19 channels with 50 ㎓ spacing using tunable multi-channel LPFGs will be experimentally demonstrated. The fiber-optic sensing applications with high resolution and sensitivity based on multi-channel LPFGs will be also presented.

본 논문에서는 고출력 광섬유 레이저에서 역입사되는 레이저 광으로부터 펌프 LD를 보호하기 위한 반사형 2색 필터를 설계하고 제작하였다. 펌프 LD 발진 파장인 905 nm~925 nm 대역에서 투과율은 0.1%이하, 광섬유 레이저 출력 반사광이나 브릴루앙 산란광 파장대역인 1020 nm~1100 nm 대역에서 투과율은 99.9% 이상이 되도록 필터를 설계하였다. 기판(Substrate)은 $SiO_2$로 사용하고 접착력이 우수한 Oxide 계열 물질인 $SiO_2/Ta_2O_5$를 박막 재료로 사용하였다. 최적화된 설계를 한 후 필터를 제작하였고, 그 특성을 비교하였다. 제작된 필터의 투과율이 905 nm ~ 925 nm 대역에선 0.1%이하, 1020 nm~1100 nm 대역에선 95.5%이상으로 측정되어 공정오차를 고려한 설계범위 안에 들어옴을 확인하였다. 제작된 필터는 레이저 출력 1W이상의 입력광에 대해서도 정상 동작함을 확인하였다.

This paper reports the design of a multiwavelength fiber laser source that utilizes a linear cavity of hybrid Brillouin/Erbium fiber laser (BEFL). The output power, threshold power and free running cavity modes were investigated against the pump powers. The structure exhibited low threshold operation of 4 mW at 2.3 mW injected Brillouin pump power. The optimization of Brillouin pump wavelength, power and Erbium gain led to a maximum possible number of channels generated. Simultaneous and stable operation of 21 channels with 10.88 GHz channels spacing were obtained from this architecture at 1 mW injected Brillouin pump power and 90 m W Erbium doped fiber pump power in the 1555 nm region.

Background and Objectives To evaluate the difference in near-infrared (810 nm) laser energy transmission through teeth with and without cracks. Materials and Methods Extracted teeth were sectioned and examined visually for the presence of cracks with the aid of photographs and a trans-illuminator. Fourteen sections, each with cracks (Group A) and no cracks (Group B) were identified and placed 15 mm from the tip of a 300 micron fiber, prior to activation with an 810 nm diode laser (0.1W, 50 ms interval,100 ms duration). A power meter positioned behind the tooth recorded the average energy that was transmitted through the samples. Unpaired t-test analysis was used to determine if the tooth sections with cracks allowed higher power passage compared to sound teeth. Results The mean power recording for the cracked teeth (Group A) was significantly greater (p = 0.0005) than that for the non-cracked teeth (Group B). Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, it is evident that significantly higher laser energy passes through teeth with cracks in comparison to teeth without cracks. A recent clinical study has also shown that lasers could be used to assess symptomatic cracked teeth. Hence, further research is required to determine the relative increase in energy required to identify symptomatic cracked teeth.

The excellent beam quality of high power fiber lasers are commonly used for remote welding applications in body job applications. The Welding speed and productivity is unmatched with any other welding technology including resistance spot welding or traditional laser welding. High tooling cost for clamping and bulky safety enclosures are obstacles which are limiting the use. With the newly developed Laser stitch welding gun we have an integrated clamping in the process tool and the laser welding is shielded in a way that no external enclosure is needed. Operation of this laser welding gun is comparable with resistance spot welding but 2-times faster. Laser stitch welding is faster than spot welding and slower than remote welding. It is a laser welding tool with all the laser benefits like welding of short flanges, weld ability of Ultra High Strength steel, 3 layers welding and Aluminium welding. Together with low energy consumption and minimum operation cost of IPG fiber laser it is a new and sharp tool for economic car body assembly.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

본 연구에서는 모드 잠금된 ps-펄스 광섬유 레이저와 연속 발진하는 좁은 선폭의 반도체 레이저를 이용하여 주기적 분극반전된 LiNbO3(periodically poled lithium niobate; PPLN) 결정에서 합주파수 생성 연구를 수행하였다. 모드 잠금된 펄스 레이저는 중심 파장이 1560.7 nm이고 스펙트럼의 폭은 약 1.1 nm이며, 연속 발진 반도체 레이저는 중심 파장이 1551 nm이고 스펙트럼의 폭은 약 6 MHz로 동작한다. 합주파수 생성을 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서 하나의 단일 모드 광섬유를 이용하여 PPLN 결정 내부에서 두 펌프 광원을 공간적으로 완전히 중첩하였다. 모드 잠금된 펄스 레이저와 좁은 선폭의 연속발진 반도체 레이저에 의해서 모드 잠금된 펄스 형태의 778 nm인 합주파수 생성을 스펙트럼과 시간적인 변화로 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 주파수 제어가 가능한 광주파수 빗(optical frequency comb)을 이용한 광주파수 측정 및 고분해 레이저 분광 연구 등 다양하게 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Diode laser absorption sensors are advantageous because they may provide fast, sensitive, absolute, and selective measurements of species concentration. These systems are very attractive for practical applications owing to its compactness, reasonable cost, robustness, and ease of use. In addition, diode lasers we fiber-optic compatible and thus enable simultaneous measurements of multiple species along a line-of-sight. Recent advances of room-temperature, near-IR and visible diode laser sources for telecommunication, optical data storage applications make it possible to be applied for combustion diagnostics based on diode laser absorption spectroscopy. Therefore, combined with fiber-optics and high sensitive detection strategies, compact and portable sensor systems are now appearing for variety of applications. The objectives of this research are to develop new gas sensing system and to verify feasibility of this system. Wavelength modulation spectroscopy has been demonstrated in these experiments and has a bright prospect to this diode laser system.
